damn

wtf, Murray threw away that game

I really think he's going to win it this time.

Murray!!!!

Murray! 2-0

Murray! 1-0

Break point

A-40:
If this game goes to a 5th set! Forgerrrrit! Djoker has won

The good thing is Murray is fighting! He has no choice really

I still remember the epic Australian Open final that Murray lost to Federer. He kept on fighting till the last second of the match and I think it'll be similar here - even if he loses it'll still be very close. But I really hope he actually wins.

Damn. . .5th set

This game is amazing. I hope Murray can pull through and win eventually, even if it goes to a fifth set.

@ jaysee, your friend should really see an expert art historian (a museum curator, a professor of art history (African), etc.) to ascertain the background of that leopard. Sorry but I can't really be of any help. I'm not sure anyone else here can help either because to the best of my knowledge, art historians don't really visit this site.

whoa

This woman is chubby and extremely average looking but fools are hyping her up because she's pale. Nigerians are fukking brainwashed, with a severe color complex. This thread is disgusting.

ArQueBusieR: I can't believe I'm doing this:
Katy Perry
Alicia Keys
Robert Kelly
Dido
Adele
Shakira
Taylor Swift
Kelly Clarkson
Lily Allen
Lady Gaga
Vanessa Carlton
Elton John
Nelly Furtado
Avril Lavigne
Matt Kearney
Shania Twain
Usher
Björk (wacko)
Norah Jones
James Blunt
Leona Lewis
Christina Aguilera
Tracy Chapman
Bruno Mars
Kylie Minogue
Jon Bon Jovi
Justin Timberlake, et cetera...

lol, this has to be the shittiest list ever put forward to support a point/argument.

Jon Bon Jovi is a mediocre/ordinary singer even if his band is accomplished and has some classic songs. The only respectable names there are Elton John, Tracy Chapman, Robert Kelly (R. Kelly), Alicia Keys, and Norah Jones in terms of challenging/original songs and songwriting. The rest of them are nothing special and won't be remembered a few decades from now.

It depends on the quality of music that one is talking about.

Simplistic pop songs which people like Justin Bieber or some of these current pop rock singers churn out constantly can't possibly be compared to the best rap songs in terms of difficulty. The flow, rhythm and delivery, creativity, and complexity in one Rakim verse alone is more difficult to produce than most pop songs. In fact it would only take a few rap albums like Only Built for Cuban Linx, 4 5 6, Capital Punishment, 36 chambers, Supreme Clientele, It Was Written and Reasonable Doubt just to outdo most 90s-2000s pop songs, country songs, and even most R&B in terms of the difficulty in creating it.

But the same thing holds true for singers. You can't compare the best of Donny Hathaway, Sam Cooke, Stevie Wonder, Pavarotti, etc. with simplistic rap from clowns like Gucci Mane, Waka Flocka, Flo Rida, Dipset, etc.

What were these leaders expecting when GEJ got into power beyond what he's already done? Extra special treatment even when the "South South" wasn't the only area that voted for him? This group (SSPA) is embarrassing themselves and GEJ and I think more "South South" people should come out and make it clear that we aren't demanding favoritism. Also, I'm not sure Odigie-Oyegun qualifies as a "leader" in the south south. I think his time has come and gone and he should retire from politics.

musiwa7: Because I use the internet does not mean, I dont know anything. this is obama in rain. video

You are talking to someone who can determine who becomes the governor of a state.. even in lagos. not to talk of the rest of nigeria.. Because i have to be humble because the word of God require me to be humble. and I have to come down even to a child level.. without this noman will enter heaven.


Even a Councillor in nigeria will not enter into a rain because of pride.

Hail Musiwa, commander in chief of Canada, the USA, UK, Benin Republic, and the Batu Republic!

Is "jara" Farouk Martins Aresa's cousin? Or just a loyal fan?

And the descent into madness continues. . .

Wtf. . .so many losers and shady people involved.

It would have been better if more credible people were bidding instead. . .
