Politics › Re: Northern Govs In Jonathan’s Camp Are Deceiving Him –shehu Sani by paranorman(m): 11:58am On Sep 15, 2013
I am not a fan of preferin one man to the other... Though i aint no poltical analyst, but me think GEJ has lot of enemies and tis makin the man desperate as seen from the things happenin in this country... Clearly, the north is no fan of jonathan, but he tries too much to please them and sooner or later, he might pay for it and i pray he isnt put to shame...! Buhari, that name self is enough.. That name doesnt speak well for that man especially in the south generally.. Dude's got blood on his hands (wel, according to testimonies).. I dont see APC being the salavtion of Nigeria.. 'tis still the same politicians that think they are some 'shareholder' of this great contry that belong to the party.. Defection of certain members of opposition parties to APC will not make it better, infact, they might become worse but will surely get stronger... They are all birds of a feather..! It is in Jonathan regime that we all saw what was really happening in this country... Some people say corruption soared; nah, people got exposed.. These tins have bn happenin a long time ago.
Wether you believe it or not, only Jonathan can 'clean' this country... B'leve you me, if GEJ wins the 2015 election, he will be a threat to some people in 'high places' because by then, he will have nothin to loose!! Bokoharam are a tool in some some wicked men hands just like the niger-deltan militants prefers jonathan in power.... (are you pondering what i am ponderin??!) i just think jonathan should forget this 2015 and 'clean' this country vigorously, mercilessly with the power God had given him... I just wish o.. I sincerely wish jona could 'run' this for me... Jonathan has a good heart for this country, forces are frustrating his efforts.. Obasanjo should please stay outta the affairs of this nation; Nigeria is not ur property!! In conclusion, y'all remember the 'law of dimishing returns' in economics right? same applies to corruption/bad governance... Thus, law of diminishing bad governance:
" as more variable factors are added to fixed factor of bad governance of a nation, a stage will be reached when corruption will reach its peak, ther will b awakenin of the people, den evolution and revolution will take place, bad governance/corruption will den diminish to the bearable minimum and a country can den be healthy....." Hehehehe

Nairaland General › SHOCKING: Bianca Got Pregnant Twice While Dating Fani-kayode – Kemi Olunloyo by paranorman(op): 4:15pm On Sep 11, 2013
Ms Kemi Olunloyo, the controversial daughter of a former Governor of Oyo State, has declared her resolve to expose dirty secrets of the alleged relationship between Femi Fani-Kayode and Bianca Ojukwu because Bianca is saying that she never had any intimate relationship of any kind with him.

Here are what the controversial Kemi had to say :

“Nigeria’s Ambassador to Spain Mrs Bianca Ojukwu lost two babies for Femi Fani Kayode during our days in UK."

They planned to wed. “Ask their parents, some in the heavens above. At least Govenor Onoh and his wife Caroline were happy at the time.

The first baby was miscarried (Act of God) and the second she #ABORTED! This is what really broke them up.

Femi wanted his BABY and he left HER! “I will keep telling the truth as Bianca needs to STOP saying she NEVER MET him!!!”

Ms Kemi Olunloyo.

Family › Re: Nigerian Women Laments The Scarcity Of Men! by paranorman(op): 6:16pm On Sep 06, 2013
A 38-year old business woman in Ketu, Mrs. Rita Adewunmi, narrated how she lost her first husband to a friend, Idayat, who was desperate for a husband.
According to Mrs. Adewunmi who remarried last year, Idayat was 36 and needed a husband but her search was endless.
“I was always encouraging her and made her a part of my family. She would always help me take care of the kids when I go to the market.
“With time, she took over my husband without my knowledge until the day I caught them red-handed and that was the end of my marriage. Ladies are like hunters these days,” she said.
Asked why she was not married at 34, Blessing Osuoha, a nurse with a private hospital in Abuja, retorted: “that is why I’m on this social site. Why are you asking? Is it a bad idea if you propose to me?”
She explained that life was becoming unbearable without a husband.
“My friends and family members are always asking when they would come and ‘chop’ rice, and I keep hoping,” she added.
A marriage counsellor in Lagos, Mrs. Victoria Aliu, told P.M.NEWS that scarcity of ‘real men’ is becoming a terrible condition for women ready for marriage.
She blamed the problem partly on the Nigerian economy, confusion among the bachelors on their choices of the women they want as wives and the attitudes of the spinsters.
“Many women, whether consciously or not, behave irritably sometimes, forgetting that the man just beside them at every point in time may just have been nursing how to start a conversation that could lead to marriage.
“Some other ladies are very choosy and unserious at their early stages of adulthood. They only open their eyes to discover that their friends are all married and that they are the only ones left at the bus stop. Then it becomes a terrible case for them,” she explained.
Family › Nigerian Women Laments The Scarcity Of Men! by paranorman(op): 6:13pm On Sep 06, 2013
**“What is happiness without a man in a woman’s life?”
**“I am not getting any younger and I cry everytime I see my mates with their husbands and children."


The recent alarm raised by the Catholic Women Organisation that husbands would become scarce in Nigeria in 2023 as many Nigerian spinsters are currently witnessing the no-husband syndrome.
Within the last few weeks, some of the ladies who spoke with our correspondent reported serious apprehension, pressure and a total lack of peace as the consequence of their inability to get married.

One of the ladies, who preferred to be simply called Titi said she had taken the issue of marriage as a do-or-die affair due to “internal pressure” but that as much as she had tried, frustration had often been the result.
At 37, the businesswoman who sells clothes in Ikeja, the Lagos State capital in western Nigeria, said that she is not finding life easy.
“What is happiness without a man in a woman’s life?”she asked our correspondent during a chat on Badoo, a relationship site on the internet.
She had dated several men with some promising marriage, but without fulfilling the promise.
“You can’t imagine that in the last three years, I have dated about eight men, but the relationship was often short-lived simply because I ask for their commitment.
“I am not getting any younger and I cry every time I see my mates with their husbands and children.
“If at 37 I don’t have a child or a permanent man, when would I have them? Is it when my skin has wrinkled? she asked our correspondent.
Chioma (surname withheld), 35, has found herself patronising many of the social interaction sites on the internet.
The banker told our correspondent that she is on Eskimi, 2go, Badoo, Whatsapp, Facebook, Twitter as well as 4clique, a site that was launched in Nigeria days ago.
“We can’t tell the particular broom in the bunch that kills a fly,” she told P.M.NEWS on why she patronises such number of social interaction sites.
“I always change my name in the different sites but the ultimate goal is to get a husband,” she added.
Chioma told P.M.NEWS that she is really worried about the situation, adding that she lives comfortably (in a mini-flat and has a car), “but who do I have to enjoy this comfort with me?
“I have tried a hook up programme on a Lagos-based radio station, but my age is now a major factor hindering my dream of being married,” she lamented pleading with our married correspondent, who she considered a bachelor, to “help dry my tears.”
A married woman, who gave her name as Mrs. Blessing Aguebor and resident in Oshodi, confirmed that the issue of lack of serious men for marriage is giving many ladies sleepless nights.
She narrated the touching story of her friend who was disappointed by her boyfriend of five years when it was time to “settle down”.
“My friend was 29 when he met this man in Benin and they dated for five years. The man was always giving the lady hope without her knowing the man had other plans. The year he fixed for their marriage was the year he travelled abroad without even informing my friend.
“It was later he called her and asked her to find another man because he still had many more years to hustle. My friend almost went mad.
“She is 36 now without a man. I had to convince her to relocate to Lagos so that possibly out of the population here, she would find someone. It is pathetic,” she said.

Romance › Re: 10 Funny Signs You're An Introvert by paranorman(m): 12:53pm On Aug 31, 2013
ganase2: In this age and time, being an introvert does not seem to be what anyone easily admits to....readily, everyone is trying to prove they have the requisite social skills of an extrovert.

Between, here are funny but real reasons why you just might be an introvert...do read on!

1. You think before you talk and check before you chat
Sort of the right thing to do huh?...You have a consistently running internal monologue that screens every word before it drops from your mouth. Not a fast speaker there...You screen your chats too severally, before you send them...lol.

2. You go to parties -– but not to meet people.
Nooo...you may not necessarily be hanging out alone...but meeting new people is rarely the goal of attending a party. You simply get in your safe harbour- looking out for your friends and hanging out with them.

3. Great speaker, fearful mingler
You may not be shy...infact, you can give a great speech in front of 500 people but mingling with them one-on-one afterwards is a huge problem.

4. You hate idle chatter
You can be in a room with room mates with them discussing on a topic without necessarily making a contribution...you hate small talk not because you hate people but because they seem meaningless to you.

5. You are self conscious
Since you are not doing most of the talking, you are doing most of the observing and hence, assume that everyone is observing you in the same way...judging the way you speak, your accent etc....whereas, they might not necessarily be doing so,

6. You like extreme sitting positions
When you have to sit at a bench, you don't sit in the middle because you don't like being surrounded by people on all sides. In church, you prefer the extreme rows of seats to the middle ones.

7. You dread audience participation
You prefer a talk or a lecture to a discussion or interaction. If you must be involved in the latter, you must have been informed earlier so that you can "compose yourself".

8. You've been accused severally of not keeping in touch
The funny part is that you cannot fathom why someone who called you three days back would call you and say something like; "You have forgotten me abi..."and you're like, "Are we supposed to be talking everyday"?....you also do not like midnight, except its utterly the last resort. For you, it's too much time to waste on "nonsense talk".
You screen all your calls and you may not pick up your phone even from people you like only to call them back as soon as you’re mentally prepared and have gathered the energy for the conversation.

9. You're a Writer
...a good one at that. Or sometimes, a poet. You prefer to put your ideas in writing than to speak them because the former gives you the opportunity to perfectly choose your words and structure your thoughts.

10. Friends made you and not the other way round
Check out the list of your closest and distant friends and you'd realize that they made more efforts at being your friend than you did at the initial stage before you settled into the friendship.

If you can boast of some of these qualities, then check again...against your initial judgement, you just might be an introvert!

[quote author=Okija_juju]Public Schools?!

There is no proper record keeping anywhere.. Not even the Police. When last did you see a 'Lap top' in a Police Station that wasnt 'evidence' in a case?!

To fight corruption, first we need to take a proper inventory of everybody in this country.. Proper record keeping. Proper Birth and Death certificates, biometric data, e.t.c.

How can a government properly pay for the WAEC fees of Students, when you dont even know how many students you have in these schools?!

How can you properly allocate budgets when you dont even know how many people you are catering to?

Just try and investigate this 'Opon Imo' tablet PC being handed out to students in Osun.. You will see how people are making money from the scheme..

Nicknamed "Cat-Boy," doctors in Dahua, southern China recently learned that this boy has the ability to see at night and can read in complete darkness as if it were day.

Doctors have studied Nong Youhui's amazing eyesight when his dad took him to hospital in Dahua, southern China, concerned over his bright blue eyes.

Dad Ling said: "They told me he would grow out of it and that his eyes would stop glowing and turn black like most Chinese people but they never did."

Medical tests conducted in complete darkness show Youhui can read perfectly without any light and sees as clearly as most people do during the day.

According to doctors in Dahua hospital, south of China, Nong Youhui has a rare genetic condition making his eyes vulnerable to light. His parents are still concerned about the case

Foreign Affairs › 'dead' Man Wakes Up, Grabs Bottle Of Water At Own Funeral!! by paranorman(op): 7:00pm On Aug 12, 2013
Onlookers were shocked when a man, who was said to be dead, suddenly got up and grabbed a bottle of water.

The soft drink vendor in China faked his own death in order to sue the government after an altercation withgovernment employees.
But his cover was blown when he became too hot in the Hubei Province, in central China. The heat was too much for him to bear.

The incident occurred around 4:00 pm, when more than 10 men held the “corpse” on a gurney covered with a white sheet near the JianghanRoad subway station in the provincial capital of Wuhan.
The men protested and claimed that the government workers had beatenthe vendor to death and they demanded tens of thousands of yuan in compensation.

More than 300 people gathered at the scene, and 80 police officers were sent to the scene to maintain order.
After two hours of protest, the “dead” man suddenly stood up, grabbed a bottle of water and drank it before saying: “It’s too hot. I cannot take it anymore.”

According to Human Rights Watch, many Chinese cities employ non-criminal law enforcement personnel called chengguan who work independently from police. Their job is to monitor citizens compliance with sanitation, traffic, and environmental laws.
The group is not very popular with the Chinese public after a series of high-profile violent incidents involving chengguan members. In the latest incident, six chengguan members were detained after a fruit seller in Hunan died after the group hit him on the head amid an altercation.

The “dead” man, whose surname is Han, along with two others have, been arrested for disorderly conduct.After being detained, Han told police that chengguan members clashed with vendors early in the day after claiming that their carts were blocking traffic. They told the vendors to leave before confiscating their mineral waters and other beverages.

Celebrities › Chris Brown Suffers Seizure And Refused Treatment!! by paranorman(op): 3:34pm On Aug 10, 2013
Chris Brown allegedly suffered a seizure on Friday in Los Angeles.

The LA Fire Department was called to a Hollywood recording studio early in the morning after receiving a 911 call, according to TMZ.
But when paramedics arrived at Record Plant recording studios, the 24-year-old is said to have refused treatment and declined to be taken to the hospital.

The call was allegedly made at 1:09am from the Hollywood studio.
It is not yet confirmed whether Brown did indeed have a seizure, but according to TMZ the singer did suffer seizures as a child.
Earlier in the day, Brown was seen spraypainting a wall outside a tattoo parlour.

The rapper showed off his multiple arm tattoos in a white vest as he created a large purple monster's face on the parlour's outside wall.
Brown, who was given consent to spraypaintby the tattoo business, was seen meticulouslycreating the mural on his own.
He then hopped into a luxury red convertible after his day of painting.

Meanwhile, Brown told his Twitter followers on Tuesdaythat he is retiring from making music after his sixth studio album X comes out later this month.
In a series of cryptic tweets, Brown seemed to suggest that his desire to quit his career as a singer and performer stemmed from his tumultuous relationship with Rihanna.
The recording artist said on Tuesday that he was 'tired of being famous for a mistake' he made when he was 18, referencing the assault charges filed against him by on-off girlfriend Rihanna in 2009......
Weird refusing treatment if you ask me...
