Una never start dating yet una don begin bring 'brain' for sharing money.
Relationship is about sacrifices.
If neither of you is gonna be a fool from the same day then perhaps the both of you are too wise to live 2gether.

My words are often strong. I can't help it.
Perhaps I need to take lessons on using soft words. undecided

On Kuwena's departure,
Kuwena had left this thread before after a certain fight with Opoks!
And came back again. So I suspect that this one will be a de ja vu!

Why do I think he will definitely come back?

Because Kuwena has only three girlfriends:

One is his Bank Account

Two is his beloved USA

And three is this thread; 'Which Way NLNG'

Every other thing around him is a variable.
If you query my assertions, just follow his numerous posts.

Even if he does not come back immediately, he will be reading and following this thread more than the 'silent ones'.
And probably pondering on what his most dramatic come-back ploy will be like.
Hitting out on Opoks!, coming back as a saint or inventing an entirely new style?
This thread is like drug to him so forget about luring him back.

At the worst, he may come back with a different signature but no other signature will be like 'Kuwena'.
Besides, Kuwena is too bold to pretend with another signature.

He may be annoying and divisive but the guy is 'bold'.

Or am I entirely wrong?

pak:



but me thinks sometimes you overdo things  angry


Yeah! I think I agree with you.
I overdo on the fights! Oh God! undecided
I'm not ready to polish my image though we are judged by the nature of our posts.

I only think that those who have experienced me for hours know of a more pleasant person. wink
Ask Kenosky, Uche6879, Lindiwe et al.
I am a goddamn extrovert when it comes to writing and dancing.


pgm:

pak my guy, how u dey? tried calling you unsuccessfully ystd. As for the match between Spain and Italy, FIFA has just confirmed officially that Spain used jasz as in voodoo. That is why the Italians kept missing their penalty kicks whenever they mattered. Sanctions are on the way. Trust FIFA!!!

hello every one. Missed u guys.

Funny how things turn out on this thread.
Kuwena leaves, pgm appears. The crazi one!
And immediately shows why he earns that award; voodoo in an European match
Confirmed by FIFA?

See what I'm talking about.

I wonder whether MAN UTD used the same on chelsea and/or on John Terry some weeks ago?
Abi you've either been watching the drama from your system or someone just told you about the recent happenings?

Welcome back bro!

Now that we have both pgm and stannesi on the same thread at the same time,
I wonder what this thread will look like.
interesting! tongue

Good morning o!
Nnoo nu o!

@Pak
I no grow up for Lagos or Warri.
Na for relatively quiet place for East na im i grow up.
Na Kenosky grow up for Lagos.
Thanks for the yabs sha. One way of saying you don't appreciate my roughness.
No vex abeg cry No be everybody go like me na!

Speaking of which, I have you noticed that your posts often takes this trend:
My day was rough undecided, I had a very rough week . . . work and stress wan kill me undecided . . . and then . . .
God or Yahweh steps in and heals the day. wink
I appreciate you man.
Not a bad flavour . . . not bad at all!


@Alfaprime
Sorry for missing your bday!
I usually do not post on wkends.
Happy Bday Man!
I hope you took time to thank God.
I sabi wetin you fit do wink


@Kuwena
I still dey miss you o!
Don't mind wetin Stannesi yarn say I no go miss you.
Though I won't miss your bashing Nigeria, Nigerians or anything Black Africa, I love me. I love where I hail from kiss
God no make mistake.

I will miss your controversy though.
You're the only poster that makes me put on my boxing gloves. cry cry cry
I'm sorry to admit it; I like it hot! And Kuwena often provides the perfect scenarios.

I want you back a less controversial man, if you fit.
If wishes were horses, beggars go own ranch.


@Stannesi
I never react to your initial funny post after Kuwena's exit.
Not to talk of reading the subsequent ones.
But you funny sha!
A perfect blend of sarcasm and humour.
And yes, you sabi talk your mind in the mist of those craziness.


Too many posts to read! And too many pressing things to focus on my table.
I got to go! . . . .


@Kenosky
It's quite uncharacteristic for you to lock up!
I don annoy you?
Abeg forgive me. I be naughty boy. tongue


@Uchetobi
Don't mind Opoks! grin
He is not as rough as he posts.
It's just that truth harasses even when not intended.

@Uchetobi
In fairness to you, I've seen your post a few times.
They usually came very sparingly and often on special ocassions.
Either someone was fighting (then you lamented)
Or someone was celebrating (only for tommyex tongue)
Or simply a one-liner 'after a million pages' tongue
I appreciate.

I would have appreciated you better, had you been more consistent (as consistent as you read us!).
We didn't need to discuss about consulting before you can contribute (I know you work in KPMG tongue).
After all, the discussions here had never dwelled on telecoms where I've spent practically my entire career.

I wasn't only addressing you.
I was addressing a particular trend that I've noticed on this thread.

Peeps are quick to jump in (with their judgements) to have a last word whenever a misunderstanding arises on this thread.
And I wonder where they were all the time we were developing it and entertaining them?
I think it is rather selfish! angry

If you love the thread and you enjoy what you read and your experience on it,
contribute to it while it is still alive!

Don't come and give us a 'Judge Jury' whenever the guys are having a misunderstanding,
when you couldn't contribute anything to keep the thread going!

Nigerians love judging from the sidelines! angry
Yet very few take responsibility!

You didn't offend me. I was just being myself; 'vocal'

uchetobi:

Once upon a time, this used to be an educative and interesing thread, can't believe we are still fighting

Once upon a time indeed .  .  . undecided

Yes, it could have remained educative and interesting if people refrained from spinning polarising and racially divisive posts!
I'm even appalled that it comes from (supposedly) one of our own. embarassed

Secondly it could also have remained educative and interesting if perpertually silent readers like you had played a more active role.
Perhaps a more 'positive' role (however you may refer to it).

But everyone is quick to judge when the cookie crumbles. sad

Kuwena might have been annoying and divisive with his posts.
But he had more 'liver' than most people that I've met on this thread.
He had the 'liver' to live his life and exhibit his weaknesses, ignorannce and sometimes stupidity, no matter what anybody thought.

For that alone, I gbadun him.

So many pretenders walk into the thread only when a fight erupts.
Beyond that, they have absolutely nothing meaningful to contribute.

Adieu Kuwena!
Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Which Way Nlng? by opokonwa(m): 9:41am On Jun 19, 2008
Frankly speaking, Kuwena has 'RESIGNED' undecided

Alfaprime's laptop charge just got "burnt"

Kenosky is 'silent' undecided

Aniffy just reappeared but only wants to chat on Yahoo! messenger
with his kindred 'friend' Pak

Who else would have a temporal or permanent 'dislodgement'?

While I wait for reactions from other 'ghost posters' and fairly-regulars alike
I'm considering taking a walk too.

No be only me go dey here now sad


But frankly Kuwena, I think you needed the break.
Kindly use it to re-appraise what you have posted (all your posts)
And consider the impact it may have made on other people.

Kindly use it to assess your words and actions
And see whether you have made 'good' of all you said, did or not do.
And to what extent that you did.

Use it to assess the many reactions that you had ellicited from people on this thread
Including those who have left, what they either said to you at one time or another.

Most importantly, use it to assess the impression the character Kuwena may have made on people
And imagine what could be going on in people's minds, if and when they ever meet you.

I have had the privilege of meeting you and spent hours with you.
Just like Adrianic and Wandel did.
Hence I feel no surprises.

But tell me that you may abandon this thread forever?
Na by muscle?

Unless the rest of us leaves as well.

Maybe, by the time you come back, if you come back and if the rest of us are still here,
you may learn to respect other people's feelings about their country, roots, heritage and values, even if you don't share same.

Had this been a Jewish-dominated thread, you won't survive consistent anti-Jewish rants
Had it been an Islamc-dominated thread, you won't survive anti-islamc rants either.

I have even been to a thread littered with a few Ghanaians
And saw how they tore apart anyone who had any anti-Ghana sentiment.
I was proud of them.

But all sorts of rubbish were 'tolerated' by the threaders here in the name of 'tolerance' and love.
Nobody wants to be a bad guy undecided

If it wasn't about 'the Christian God', it was about Nigeria littered with witches, envious and less ambitous people.

If it wasn't that you were too fine, spoke with panache, walked with a chest pushed out to the wind and people envying you undecided
It was about a Catparian (or Dogparian) secret sect where you even made reference to drinking blood!

If it wasn't about you never marrying b/c you wanted to make money (whoever told you that?) undecided
It was about threaders joining your village people to envy you.
Phew! I need air!

The Nigerians on this thread are very tolerant.
I differ.

Adieu! Enjoy your rest!

I hope you come back a better person.
If you come back.

Una welcome back to reality thread series.

It's high time that all these rubbish about Africa, Nigeria and/or Nigerians be stopped.

Kuwena
Read your subsequent posts last week and as usual, have a few holes to poke at them.

Did I read about your 'catparian' plans to help Africa in the future from the US?

Boo hooooooo!!!!!!!!! grin . . . . . . . Laugh no gree me.

Kindly save that your catpar (future) philantrophy for those who believe in fairy tales. I don't.

From someone who turned his back on his brothers simply because he fared better than them?
And refused to assist them up till this moment?

Oh! Wait a minute! . . . maybe I'm missing out on something here.

Someone who cannot help his own blood brothers to come out of their misery is proposing to help a whole continent in future?

Beats me.
Where is the saying that charity begins at home?

You see why I often consider your words to be so porous and your actions as pointers to the real you?

Kuwena, you have no love for anybody; not your brothers, not God and not your country but yourself!
Fine! Free world! But stop making a bad case of how the country and her people are treating you so poorly and envying you!
As though we have never seen anyone like you

Methinks that by now, you would have flown out of the country for good (having got your Visa?).
I mean, why are you still around?
I am sure that the Nigerian government is not holding you back abi money never complete?

If you hate a country and her people so much that you feel nothing good can ever come out of her, then why are you still here?

I wouldn't mind escorting you to the Airport and waving you a final bye bye!
I mean it is long overdue. embarassed

Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Which Way Nlng? by opokonwa(m): 3:15pm On Jun 13, 2008
Alright, I am a fool. You are wise.

Nigerians are fools. I do not recognize this because I am a fool.
Only Kuwena is wise.

Nigerians, my people tend to envy; I do not recognize it because I am a fool.
Perhaps I also envy like Nigerians because I am one.

You love Africa so much and the best way to show it is to debase her and her people at every slightest opportunity?
Tell that to the marines! sad

Look at your lines of argument above.

Your maturity can almost be gauged by those lines of argument above.
And your tendency to lose your cool when you're confronted with a superior sense of reasoning is obvious.

It is very easy to hurl insults and names to someone who lays bare your folly to your face. Truth hurts!
It is also easy to hurl insults from a safe distance.

Anyone can insult anyone on the web, from the president to one's mother, father or even God.
You have even insulted God severally on this thread; so who am I?

If you were half as intelligent as you claim, you don't need to lose your cool. Argue as an intelligent man.

I leave the rest for the Nigerians and non-Nigerians that walk in and out of this thread to judge who the fool is.

I am beyond mindless name-callings.
Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Which Way Nlng? by opokonwa(m): 2:39pm On Jun 13, 2008
Kuwena
You simply called yourself a fool in one of your posts above.
I'm glad you're beginning to admit to who you are wink

That the world is thinning and that mine is a subjective statement are all your opinions.
Maybe you should have provided a minutest 'intelligent' arguement that it is thinning instead of expressing what is at best, your opinion.
At least I backed mine with the current state of world politics.
Move over!

John Locke ni! John Locke ko o! That Obama is a product of his socialization o! More white that black o! And this helped his selection o!
Na also your opinion embarassed Nobody argues with you on those issues. embarassed
If you know anything about American politics other than being delighted that Obama won the DNC election primary, bring it on!
Rather than being a self-proclaimed judge of objectivity and subjectivity tongue

I do not need to offer you any physical or numerical statistics to substantiate any of my post. You no dey nursery school.
At least you have the internet in front of you and unlimited access to world news and events. What do you do when you come online?
Only go to 'Which Way NLNG'? undecided  Let me give you some tips. Try checking CNN.com, BBC News, Fox News, Sky News, Google News, Yahoo News and even our local online newspapers to get a proper perspective of either world politics, American elections or events at your doorstep
That way you may begin to yarn authoritatively and not bother on whether opinions are subjective or objective.

On inferiority complex, tell me what you suffer from that almost anytime you encounter a Nigerian, you are either wary that they envy you, capable of doing you harm or you do not blend? And whenever you speak of a white man, it is the opposite; one of reverence??

Is every balck man or Nigerian jealous of Kuwena? You said the same thing about your colleagues in the bank where you resigned.
Abeg give me a break!  I'm sure you will carry the same impression to the US.

Tell me what it is you felt when you posted these things below?

.
The hotel the man checked into was in Africa.

2. The man was pleased that 'they have computers here'.

3. He revealed to his wife that the place was very hot (expectedly making her think it was Hell)

If you had added these points, as in the original version of the joke, it would have been easier to laugh to.

Why do we Africans seem too defensive of our mediocre state of affairs? Beats me


A ridicle of Africa?

Even Pak had to come in after that particular post to say, 'so much for Africa / Nigeria bashing'.

If you do not feel proud about who you are or where you come from, at least some people do; respect them!

What was all those things you poted about Chimanda Adichie. As though arguing that it is somehow unfounded, even wrong for someone who has spent time overseas to feel home sick for her home country?

What impression did you intend to create with this post of yours below?

And if we must progress, let us tell our relatives in the village to learn to curtail their jealousies. It is too much! And we are sinfully copying their example! Can you believe today I went somewhere and someone that knew me when I was with IB Plc saw me in mufti and said, 'Ah-ahn. No work today?' I said, 'I've resigned,' and before she could check herself she spontaneously blurted out, 'Thank God!' Then immediately realizing her folly, she said, 'Oh. Sorry, I mean congratulations.' I wanted to ask, Congratulations for what? But I decided it would be in bad taste, and she looked too embarrassed already. This happened only today. Naija, na wa-o! Na so we go use progress? 


Please! Puleaase!!! and Puleeeaaase!!!!!!!!
The Nigerians that I meet everyday are not jealous, envious and diabolical like you paint them with wreckless abandon.
I do not know where and how you meet those people; maybe in your mind embarassed

Kuwena
Subjective and objective are all grammar.
Share your view about travelling around the world (to the USA, wherever) but don't .  .  .
don't make it seem like the rest of us who couldn't care less are either living in the village, have less taste or worse, are inferior to the rest of the world.
Recent post of yours about Nigeria and Africa smugs of inferiority complex when compared to elsewhere.
Be yourself! Go wherever you want to go, no police hol you.

And I wonder where & how you meet the kind of people you often claim to meet.
You know that there is a saying that a country deserves the kind of leaders it gets.
I also add that a person deserves the kind of people they attract.
Why do I say this?
It seems like everywhere you go, you either meet someone who is envious of you (as you claim), jealous of you, less polished and all that.
And I wonder why I do not meet those kind of people.
Maybe you should beam the torch on yourself instead.


Skeelo
Glad to know that you're still alive!
Better than those who would never post a line since either losing out of NLNG or getting in.


Kenosky
I no dey fight anybody! Just reacting to several posts I've read.
My own dad was travelling around the world; USA, Germany, Austria, UK, Belgium, etc etc.
For the better part of my childhood, I grew up with mum being the MD of the home (or local) front.
Dad came back when I was almost past adolesent to begin familiarizing himself with his kids, who were almost adults by then.
Certain careers can affect one's family and childhood experience.

And back to your question; you could still have come out from another man, the looks might be different but the spirit & soul which was put into the flesh will utimately turn out to be who you are today.


Jisidaisy expected a rousing welcome?

Alfaprime
I never said that you refered to anyone's plans neither did I indicate your endorsing anyone's heart desire as regards choice of country of nationality.
I was merely sharing Opoks! mind. Opoks! view.
Opoks! view is strictly original.


Izi-n-bizi
Nice post; best post so far for me on this page.
Very thoughtful too.
But while the world might be becoming a global village, it is worthy to note that it is mostly information-wise.
Apart from a few outstanding individuals who may be showing the way, the world's people are not becoming or acting 'global' at all. They are not yet ready for this idea or better put, are not practicing what they preach. The idea of the world becoming a global village has not permitted more tolerance or acceptance of foreigners in alien countries. It is simply an idea that appeals to the information age (showing how information is quickly shared) and/or global (or international) business. It is also employed by politicians in international politics to further their home country's cause.

People are still holding tight to ethnic, racial, tribal and sexist bias.
Explains why the American people are yet to embrace the reality that an African American (as you called him undecided) might become the next President of the United States! America is yet to wake up; they do not know what just hit them! tongue
More than half of America did not (initially) accept him. Not even the Democratic National Congress (DNC) party where he belongs.

Explains why the DNC allowed the primary to stretch to its limits even when they knew that the Cintons would never catch up.
Had he been a white, the DNC would have crowned Obama as its party nominee long before they eventually did.
The results were so clearly going in his favour yet the divisions within the party were so obvious. sad
I guess they eventually succumbed to a sustained winning streak from Obama. Nobody can question data while it can still be counted.
And yet, the DNC is the closest America can claim to 'liberalism'. sad

Explains why he was picking up endorsements from delegates who thought deeper about his electability and not necessarily winning the popular votes.
Explains why the Primary was so racially and gender divided; the blacks went for Obama (a deception if you ask me because he is a multi-racial who just happens to have a darker skin. Never mind that he had a Kenyan father, his mother was as white as a freshly-cut yam) while more whites and women went for Clinton.
The Presidential election is also expected to tow the same line except if McCain does not have an answer to Obama's organisation machine and charisma.

Need I go on and on.
People are still very mindful of their 'boundaries'; be it ethnic, racial, skin colour, gender, national, religious, historical, etc.
If you observe well, you will find out that the world is even more deeply divided than before; Israel with America, America with NATO, Iran with its anti-Israeli, Arab & Islamc inclination, 'uneasy calm' in the Middle-East mainly because of Israeli unquestionable military domination, China & North Korea still pursuing isolation policies, Russia playing duck, Africa still battling with hunger, wars, corrupt and incumbent leaders, etc.
Nothing has changed except information (easily accessible information!). Thank God for the internet!

However, you made a point about us 'working together anywhere, to add value to humanity'. Yes I agree.
But I tell you that the sense of 'nationality' will always be there in every individual.

I am eternally proud of who I am and where I come from.
We may not have the best of values or achievement to showcase to the world but we do not have the worst either.
There is nowhere like home, nobody exactly like me and I neither have nor cherish another identity.


Finally to Kenosky
Yes! Adedibu is dead!
What a relief! Phew! undecided
HELL will definitely reject some people!

Nice to know that there're peeps out there with a softer side.
I never cry, do not remember the last time I did. Not even when I lost my sister.

My girlfriend is the opposite. Cries when I scold her, cries when another is in pain, cries when she is sick, cries when she makes a mistake . . . cries when she hears another's misfortune . . . in fact, these days I am careful not to display my irritable side because I know the reaction . . . more tears!

She says that her dad is like that and that 'easy tears' is a noticable trait among her family.
Mine is different, we are all hard-minded.

Why bother to educate a man who has sold his conscience & nationality (and everything he ever had) on the altar of travelling & relocating abroad permanently?
Why are you people still on this very topic?

Let he who wants to love his roots love his roots well well!
And let he who hates it (or disguises same) hate it well well!
It's a free world!

After all, what is the value of either your love or hate for Nigeria?
Does it add food to the plate of the deprived or more money to the earnings of Opoks! ?

I personally think that this subject is an over-flogged issue that only insults the senses of true & patriotic Nigerians.

Kuwena has made up his mind to dump his country, brothers and everything that reminds him of Nigeria. Period.

I wonder whether subsequent discussions on this issue suggests that Kuwena is seeking justification for his resolve?
Your 'home' can be in the Arctic Ocean, Santa Barbara or Imo state, who cares?!

Go ahead and head on to the USA for life. We wish you well! We have always wished you well!
But often coming back on the same topic to relate how you have given up on everything Nigeria or 'home' as you may refer to it makes me sick embarassed
As though you're desperately seeking for like-minded peeps who will endorse your viewpoint?

Asked them to come pick me up from my aunt's place.
On my way still, met another very close friend who probably was on his way to chill at my place.
On enquiring about my modus operandi   I replied that 'all roads led to my aunt's place'. grin

Met my aunt at her home in style and good spirits
Hit off the very important discussion amidst offers of various orishishi
Your guy settled for a bottle of groundnuts as I already had enough chop-chop at home.
We both were agreeing on the same terms and finishing off each other's statements. cheesy
Sometimes, one needs a strong alliance like hers to forge ahead in life cheesy

My Gees arrived just-in-time to pick me up for another rendezvous!
We were 'Best of Friends' during my MBA time.
A just left NNPC Warri for Exxon Mobil Lagos
B just left FCMB for KPMG Professional Services, both in Lagos.
Opoks! is still contemplating his next move from Glo undecided

Well the get-together ended up at my place. It had been long-expected.
Babygirl showed up from church just-in-time to meet the three musketeers!

A brief introduction to my Gees and the familiarization process became natural.
Rendezvous! started in earnest as everyone made themselves comfortable amidst various gist.

It's good to see Gees who could barely afford a decent meal way back in school get comfortable talking about future plans, marriage plans, challenges at work, industrial trends, choices to be made, probable timeline for each plan and general things about life.
Who says making friends ain't good? Good friends are wonderful!

8:05pm. Babygirl begged to go home as she suspected that Gees-talk ain't going to end soon.
Saw her off. Came back for more pep talk amidst small chops with my Gees.
All sorts of topic were dissected (sports, jokes, life matters, music, career plans, other plans, etc) and I didn't mention; we were earlier joined by another company; another G.

Everything began to wind up around 9:30pm as guys began to recognize that they had a home to go to and late night deadlines to beat.
Wow! What a Day!

Came back indoors after seeing my Gees off and began to tidy up the crib('cause I'm alone tongue grin)
And I also hate untidy places. sad
Relaxed and pondered on the events of the day and made plans for the next day.
Called babygirl to know if she don reach house and if everything is ok.
Got a positive response and all those I love you talk tonguena today?!
Didn’t know when I drifted to sleep.

Woke up to the sound of rushing waters! shocked
The tap outside was left open!
PHCN had brought light in the middle of the night and the pumping machine jolly-well started pumping water to the flats and the water was wasting! shocked shocked shocked
Damn! I got up to make sure the rushing water was not from my flat and I was right.
Checked the clock and can’t remember whether it was 1:00am or 2:00am that I saw. undecided
Drifted back to sleep to wake up by 5:57am today (Quite late for me)

Came to work this morn .  .  .
Only to read you guys’ different posts today.

What’s the moral of my story?

I enjoyed The Democracy Day!
I had fun! Spent it my own way!

Didn’t need to think ‘bout Nigeria, Yar’Adua or anybody.
Just caught my own groove in Opoks! own stylee! stylee!! stylee!!! .  .  .  . grin

Cheers!

Did this really happen?
Or people like to paint extreme pictures just to make a point?

Have an open discussion on it just to clear the suspicion and gauge her mind.
Allow the girl to make up her mind who she wants to be with.
After all, you're not the one the heat is on.
Keep your cool except of course, you are insecure.

Sexual fantasy is part of being human.
It must surely cross your mind one way or another except you're a robot which is programmed not to think sex at all!

So @poster
Your question is unrealistic!
Which planet are your from?


But self-control and abstinence is always feasible.
