Do you mean they had their run and ratings dropped so they had to be rested? That's usually the case but to tell you the most painful one for me, CANE. Kai, I still dey find am even though research states that it was rested after the first season.

Thank God 24 feature movie is said to be in the works.

LOST lost direction so I won't miss it as I could only stomach 2 seasons before it began to really really bore me. At a point, it seemed the writers were the same ones handling TINSEL at the peak of it's boring run.

I pray MENTALIST is still on o! Sombwadi let me in on the gist biko.

PoliticsRe: Kenya Mall Under Attack From Islamic Terrorists (Pictures) by overboard(m): 8:50am On Sep 22, 2013
Jakumo: Ease up with the armchair squad leader critique, Sagamite. This unprecedented attack caught the Kenyan security forces totally by surprise, and obviously they had no time to get dressed and change into uniform so as to abide by a dress code insisted upon by armchair generals in Nigeria. The police and troops sent to the Kenyan mall had time only to strap on their battle kit and rush to engage the cowardly enemy, at great risk to their own lives.

Your suggestion that guns should always be "pointed and ready" is dead wrong as well. When the safety catch on a firearm is OFF, that weapon needs to be pointed either straight up, or straight down, UNLESS a target has been spotted and the armed response officer is taking aim to light up a virgin seeker. The trigger pressure required to open fire with an assault rifle is typically on the order of 3 to 5 pounds of finger-pull. In a tense situation where incoming fire is present, guns are gripped MUCH tighter, whereby if a finger slips off the trigger guard with the gun pointed at innocents, the trigger will be pulled BY MISTAKE, and a burst of live fire will jelly-fish anything in front of the weapon.

In short, the guns MUST stay pointed vertically UP or DOWN until the instant an enemy combatant is to be engaged, AND NOT ONE MOMENT SOONER.
Wow @Jakumo, I was just about commend Sagamite til I saw your seemingly superior argument. Makes sense... you must have some kinda training militarily.

RomanceRe: 10 Funny Signs You're An Introvert by overboard(m): 6:17pm On Aug 31, 2013
chronique: Depression? Lolz. You're definitely talking about someone else. My mental faculty is at a very stable and high level. I spend my time indoors reading online,brainstorming,solving problems and developing new ideas and concepts for new projects/inventions. My staying indoors to think and put my brain to work,led me to creating an electronic/mobile hospital,a security system that repels intruders and alerts police authorities of a possible robbery attempt,security system that detects movement of explosives,etc. Unfortunately,these ideas are capital intensive and are not easy to develop. Not all introverts are timid and suffer from low self esteem/depression. Some are geniuses in the making and need absolute tranquility to bring out the best of their creative skills. I'm in that category. I don't like noise or being around noisy people. I love quiet and serene environments. I once showed someone my crib and he was shocked. He said he's been passing that house but has never seen someone coming out from it. He had the believe the occupants were outside the country. Depression,athritis? Not at all. I could talk to you in public and you'd never know I'm an introvert. Do not confuse being an introvert with mental/psycological suffering and depression.
Dude, you are killing me. Seems Im the one typing.
RomanceRe: 10 Funny Signs You're An Introvert by overboard(m): 6:09pm On Aug 31, 2013
chronique: Well,in my case,I was more of an extrovert when I was much younger but as I grew older,I became an introvert and I like it that way. Nobody comes to my house to visit anyhow and if you must see me,you must call to say you're coming. You can be at my gate and knock all day and I won't answer you if I'm not expecting you. When you're tired,you'd go to your house. I hardly visit people and I love having my space. Moreover,I love being indoors and it hardly bores me. So long as I have internet access 24/7,I'm ok. I'd just spend my time reading stuffs online.
Ah so me! God forgive me but everything OP listed jumped right at me & when I sighed my wife came to read what caused it and was like, this is just you!
Nairaland GeneralRe: Annoying Things Nigerians Do by overboard(m): 1:18pm On Aug 10, 2013
I just have to way this & I'm not trying to hurt anyone's morale: We need to learn eating habits like closing our mouth when chewing in order to avoid that 'kposhun kposhun' sound. It's annoying really. This sets us apart from animals...


Also when brushing, do you want to cough out your pharynx? Haba!


You finish having sachet water or so and the next thing is you toss it anywhere with glee! Anytime I have Gala or the like, I hold onto it (sometimes putting the packet in my pocket or bag) and then dispose of at the nearest bin.


Why would you pack out the contents of a gutter and then leave it next there? In a few hours or days, the same waste returns to base by rain, wind or simply hurled back.


You have spent millions building a 'beauriful' edifice only for it to be classlessly defaced with semi-skilled brains breaking crossing AC cables in an unruly fashion; broken walls for such mended and it's obvious additional room was made there; painters aimlessly repaint window and door panes, power sockets... just because they won't skillfully cover such with paper and tape...


Haa, I tire.

Hian, That was the weakest IMHO. The was little direction, there was little synergy save for MI & Ice Prince bit, in fact, everyone was in their own world to the detriment of the song. Even Bez & Nneka no free shine... there was a critical musical coordination issue.

Last year's was on point and the video also well complimented the music.

Music/RadioRe: Don Jazzy Begs Dbanj After Fans Abandon Him As His Career As A Producer Fails by overboard(m): 12:51pm On Aug 05, 2013
Enough of this already! This post is in bad taste, no doubt.

'Solar Plexus' may not have been successful truly but I think Don Jazzy producing other people is a good thing and it's way too early to say he's failed. DJ Premier was not meant to produce Jeru Da Damaja & Guru alone. My only fear is that he may be a bit too expensive for most people giving his financial status in the last couple of years...

If the tale that the Loya Milk deal is just N5m is untrue and is much more as expected, then his being endorsed by them is a good deal on his part even though I can't imagine what went through the mind of the brand consultants that proposed that; there's little brand 'alignment' here as an Omawumi (or Cossy *LOL*) would have been better understood. But it's yielding dividends no doubt.

His Samsung deal is a really important and economically fulfilling venture that I trust will continue.

D'Banj has likewise done well for himself. His shows have been quite a success and has been severally endorsed. His music may lack that wow factor since after the split but his brand is definitely intact perhaps due to his enchanting charisma.

There no victor nor vanquished for now and we need not expect that if we are to be fair to these individuals.

I think Savlon is a better choice as you'll be smelling like Izal after using Roberts. A particular hospital severally rejects Dettol for some strange reasons. When my wife was to give birth, when Dettol was mentioned, you need to see how the nurses vehemently insisted on Savlon. Dunno?

olatiler: Am fucking stinking tired with the way some dude make their comparison on this thread by not seen thing from far angle only on tribal aspect, In far back june a big fight broke up btw 2 naija guy in Nairobi argue on common Amosun Champain palava till I settle them and let them both realise that Jazzy didn't bought it that he was SALES BOY to Amosun, on coming to see Obama inauguration in Dar Es Salaam this past month on his Tour to advertise GAY JAGAJAGA I meet another issue again when some TZ girl hold DB big postal naming it africa No1 hip hop musician to let Obama know that we African can do as US.
Now let come to the main point, why would anybody compare Current DB Achievement with DJazzy, they ain't match "HAKUNA" DB still perform his duty as a musician and that has won him many notable contract like HENNESSY AMBASSADOR, BANK OF INDUSTRY AMBASSADOR, latter ETISALAT AMBASSADOR unlike the Djazzy that turn himself to SALESBOY of Cheap Company like Loyal or Amosun who they ware only known in Southern Nigeria.
Therefore I will employ all DB eja n la Haters to desist from such, this guy is making Nigeria proud and is making impact in Nigeria music Industry, imagine him single handedly brought 2chain to this country

Christianity EtcRe: Should We Use Hip-hop Or Fuji To Sing Choruses In Church? by overboard(m): 2:45pm On Jun 30, 2013
I have thought about this a while now. IMO, the genre is not the main point here except some certain forms of like black, extreme and death metal... but the borrowing of "worldly" melodies. For instance, using "Oliver Twist" melody for church music, I
think is unduly brazen & disrespectful to Christianity.

If however, reggae, hip hop, afro beat, soft rock and such in their moderate forms are used to compose glorifying and edifying music, again IMHO, I think it's ok.
I left out some forms of rock like the metal variation 'cos at. first listen alone, it feels like a demon jumped at me. I may be wrong.

Jobs/VacanciesRe: Please Help Review this Cover Letter by overboard(m): 12:36pm On Jun 06, 2013
1forall: OP highlight those aspects of your experience/qualifications which might be most relevant to the role and be sure to comment on the skills/qualities/abilities outlined in the job advert. Match the info about the candidate that is most relevant to the job, showing the employer that you are aware of the job requirements, your strengths and how they 'fit'.

It is essential that you use the cover letter to give information about your knowledge, evidence of your skills and statements about your quality as a candidate. You seem to have done so in the letter above but apply some structure to the general presentation as follows:

.......................................................} Introduction, expressing
.......................................................} your interest in the
.......................................................} vacancy.

.......................................................} a) 1 or 2 paragraphs
.......................................................} detailing the 'fit' between
.......................................................} you, the job, and the
.......................................................} organization.

.......................................................} b) Key selling points in
.......................................................} relation to specifics of
.......................................................} the job advert.

.......................................................}
.......................................................} Positive closure.
.......................................................}

The 2nd and 3rd sections above are the most important so take time to develop these. And yes they are related but the 3rd is more specific to the job itself than the 2nd.

Good luck!
THIS SHOULD DO IT. EXPRESSIVE, TO THE POINT, DEVOID OF EMOTIONS & SHORT.

Err I wouldn't be too fast with that thought. Etisalat are quite notoriuos for not paying for the value they get. For one, most of the regulars they feature on their TVCs are paid per job and through agencies with no incentives. I guess the guy saw that MTN were ready to pay for value and he jumped ship. Brutality in certain aspects of Nigerian business is necessary I tell you.

Etisalat had done their own subtle attack to with the MTN "goat" TVC and this is a reprisal attack, a sweet one. I sure say dem go retaliate wella!
