These two though*shipping* the green house confrontation scene broke my heart anf yoo Seun ho's expression killed me..... I guess its better to tell your love ones the truth yourself than for them to hear it from the third party

Exactly. Because the truth can be manipulated by that third party for their own benefit.

nellyalph:
Sorry... not tempting enough! I am not moved by this at allllllll

Ahan. What will now tempt you, ehn? A catfight between Ga Eun and Hwa Gun? Lol.

SlimAdenike:
Sorry.... Just couldn't wait

It is fine jare. That episode 27 was brilliant by the way. I like how they were able to portray Lee Sun's actions as the result of a supposed betrayal rather than just jealousy. So you can't really hate him for what he did.

Atk01:
I'm reading the recaps for the drama, and it's good. In a heartbreaking way. Yeonsangun isn't half as bad here as in Rebel.

That's the same way they rewrote Lady Hee Bin in Jang Ok Jung: Live in Love to make her more a more sympathetic character than history suggests. I guess that's the beauty of dramatizations: one can play ten ten with historical facts in order to tell a compelling story.

Nobody is talking about Queen for 7 Days. Abi is the drama not that good no? Me I'm waiting for it to end before possibly watching it. After Rebel I need a small break from depictions of Yeonsangun's tyranny.

SlimAdenike:
Finally..... Been waiting for her to know its Lee sun behind the mask

Haba. See spoiler ó. Beht why?

#Ruler episodes 25-26

The crown Prince and Lee Sun are both idiots, wrangling over a woman as if she were chattel to be carted away at their whims. Seriously guys, just ask her what she wants and respect her wishes. The two of them are arrogant and selfish, always making plans for her without her input.

Also, Lee Sun is right: the Crown Prince is a coward. Always forming knight in shining armour and yet he cannot come clean with her ad reveal who he really is. Can't wait to see Ga Eun's reaction when she discovers that she has been in love with an alias.

Hwa Gun's character just keeps growing on me. Here is someone who says her mind, who does what she wants to do and accepts the consequences of her actions without complaint. She, unlike that coward of a Crown Prince (Hehe), is the real MVP.

bosslady1991:
Lool. These ministers in My sassy girl are the Joseon knetz. Depose the Princess? Just like that? Because she climbed walls so many times? Judgemental much?

Hehe. To be fair she is an incurable repeat offender and her conduct so far, whatever her reasons, are unbecoming of the royal institution she represents. But of course they weren't clamoring for her deposition out of patriotism.

So who else is into Chinese historical drama? These are the ones I've watched sofar.

1. The Princess Weiyoung. This is the one that started it all for me. Was looking for one Korean drama on Sojuoppa and saw this one. Decided to give the first episode a try and ended up finishing my monthly subscription 25 days early. Good story and cast; bittersweet but realistic ending.

2. Empress of China. About China's only female queen regnant Wu Zeitian from her humble beginnings as a mere concubine. Stuck around the mammoth 74 episodes mostly for the eye candy (Fan Bing Bing and the rest) and the sprawling Tang customes but the story kind of sucked.

3. Empresses in the Palace/Legend of Zhen Huan. Ó boy, this one starring Sun Li is the best Palace drama/harem politics drama I've ever watched bar none. Better than anything comparable the Koreans have been able to come up with. The leads and supporting cast really gave a good account of themselves.

4. Nirvana in Fire. Hehe. I thought nothing could top the amount and depth of scheming in historical dramas like The Great Queen Seondeok and Six Flying Dragons until I watched this one. Jesus. If you will only watch one Chinese historical in your life this is the one to go for.

5. Scarlet Heart. Currently watching this one, the original Chinese version that the Koreans adapted into Moon Lovers. Watching it on the Dramafever App (almost impossible to find any good quality, well-subbed uploads elsewhere) and I must say it focuses more on plot development than the Korean one. Digging the male and female leads.

My Sassy Girl episodes 13-14...... After a lot of episodes of pointless faffing about, s**t just got real.

"depose the Princess! "

Hopefully, they will retain the new serious streak and not go back to the nonsense climbing over walls stuff.

Master of the Mask, the scriptwriter needs serious flogging. So many plot holes and illogical behaviour by the characters. Something major needs to happen soon to salvage that drama. If not for the leads I would have stopped watching since.

bosslady1991:
You know on a normal day, we are supposed to dislike the second female lead because she's always around the male lead and all that. But for some unknown reasons, I don't completely hate her. Infact she's achieved more that others so far and she's genuinely just trying to help the Cp, it's just sad the Cp won't want her. And truly, she has all things to be the queen. But I doubt that's ever going to happen

Yeah, that's the thing with Korean scriptwriters: they're seldom ambitious when it comes to the live triangle thing, especially in Sageuk. The CP will prolly just use her help and then dump her at the end with the excuse he doesn't love her. Nonsense. It would be nice if he slowly develops some feelings, however small, for her too, especially after getting to know how she saved his life all those years ago with that death-faking drug.

vikkytan49:
Her character was described as the one who would put love before family.
Seriously what she's feeling is no longer love but obsessions..

Her character actually reminds me of the motto of House Tully in Game of Thrones: Family. Duty. Honour. For her it is probably Love. Duty. Family. In that order. Seeing as she has little qualms about toppling her father who is her immediate family I think her conflict throughout the series will be between duty (to Pyunsoo Group) and love.

vikkytan49:
I still can't see how hwa goon is written better when she barely appears on screen now..

I have a feeling she might end up as queen to the CP. I'm tired of the unrequited lover always losing out completely at the end and either dying or leaving. Some other ending would be refreshing for a change. And in this case she deserves it seeing as she has the pedigree, connections and intelligence to be queen.

nellyalph:
That's from the queen's perspective, ga eun accepted cos she feels the king is Dal mok's puppet and ' she wants to save the people'... my problem is how is she going to do that? We all know the king is Lee sun and he likes her, what if it was a different person? She is good with herbs, they should have written her to have connection with the poppy field cos I feel that will be the next story line... since the cp is not in the palace, why they go carry her there??

I know everything will fall in place at the end, but Ayam not feeling the process. Their romance no even reach one day, she carry her legs to the palace.

She is going to do that by helping the queen as long as their surface objectives remain the same. It is that simple.

And through helping the queen (and exploiting the favour of the fake king) she will rise through the ranks and slowly build her own power to the point where she will become a force to reckon with in the Palace. In essence the Crown Prince will fight Daemok outside while she will wage war inside the palace

We should not expect that because she is the heroine she will magically have the power to just fight Pyunsoo Group just like that. Even had her father not died she would still have been the powerless daughter of a powerless official. Her going into the Palace is to earn the power to fight those people. Just like the Crown Prince had to spend 5 years earning the backing of the peddlers (and, by implication, the common people) and the merchants, she also has to spend time making alliances. She has chosen the Palace as her battlefront and her war there just started.

Moral of this long sermon: have patience.

I've observed that some of the room inmates from last session still occupy some of the rooms being cleared for new masters students at wing A of Henry Carr. Is there no way to enforce their packing out or something? Tis kinda annoying to move in and see someone else still occupying the place when he ain't your legal co-roomie for the session. And instead of leaving the keys at the porters, they would come and go with it, asking the new peeps to call or text them. Wharisit na? *vexing*

Melcapital:
Thanks bro. I've been able to complete the process

Congrats, Sir. So have I. Ecobank seems to be the only authorized collector.

BJOO:
How mch r u to pay for the bed space..

45.5k

StringAngel:
Then i guess non was allocated yo my department cos I'm yet yo meet a colleague who got allocated.

Weird.

Melcapital:
Good morning sir. I was at First bank to make the payments for my bedspace, but the cashiers said they're yet to receive an order to commence the payment. Please have you made your payments? Kindly guide me.

No o. Friday is the deadline, though. I intend to pay tomorrow. Thanks.

StringAngel:
Are you saying the allocation is by departments?

I believe so. The spgs peeps did state that a certain number of rooms would be set aside for each department, depending on the ratio of students admitted to department/total number of students admitted.

So, when I went online, I guess the slots allocated to MY department hadn't been filled up.

oluwagream:
bro. I had to leave the class to get a good network o. the portal was opened by 10am. As as 10:02 when I started balloting, 89% of d rooms don full. I thank God

Wow. I didn't see the accommodation tab until close to 11 o. I guess the peeps in my department weren't fast enough. It is now I know diaris God *waves Jesus flag*

Mblem:
Pls which bank are we making the payment?

UBA, WEMA, First, Access, Ecobank

mtor:
In the middle of lectures please pay fine .
The way the spaces were occupied was like a miracle
So you have started well done no longer April

Yes o. Turned out the lecturer gave false info. Or perhaps that was his opinion.

Mehn, I tells you. Na digital miracle. I saw room numbers in red, almost 80%, showing those had been occupied. Clicked one of the green ones showing 2 spaces, network was slow, reloaded a few seconds later and 2 don become one! Ehn ehn, I hurriedly clicked whatever green dot my pointer next touched. Who wan die?

Tried for a friend 3 minutes later. No space!

oluwagream:
I secured a bedspace

Hehehehehe. The thing na die o. I secured one too! Was in the middle of a lecture sef. Etisalat's poor network almost ruined my efforts. Chai.

Percentile:
Please house, sm1 shud give a response concerning dis please. I'd love to know too. Thanks.

Of course. You can still defer the admission till next session. However, you'll have to pay tuition fees again when next session comes around. You won't have to pay the obligatory again, though.

kimco:
Why buy a pirated version ( which probably is fake by the sound of it) when u cud jux download it. If u have a bb(rim os 7 downwards) den u cud trying using the unlimited internet service of one of ur service providers (only airtel offer dat in ghana, I don't know about naija, but u shud know) and download from blackbox or downloadha.com etc.

hmmmm! Well, all blackberry plans in Nigeria max out at 3GB. Isn't the size of the game supposed to be more than that? I don't have a good wifi source around.

ugonna1054:

As for your question, just go to settings > controller, then select your pads for controller one and two.

Biko, you guys shhould me please. Bought the pes 15 disc from some roadside peeps sha.

The installation stage didn't complete. Got the error message

"Setup was not completed
Please correct the problem and run setup again
Decompression failed with error code -6"

Please someone in the know should tell me how to go about things. I'm tired of playing pes 13. Gracias.

mtor:
That is why I said within a period. There is a fixed time limit all depts did their exam in jan some entered Feb.
Exam docket portal opens at specific weeks ..
Right now all should have submitted their project and last week was project def.
So no difference. Take note exam date is already ready
Just pray u have time to read if u start April u will write exam when the sch says. Senate has set the calendar and it has been ticking

Anyway whatever happens and whatever they do we will triumph

My department actually had their own project defence in December. I know because I was told by two of them.

Where the shekau is the academic calendar sef? I'm yet to see it. Got any links, Mtor?

mtor:
Everyone writes exam same period, at least within a specific month

Dunno sha. I think there is a bit more flexibility with regards to Masters programmes, especially when contrasted with first degree programmes which are always uniformly streamlined.

StringAngel:
Wao, e long o. Anyway it doesnt matter, we're all graduating 2gether even if exams happen not to be concurrently

Na so my brother. Na so.

StringAngel:
The lecturer must be a comedian

Well, actually, he is pretty much in the know of things. I studied there for my BA so I have a pretty good idea of how 'involved' each lecturer is.
