Omg u r so on point. I used to think this way until happen to live in a different country and realize it's not same story there.

We Nigerians try to make all the We couldn't make in 8 months in 4months hence the madt rush during these periods which the causes accident and Lost of lives

Nigerian police are sooo confused!!!!!! I thought homosexuality is a crime in Nigerian law, init?

The least I expected them to do is take the dudes up to testify as key witness in a crime scene...

Hmmm

Ok

Celebrating Halloween but can't IFA. Funny

Edited:

Since this is the first comment, then let's put the matter in a better perspective.


How could a race be so disconnected with its reality? A fully grown YORUBA lady I engage with about the legend of Moremi does not know anything about it.

Ask same person about Deborah, Hannah, Ruth,Mary etc and your ears will be full of "according to my bible...".

How can a people have a future when they are disconnected with their past and their roots? I have heard people who don't know the names of streets next to theirs in Lagos give vivid description of London streets and they are proud of it! Some funny characters who don't know the names of their next-door-neighbours travel several kilometres to hug and pray in deceitful fraternity with total strangers all in a bid to find elusive peace.

We are happy and foolishly excited when we tell the stories of WANDERERS from their "Holy books" and dismiss with scorn Centuries of a Beautiful Heritage,Proud Traditions and enviable cultures as contained in the African Social Order!

We broke faith with our Ancestors and we are suffering the consequences. The descendants of Cavemen and Wanderers, from the West and the East, have given us enough WILD GEESE to chase forever because we are stupid!

Funny Characters like TB Joshua and Chris Oyakhilome ride us like donkeys in the South and Abubakar Shekau kill us like Goats in the North! Thinking about it now, it is actually a repeat, the very same way their progenitors, the early " missionaries" and "Jihadist" performed some 200years ago when they intruded into the affairs of a people who lived better and were more blessed than their miserable selves!

We are in deep trouble and we are fast heading for deeper troubles unless we are able to STOP & THINK!

If you live in Lagos no doubt you would have heard about Bode Thomas street in Surulere, Lagos.

According to this post, Bode Thomas was a lawyer who died in mysterious circumstance following his altercation with the then Aalafin who then cursed him leading to his death the following day. Enjoy the story.

Bode Thomas was born to a wealthy trader, John Thomas in 1918. He attended C.M.S. Grammar School, a missionary school founded by Samuel Ajayi Crowther. He travelled to London to study Law with Remi Fani-Kayode and Chief FRA Williams. Bode Thomas, FRA William and Remi Fani Kayode founded d 1st indigenous law practice in Nigeria ‘Thomas, Williams and Kayode’. The law firm was in Jankara Street and it thrived. His huge frame earned him the appellation “bulldozer”.

He became a member of Regional House of Assembly in 1951. From there, he, Prest and Akintola were selected as members of the House of Representatives. Sir Adesoji Aderemi, Ooni of Ife also joined them in the Central Council of Ministers. But, Thomas was the leader; astute, workaholic, thoughtful and forward-looking.

On the floor of the House, Thomas was a charismatic speaker. He was a lover of facts. He was a fire brand nationalist. He wanted self-rule and independence at a faster pace his colleagues from other zones could not comprehend.

During the debate on self-rule, his speech infuriated the legislators from the North. Thomas labelled them collaborators in the extension of British rule. He did not only speak; he acted. Thomas and the three AG parliamentarians consequently resigned from the Council of Ministers in protest over the elongation of colonialism. On that note, the MacPherson Constitution collapsed immediately.

In the quest to preserve Lagos as part of the old West, Thomas was also at the forefront. In contrast, H.O. Davies was campaigning vigorously for the retention of Lagos as a symbol of national unity.

At the 1953 London Constitutional Conference held in August, AG vigorously campaigned for the preservation of Lagos as part and parcel of the region. Awo, the AG leader and Thomas, Deputy Leader of the party, were delegates to the conference.

Whenever he set a positive goal for himself,every obstacle on the way must be uprooted.His successes in law practice, politics and government were hinged on his sheer resolve to triumph in the face of all odds.Bode Thomas was a founding member of ACTION GROUP which sprang up from EGBE OMO ODUDUWA.

He was the first Legal Adviser of the group.He was a senior at the bar to the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo, Chief Hezekiah Oladipo Davies, Justice GBA Coker, and Udo Udoma. Bode Thomas and Ahmadu Bello, Premier of the North, were also not the best of friends. I will give you reasons.

Bode defended Ahmadu Bello before the colonial court over allegations of financial embezzlement of Native Authorities funds. Thomas won the case and Ahmadu Bello was freed. But, he was perplexed at the way the Sokoto prince fretted in the court room. Bode Thomas after winning Ahmadu Bello’s case insulted him. He called him names. He saw Bello as unlettered and uncultured. Bello’s unpleasant encounter with Thomas made him conclude that his more qualified educated rivals in the South were pompous and arrogant.

Many believed that Bello was reacting to that complex by refusing to come down to Lagos to serve as Prime Minister but allowed Tafawa Balewa.Thus, while Thomas was universally acknowledged as an accomplished lawyer, he was also perceived as arrogant and supercilious.Bode Thomas was hated by his peers from the North to the extent that Bello always preferred to communicate with Ladoke Akintola to Thomas.

He had endowed Jankara Street, in the heart of Lagos, with visibility when he and his friends, the meticulous Rotimi Williams and the rascally, yet deep and witty Remi Fani-Kayode set up a chamber in partnership in 1950.

Thomas was ahead of them his peers. He was a Senior at the bar to the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo, his bossom friend, political soul mate and leader, Chief Hezekiah Oladipo Davies, Justice GBA Coker, and Udo Udoma, a former federal parliamentarian and jurist.

But, a hot-tempered fellow, he was perceived in some circles as a bully, a successful, yet arrogant lawyer and a domineering figure. Some judges loathed his style of argument in the court. But, he was full of masterful logic.

Judges hated the way he comported himself in court. They saw him as brash and arrogant.T homas died in a controversial circumstance. It was a chain of events that led to his death. According to many accounts, there was a protracted feud between him & Alaafin Adeyemi II, father of the current Alaafin Lamidi Adeyemi III.Both Alaafin Adeyemi and Thomas (Bode Thomas was Balogun of Oyo) were members of the Oyo Divisional Council. At a time, the respected ruler was chairman of the council.

Later, Thomas became the chairman when the Oba was still a member. Then his rudeness to the Alaafin led to his mysterious death.

Thomas arrived at a meeting of the council, all the other councillors, except Oba Adeyemi, stood up to welcome him. He rudely told the king “WHY WERE YOU SITTING WHEN I WALKED IN? WHY CANT YOU SHOW ME RESPECT?” Bode was 34 years. The Alaafin was in his 60s.T he Alaafin felt very insulted. he told Bode “SHEY EMI ON GBO MO BAUN? EMI NI ONGBO BI AJA MO BAUN{ IS IT ME YOU ARE BARKING AT LIKE THAT? IS IT ME YOU ARE BARKING LIKE A DOG AT LIKE THAT? KEEP BARKING.”

That was on 22nd November 1953.  It was reported that Bode Thomas got home and started barking. He barked and barked and barked all night. Then he died. He died on 23 November 1953. He was Balogun of Oyo. He died without fulfilling his many potentials. Bode’s friends went on to reach the peak of their careers. Fani-Kayode died in 1995. FRA Williams went on to be Nigeria’s greatest lawyer. Remi Fani-Kayode died in the early 90s after a successful spell in the Legal Practice and in politics.

So when next you hear about that Popular Street in Surulere called Bode Thomas Street, remember that genius whose arrogance cost him his life… at a very early age.

M

Why am I thinking this was staged? First he spoke and came across as one humble dude, next we see him sitting in a train in London as one commoner. I don't believe in coincidences, sorry

Quote me, obama will continue in the white houuse after the election for one reason or the other.

.

Please somebody correct me if I'm right.

Did anybody read where they wrote that all GMO must be registered? Does that mean GMO products are allowed in Nigeria market so long it's registered?

I bet wailers are busy finding what the price of the jewelry Aisha has on in that pic is so they can have something else to wail about

ItsBolaji:
hmm oga analyst una well done.

Duhh it is called attention to details. It's a key aspect they look out for during interview session in UK.

abbeyty:
joke apart, what benefit do people get from eating too much pepper self?..moderation is the key too much pepper wont even let you enjoy the food. that remind me of my mum then, if you steal meat from my mother's pot there is no need for investigation you have to give yourself up when pepper is blowing your head

Bro, what u call too much pepper could be where my endurance for pepper start. What could be too much for u could be the begining for me. So, too much here is relative

gypsey:
i ve got no idea, you tell me, i was fine after eating the rice, so how was she poisoned by the same food?

Did u read story of Alex Iwobi, the nigerian that plays for Arsenal who was rushed to hospital after eating cat fish pepper soup he shared with one of super eagle team mate?

He was treated for food poisioning. His colleague was ok tho. His system isn't obviously made for such spicy food.

Viisited a Jamaican joint in manchester (chicken runner) with this jamo girl, somehow I noticed a whole pepper somehow looking like ata Rodo lurking in my chicken sauce and consumed it with a single gulp mins leter I feel my whole body was literally on FiRE.

Restaurant manager had to call an ambulance. For the first time I felt what it could be like. To be in hell. Brethren, stay away from Jamaican pepper

HungerBAD:
Laughing.

An interesting tale.

But some things stood out in the narrative,that needs to be pointed out. The topic says girl in the US?but some simple English here is different from the American way of speaking.

In the US nobody uses the word GP. GP(General Practitioner)is how the British call their Doctors. Again,she used the word Flatmate. Americans do not know what flatmate means,they have room mates.

This tells me this might have happened in the UK or Ireland.

U might be right bro. The first pic where the white dude is is a pointer it's in Europe I think

Which peanut

Is this that lawyer lady that live in ibadan?

Can see my prophecy is already coming to past. I already told her she's gonna get a suitor here. Congrats bro and happy married life too

From my investigation this topic was created on the 27th of Sept' and it just so happen to make front page today. Above all, as at the time of my post, I don't think the op is aware her topic has made fp.

Well, be sure to get suitors here. Congrats in advance and happy married life too

nuelzy:
laura ikeji comes to mind....



i mean. this is her sharp opposite...

U know what comes to mind? Linda and Laura Ikeji are so classless.

And that lady up there is one lady full of class.

promisechuks:
Of course, it's the biggest lie ever!

We are no more under the law!

Under the law, tithe is a demand for God's blessing.

But under grace, our faith in christ is the source of our blessings.

Eph 1:3:"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord
Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with ALL SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS in heavenly places in Christ:"

But if I may ask, if what u say is true, why aren't most pastors aware of this? Ie law and grace as stated above?

bigtboi:
bishop of d whole world bishop miyerijesu of Gods grace ministry says d amount nd value of tithe u give determine ur comfort nd d kind of home u get in heaven... d more tithe u pay, d bigger nd exotic ur heavenly home get... Wayasay?

Lol end of discuss.

Some body said and I quote "new testament christian are not obligated to pay tithe"

The statement above resulted from a Facebook post by Mr. Femi Aribisala titled "Robbers of God" which is critical to pastor Adeboye's view on those who don't pay tithe. See below for the his view

Robbers of God
Pastor Adeboye said to members of his Redeemed Church of God:

“Anyone who is not paying his tithe is a God robber and from now on let it be clear; anyone who is not a regular tither cannot be married in the church. Anyone who is not a regular tither cannot be ordained in the church. We will not ordain robbers, nor will the church accept a non-regular tither to build in the sprawling redemption camp because we do not want to dwell with robbers of God.”

"In the view of pastors like Adeboye, the best Christians are those who give the biggest offerings. Therefore, Adeboye even created a “millionaires club” in Redeemed. To be a member, you have to give him one million naira."

Let's continue our python tutorial. Let us look at the if structure today.

Using the if Structure
Branching is a fundamental part of computer programming. It basically means making a decision to take one path or another. Through the if structure, your programs can branch to a section of code or just skip it, all based on how you've set things up.

Let us create a simple program that will ask you for a password & compare the password with a string.

Ready? - Oya, fire

Here is the program code for Password:

# Password
# Demonstrates the if structure
# Alex Dehaini - 13/11/2008

print "Welcome to Combat Jujistu Inc."
print "— where combat training is our middle name\n"

password = raw_input("Enter your access code: "

if password == "jujistu":
    print "Access Granted"

raw_input("\n\nPress the enter key to exit."


Examining the if Structure
The key to program Password is the if structure:

if password == "jujistu":
    print "Access Granted"

The if structure is pretty straightforward. You can probably figure out what's happening just by reading the code. If password is equal to "secret", then "Access Granted" is printed and the program continues to the next statement. But, if it isn't equal to "secret", the program does not print the message and continues directly to the next statement following the if structure.

Using the if-else Structure
Sometimes you'll want your program to "make a choice" based on a condition: do one thing if the condition is true, do something else if it's false. The if-else structure gives you that power.

Here is the code:

# Demonstrates the if-else structure
# Alex Dehaini - 13/11/2008

print "Welcome to Combat Jujistu Inc."
print "— where combat training is our middle name\n"

password = raw_input("Enter your access code: "

if password == "jujistu":
    print "Access Granted"
else:
    print "Access Denied"

raw_input("\n\nPress the enter key to exit."


Examining the else Statement
I only made one change from the first  program. I added an else clause to create an if-else structure:

if password == "jujistu":
    print "Access Granted"
else:
    print "Access Denied"

If the value of password is equal to "secret", the program prints Access Granted, just like before. But now, thanks to the else statement, the program prints Access Denied otherwise.

In an if-else structure, you're guaranteed that exactly one of the code blocks will execute. If the condition is true, then the block immediately following the condition is executed. If the condition is false, then the block immediately after the else is executed.

Alex, I know this is long long ago, but please do u know any where in Lagos I can learn python programming?

alexis:
I haven't done anything with python on the public domain. All my work are internal to the companies I have worked for. But I can share some source code and perhaps start a short tutorial on python

PYTHON TUTORIAL

SETTING UP PYTHON

Setting up or installing python is pretty simple. Go to http://www.python.org/download/ and download the python version for your OS. I reckon most people use windows. Download the Windows installer, once the download is completed, install python as you would install any other windows application.

For other OS users i.e. Linux and MAC - most times python comes installed by default. If not, don't panic - python is a breeze to install. For linux users, it depends on the flavor you are running. For Ubuntu and debian fans, a simple apt-get install python does the trick (You have to be connected the internet). For redhat/centos fans - yum does the trick, i.e yum install python. Again you have to be connected to the Internet.

I rather you compile from source, so download tarball from python website and compile it yourself.

For MAC users, please refer to [url]http://homepages.cwi.nl/~jack/macpython/index.html[/url] for your download and install.

Now, we have have python downloaded and installed, what next? Test to see if python is working. How do you do that. For all ya unix/linux/mac users, fire up your shell/terminal and type python, hit enter. If python is installed correctly, you will enter the python interactive shell. The same works on windows, load your command prompt and type python and press enter; it should load the Python interactive shell.

Now we have python and it's interactive shell working. Oya - clap for yourself  .

I hear you asking, so how do I write a python program - don't worry my dear friend because python programs are just bunch of text files saved with a .py extension. You can use your favorite text editor to write your python program but I recommend notepad++ (http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net) for windows, textmate for MAC (http://macromates.com) or textwrangler (http://www.barebones.com/products/textwrangler/). For linux/unix, there is plain old emacs (http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/).

So let us write our very first python program. We all know the Hello World program you see in most programming books right? Well, let's do something different. We will code python to ask for your name, your age and who was your childhood super hero. Ready?

Guess what - we can write the entire program using just 7 lines of code. So, fire-up your text editor and type in the following and save it as program1.py. Create a folder/directory anywhere on your computer and name it codes, save program1.py in it.

# A Simple program to demonstrate how easy it is to use python
# Alex Dehaini - 10/10/2008

# Get name from user
name = raw_input("What is your name: " #Line 1

# Get user age
age = raw_input("How old are you: " #Line 2

# Ask the user for their favorite childhood super hero
superhero = raw_input("\nWho is your favorite childhood super hero: " #Line 3

# Print output to the users screen

print "Hi, " + name  #Line 4
print "You are", age  #Line 5
print "Your childhood hero", superhero, "is very very strong"  #Line 6

raw_input("\n\nPress enter to exit "  #Line 7

I added several comments and lines but the actual program is just 7 line.


HOW TO RUN THE PROGRAM

Use your command prompt or terminal  - go into your codes folder and type program1.py and hit enter. Enter your name, age and your favorite super hero and watch python answer you.

Don't worry if you don't understand the program for now, I will explain in subsequent post. However, the program is self-explanatory. See if you can make sense out of it.

Enjoy!

Can see you are good with python. Can u help me with tutoring? Wanna learn it

Haha are biafrans up to a million in population? Even when u include all the ewus and dogs that roam the street? Just asking.
