Chapter 2
Ntombi looked at the five rand coin in her
hand. “What does she think I can buy
with five rand?” she thought. One small
bag of chips at the spaza, and a small
packet of sweets, which she’d have to
share with Zinzi. It wouldn’t buy her
what she really needed – just ten minutes
of time with her mother, when they could
sit down and watch TV together, or talk,
like they used to.
Just then Zinzi came in. She had been
playing soccer in the street and her knee
was grazed and bleeding. “Where’s
Mama?” she asked Ntombi.
“Guess,” said Ntombi. “It’s not that
hard.”
“Zakes?”
“Where else?”
“I thought you had singing practice this
evening?’ said Zinzi as she slumped on
the couch and dabbed at her cut with a
tissue.
“Not any more. Mama said I’ve got to
stay home and look after you.”
“I can look after myself.”
“You’re twelve,” said Ntombi, fetching
the Dettol from the bathroom and dabbing
it on Zinzi’s cut.
“Ouch!” Zinzi complained. “Stop it.
You’re hurting me.”
“Don’t act like a baby. You don’t want it
to get worse, do you? Do you want to go
to hospital with an infected cut?”
“Why are you in such a bad mood?”
“Wouldn’t you be if you were missing a
chance to go to the national finals of
South Africa’s Teen Voice Competition?”
“I thought the judges were only coming
next week?” |

With what money? thought Ntombi, but
she knew if she questioned him out loud,
he would get angry and her mother would
only take his side. She was forever
saying, “Now don’t upset Zakes,” or
“He’s only teasing; don’t be so sensitive,”
or, even worse: “Maybe you should take
his advice. You know he’s a very
successful businessman.” And once when
she was really mad, she shouted at
Ntombi: “He is my boyfriend and you
must respect him. His word is law!”
Their mother had become a stranger.
Ntombi wanted her old mother back.
Even when it was just the three of them it
wasn’t the same. Zakes still messed
things up between them. “What does he
do?” Ntombi asked her mother on one of
the few nights that her mother was home
these days.
But her mother had looked unsure and
started picking at her nail polish. “He’s
in business…” she said uncertainly.
“What kind of business?” Ntombi wasn’t
going to let her mother off the hook so
easily.
“I don’t know. He’s a car dealer, a
sales rep.” Her mother sat up on the
bed, where they had been lying. “Anyway
why all the questions? Are you the
police?” Her mood had changed and she
was glaring at Ntombi. “All I care about
is that he treats me good, and that he’s
got a good job. You’ve seen the way he
dresses, and the car he drives.”
“Mama, you used to tell me those things
didn’t matter. You used to tell me it was
what was inside that mattered. You told
me you married Dad for love…”
“And look where that got me!” her mother
interrupted. “I don’t see him in this room.
Do you?” That was the end of the
conversation. Her mother had got up and
gone through to watch a soapie on TV.
* * *
Ntombi didn’t trust Zakes one bit. He
was a fake through and through. And
what was worse, she didn’t like the way
her mother acted when he was around.
Like she was their older sister, competing
over guys, rather than their mother who
should be looking after them, giving them
good advice, and protecting them from
men like Zakes.
When her dad left a year ago, just after
her fourteenth birthday, her mother was
very sad, but at least they still felt like a
family. They cuddled up on the couch
together and watched Bold, and laughed
and cried together. And then, one day,
Mama came home from the rich private
school where she worked cooking lunches,
and told them she was going out that
evening. The kitchen staff at the school
had persuaded her to join them at
Thabiso’s Tavern and she thought it might
be good for her. Ntombi had helped her
choose an outfit: a nice denim skirt, just
below the knee, a tight black wraparound
top with a white denim jacket. And to top
it off, some gold earrings. Mama looked
great. She had kissed her mother goodbye
and wished her luck. Little did she guess
that that night her mother would meet
Zakes and their lives would be turned
upside down again.
Ntombi knew the first time she saw
Zakes, with his gold chains and flash
smile that didn’t reach his eyes, that he
would bring nothing but trouble. Even his
car looked like a fake. It had been
resprayed and that could mean one of two
things: he had been in an accident, or the
car was stolen. Things felt wrong when
Zakes was in the house. He seemed too
big for their small couch, sitting there
with his beer, interrupting their
conversations with his loud voice. He
loved to say things like, “Girls, you are
my daughters now. Go fetch another beer
for your father.”
“Do as he says,” their mother would add
if they hesitated, as she cuddled closer to
her new boyfriend. There was no time for
Ntombi or Zinzi when Zakes was around.
* * *
“Here.” Her mother handed Ntombi a
five rand coin from her new gold bag.
She smelled of some strong perfume
Zakes had bought her. “Buy yourself
some sweets at the shop,” she said as she
rushed out, putting on lipstick as she
went.
“Mama, I’m meant to be at singing
practice. The competition is next week
and…” But her mother was already out
of the door and in the seat of Zakes’
resprayed BMW with its fluffy dice
bouncing from the rearview mirror and
couldn’t hear her. All she could do was
watch as Zakes reversed with a squeal of
tyres, and then they were gone. |

I do hope you enjoy it...
Chapter 1
“Ntombi, I’m going out.”
“Mama, you can’t. It’s the third time this
week and I’ve got …” But before Ntombi
could finish her sentence her mother was
already giving her a list of things to do
while she was at Thabiso’s Tavern.
“There’s some money left for you and
Zinzi. Make sure Zinzi does her
homework – and don’t let her stay up too
late! How do I look?” She did a twirl in
the middle of the living room. Ntombi
looked at the silver top and new jeans her
mother was wearing and her heart sank.
They were yet another gift from her
mother’s new boyfriend, Zakes. Every
time he went out with her mother he gave
her something – but there was never
enough money left over to buy something
for her or her sister. He never had
anything for them except for his unwanted
‘words of advice’. Words that made
Ntombi want to throw something at him.
Cruel, mean, words.
“You girls will never get boyfriends
looking like that. Why don’t you do
something to your hair? You look like
village moegoes. No, what you need is to
go to the hairdresser, get some braids.” |

Science/Technology › Re: The Colossal Black Holes (stars, Their Death,and passages to other universe) by phensbassey: 8:51am On Sep 13, 2016 |
butterfly88:
..colossal? What's colossal about black holes sef? BLACK holes have recently seized the public's imagination. Books and documentaries (but fictional and otherwise) have been devoted to exploring this strange prediction of Einstein's equations,as is evident here on nairaland too, a lot of topics have been seen which attempts to decipher this......I don't know,just fill it your self , the final stage in the death of a collapsed star. Ironically, the public remains largely unaware of perhaps the most peculiar feature of black holes, that they may be gateways to an alternative universe..yes gateways ...be patient will get there in time
Well that is that about that...in summary I just want to contribute my own nonsense about black holes...
Enjoy the movie
To understand black holes, we must first understand what makes the stars shine, how they grow, and how they eventually die
So let's explore the charming stars
A star is born when a massive cloud of hydrogen gas many times the size of our solar system is slowly compressed by the force of gravity. The gravitational force compressing the gas gradually heats up the gas, as gravitational energy is converted into the kinetic energy of the hydrogen atoms. Normally, the repulsive charge of the protons within the hydrogen gas is sufficient to keep them apart. But at a certain point, when the temperature rises to 10 to 100 million°K, the kinetic energy of the protons (which are hydrogen nuclei) overcomes their electrostatic repulsion, and they slam into one another. The nuclear force then takes over from the electromagnetic force, and the two hydrogen nuclei "fuse" into helium, releasing vast quantities of energy
In summary- a star star is a nuclear furnace, burning hydrogen fuel and creating nuclear "ash" in the form of waste helium. A star is also a delicate balancing act between the force of gravity, which tends to crush the star into oblivion, and the nuclear force, which tends to blow the star apart with the force of trillions of hydrogen bombs. A star then matures and ages as it exhausts its nuclear fuel
Our sun is an ordinary yellow star, consisting mainly of hydrogen. Like the original Big Bang, it fuses hydrogen and forms helium. However, because the protons in hydrogen weigh more than the protons in helium, there is an excess of mass, which is converted into energy via Einstein's E = mc^2 formula. [b]This energy is what binds the nuclei together. This is also the energy released when hydrogen is fused into helium. This is why the sun shines
However, as the hydrogen is slowly used up over several billion years, a yellow star eventually builds up too much waste helium, and its nuclear furnace shuts off. When that happens, gravity eventually takes over and crushes the star. As temperatures soar, the star soon becomes hot enough to burn waste helium and convert it into the other elements, like lithium and carbon.. In other words, it is still possible to burn waste helium (in the same way that ordinary ash can still be burned under certain conditions). Although the star has decreased enormously in size, its temperature is quite high, and its atmosphere expands greatly in size. In fact, when our own sun exhausts its hydrogen supply and starts to burn helium, its atmosphere may extend out to the orbit of Mars. This is what is called a red giant
See picture 1 and 2 for the beautiful red gaint
Wow...after the red gaint what's next ??
Finally, when the helium is used up, the nuclear furnace again shuts down, and gravity takes over to crush the star. The red giant shrinks to become a white dwarf a miniature star with the mass of an entire star squeezed down to about the size of the planet earth.
Imagine what a white dwarf will look like 
See picture 3 and 4. For what they look like
Let take a short break..the movie continues shortly you're always on point..op |

Well I recently started this series. I downloaded it a long time ago but had no time to watch it. I started watching last month. Currently in Season 2. Since I didn't see any fan page and I know lots of Nlander watch it, I decided to open a fan page. It's an action, sci-fi, drama. Am totally enjoying the twists in the show. Ward working for HYDRA, Bobby and Mack working for the other SHIELD, Sky's mother being alive and all etc season 3 will be out next month |

dainformant: Amb Dion Osagie, a Nigerian entrepreneur and humanitarian activist who is based in the United States has reacted to the postponement of the governorship elections in Edo state. The Independent National Electoral Commission agreed to shift the Edo State governorship election by two weeks. The election had earlier been scheduled for Saturday September 10, 2016.
The Edo state indigene (Amb Dion Osagie) who has always lambasted politicians for their policies -took to his Facebook page to post the below;
I decided to eat ISIEWU and cold Heineken for lunch when I heard Edo election has been postponed base on matter on ground. I think this will be an advantage to the PDP! I have said it before and over and over again. They don't really care about us!!
Let me finish my Isiewu before they postpone it. Like they postpone Edo election without considering people who have already made plans to come home to vote.
It is a shame that INEC Nigeria can not do the needful with all the time had for planning. What a shameless leaders and citizens who continue to let them have their way. Letting them treat us the way they want. Let's stop being a fool because power belong to the people.
