if U were my dog, I would shave your butt and teach you how to walk backwards coz you are no more intelligent than a labrador.
What a hot mess!! Like you just had brain tumour for dinner, talking like you have been possessed by the retarded ghosts of your miserable parents.
Funny !diot, I guess you see yourself as the leader of a baconian alliance of good-for-nothing tribal bigots that bask in ignorance and unneccessary combativeness.
You can concoct any spurious scenerio in your feverish mind, who cares about what a bona fide morøn thinks as long as it remains in the confines of your confused mental state. I will continue to address you and your ilks like a dog so you can keep barking your worthless diatribes. . LoL. . You are better off cursing the disgrace of a parent that birthed you than making any mediocre attempt at trying to sound smarter than you realy are. And you had better not stop ranting about igbo people cos if you stop, Amadioha will impregnate your mother with a quadruplet of autistic babies and strike your useless father with alzhemier's disease. I don't ve to curse any yoruba person to make a minced meat out of you, fools such as you make the world full of ill-favoured men.

Apparently, your brains did not grow in accordance with your shoe size, you ve got shiitz for brain, you will do better in confinement where you can only hurt yourself. One thing I know for a fact is that shitbricks like you should be cast into oblivion, you are a menace to any decent clime, don't get edgy becoz I wont engage you, I ve got more than good reasons to spare you any mental torture. I don't want to be the reason that your shitty brains further degenerates. I can imagine what your miserable parents feel having a genitic garbage like you for a child. Am very sure that even if you drop dead now your miserable parent will heave a heavy sigh of relief and contentment, be sure the world wont stop and I will remain the Okoro you love to hate. Now jerk off and eat shiit, FOOL!!

Am not going to indulge your buffoonery and jejune arguements. Any intelligent person would understand my line of arguement, am not here to engage small minds. If you want to talk about issues of crime and their solution I could give you a shot but if you want to make wide guesses, uneccessary tribal slurs and throw childish temper tantrums then I say bounce kiddo, am so not into that shiit.
I don't suscribe to ignorant remarks that ve no basis. Who are you to put a blanket condemnation on a tribe because of the sins of a few? If you want to get so brazen in the mouth without any restraints whatsoever, may be you should start with your own thieving brothers, start from inside.
Dont just talk like a Møron becoz renown tribal bigots like bbk/baby ve made it a fancy to talk shiits.

Bunch of blathering BOZOs mouthing off again without the aids of their brains.
I bet the arguement would not ve taken this kind of diversionary descent to bigotry and tribalism if the Okonkwo guy was Yoruba or some other tribes. Abeg it is high time you lots (bbk/shiitbrain and co) stayed off topics that require too much brain work coz they just blab their inadequacies and blather utter hokum in frustration to protest their little-mindedness as if it was anyone's fault. Geezzz! If you feel like venting, go and drink cyanide or overdoze yourself with Valium, just do your shiit in the seclusion of your misery and stop this misplaced venting of anger and hate.
Okonkwo had been successful with his crime until hitherto coz he had had the support of not just the police but the locals and the local authorities who mostly are not igbos. It is just plain pettiness for some clueless kids to equate the issue to some stupid repugnant whirlwind of tribal buffeting.
Fact is, anyone could ve given in to such prospects of making easy money without hassle or stress.
How many of you nairalanders "acting all holier than thou" will hesitate to do thesame as Okonkwo if you noticed that NNPC pipelines run underneath your backyard?? This is a crime very many Nigerians indulge in on daily basis. Afterall, we have had situations in Lagos where there was an oil pipeline leak and yet ppl brazenly run to such pipes with their siphoning kits to scoop their own quantity of the leaking oil with giving a hoot to the dangers of doing such. A majority of those people were not igbos, so why does it always turn into something else when an igbo name is mentioned? Abi igbo names give jerks like Bbk/baby a kick in the butt or is it just a case of paranoia? If igbo names give you heebie-jeebies, why not save yourself a needless nervous breakdown catastrophe and just stick to your shiitz, trust me, nobody will miss you guyz.

As far as I am concerned, that woman has not given us and her husband the full gist of her "immaculate conception" coz as far as science goes, what happened to her is remotely and impossible. She has got no white genes ancestory, so where the heck did she concieve of a white baby that only looks like her but looks nothing like her supposed Dad. Yeah yeah, the man might want to save face and just claim to be cool with the stuff, you know the PR shiit but he can't deny he has doubts or wont later in future want to ask questions or even ask for her DNA. Well, time they say, clears all doubts.

Politics › Yahoo Boys Keep Cybercafes Afloat by rhymz(op): 6:54am On Jul 12, 2010
Some cyber cafes are surviving due to the activities of the 'Yahoo Boys'. Photo: REUTERS ‘Yahoo boys' keep some Lagos cybercafes afloat By Chinedu Ozordi July 10 , 2010 11 :24 PM After a few false starts, Azubuike Ejiogu finally retired from cyber fraud; but not before making sure that his last scam paid a handsome pension of $12 ,500. With the money, the 32- year-old 2002 Chemistry graduate of Imo State University decided to become a legitimate entrepreneur. He bought a struggling cyber cafe off its relieved owner at Okokomaiko, a suburb of Lagos, and plunged into business. "My siblings were all against my decision because they were arguing that cyber cafe business is no longer lucrative," he said. "But I told them to just watch me and see how things will be. I have practically been living in cyber cafes, from Owerri to Lagos, for over five years, and I think I know how to run one profitably. I know what to do." His siblings were justifiably concerned, considering the dearth of the cyber cafe industry in Lagos. A snap survey conducted in selected areas of the metropolis revealed that a lot of cyber cafes were closing shop, while most barely hung on by offering skeletal services. The vanishing cafes The proliferation of smart phones, cheaper laptops and Internet packages from telecom companies, bandwidth problems, diesel costs, and maintenance costs are some of the reasons that owners attributed to the death of some of these cyber cafes in Lagos. "My biggest problem was power," said Onyeka Nwelue, who recently closed her cyber cafe at Surulere. " Every day you buy at least N2000 ( worth of) diesel, and maybe only six people will come in that day and spend an hour each. At times, I couldn't even make N10 ,000 in a week." Despite the gloomy outlook, Mr Ejiogu remains confident because he has an ace up his sleeve. "I am going to call all my friends who are ‘Yahoo boys' to come and start patronising me because I will offer them security, and they will be comfortable operating in my cafe," he said. "Already, eight of them have promised to be coming all the way from Igando to that place to work. Of course people like students coming to apply for exams, and (job) applicants will also be there." ‘They keep us alive' His enthusiasm of retaining scammers on top of his clientele list underscores the fact that Internet fraudsters, popularly known as Yahoo boys in local parlance, have kept a significant percentage of Lagos cyber cafes alive with their patronage. Most of the cyber operators were reluctant to admit that the scammers constituted the greater part of their clientele. However, Okechukwu Obiwuru, a Surulere- based cyber cafe manager, admitted that he frequently toys with the idea of closing shop, "If not for the fact that there are four boys who usually buy bulk time ( flat monthly subscription), and at times I just start the generator for them when I consider how much they have paid for that month," he said. The owner of another Surulere- based cyber cafe, which closed shop early this year, and who gave his name as Olatunji, acknowledged that the ‘Yahoo boys' were his major customers before he closed shop. "Apart from during exam periods, when students will be coming to fill ( online) forms, or when people come to apply for (American visa) lottery, the business is dry, and it is only those boys that will be coming," he said. "But after police raided my place, most of them stopped, and even me, I got tired of the business." Long arm of the law The Deputy Head of the Cyber Crime Unit of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission ( EFCC) Lagos Office, Chukwunonso Okoro, stated that the anti-graft agency was constantly revising its strategy in its effort to rid our nation of the scammers. He also confirmed that the intermittent raids on cyber cafes have scared away fraudsters from Lagos cyber cafes. "To catch a thief, you must be a thief, so we are continuously undergoing training and retraining on the new methods and the workings of the minds of these fraudsters," he said during a Crime Prevention Summit organised by The African Youth Initiative on Crime Prevention at the University of Lagos, last November. "We are also collaborating with ISPs (Internet Service Providers) who must now register with EFCC before operating. When we identify IP addresses that were used in Internet crimes, we block it if it is a Nigerian address; if it is foreign, we write to the FBI ( Federal Bureau of Investigation) and they block it. Various specialised units have been set up in the EFCC to deal with the various new forms of cyber crime. We also ensure that money recovered from the fraudsters is given back to the victims." If this information fazes Mr Ejiogu, he doesn't show it. He has swiftly swung into action to revive his cyber cafe by giving the place a face-lift and hiring two workers. "I know it won't be easy because even some of those my friends are buying laptops and avoiding cyber cafes, but I am optimistic that it will work because I will also do stuff like photocopies and scanning of documents," he said. "All I know is that I won't join those people looking for work."

[size=14pt]New attacks on Christians in Kaduna state [/size] 
Posted: Sunday, July 11, 2010 12:57 pm

At least seven people, including a mother of six, have been killed by Islamic militants in Nigeria's Kaduna state just four months after attacks left more than 500 dead in neighbouring Plateau.

The charity Release International, which serves persecuted Christians around the world, is calling on the new Nigerian president to ensure greater protection for vulnerable Christians of all denominations in the country.

Partners of Release say that armed men in military uniform shot dead seven Christians in Kizachi Dawai Chawai, Kaduna state, on July 3.

The gunmen surrounded the village at about 8.30pm and began shooting indiscriminately. The dead included a primary school teacher and a mother of six. Five others were taken to hospital with gunshot wounds.

The following day, assailants wielding guns and machetes attacked Ganawuri, a village near Jos, in neighbouring Plateau state. The Jos area was the scene of brutal violence against Christians in March which left 520 people dead, including many women and children.

Release sources say that the gunmen in both these latest raids were suspected Fulani militants from Kaduna.

These same sources now accuse the Nigerian military of not doing enough to protect vulnerable Christian communities. One source reports that police had withdrawn from Kizachi Dawai Chawai the day before the attack, because the government had allegedly failed to pay their salaries.

Release CEO Andy Dipper, who is currently on a fact-finding trip in Nigeria, said: "We're appalled to hear of yet more violence against Christians, who have been warning for some time now that they feared further attacks.

"We appeal to President Goodluck Jonathan and his administration to take firm action now to ensure that the military and police carry out their full responsibilities and protect Christians properly. We acknowledge it is a huge task - but enough is enough."

President Jonathan, who is from the mainly Christian south of Nigeria, was officially sworn into office in May, after the death of the previous incumbent, Umaru Yar'Adua.

Plateau is located in the centre of the country between the largely Muslim north and the south. Along with religious tensions, tribal and political differences have seen an increasing polarisation between different ethnic groups there.

Kaduna, just north of Plateau, has also been a flashpoint for conflict between Christians and Muslims, most notably during the 'Miss World riots' in 2002 when a newspaper's alleged blasphemy against Islam's prophet Mohammed sparked widespread violence against Christians.

Release's Andy Dipper urged Christians in the UK and Ireland to stand with the church in central and northern Nigeria. "Christians in Plateau and Kaduna are standing firm despite intolerable persecution - but they desperately need our prayers.

"And let's pray too for strength and wisdom for those in authority, including President Jonathan, so they can find a lasting solution to end this cycle of violence."

Politics › Foreign Rating Agencies Shun Nigerian Banks by rhymz(op): 8:02am On Jul 08, 2010
h
Foreign rating agencies shun
Nigerian banks
By Stanley Oronsaye
July 7, 2010 02:12AM
print email S
Rating agencies have scaled down
their rating of Nigerian banks,
unlike the period between 2005
and 2009 when several rating
agencies were over themselves in
rating the banks.
Global rating agencies like Standard
and Poor's (S&P), Global Credit
Rating Co. (GCR), Fitch, and many
other local rating firms were in the
forefront of rating Nigerian banks.
This was at a time when many
Nigerian banks were expanding
their global reach, as well as raising
funds from the local and
international capital market.
For instance, as at July 2006, nine
Nigerian banks were ranked among
the top 1,000 banks in the world, in
a listing done by The Banker
Magazine.
Suspended ratings
Since last year, many of the rating
agencies do not have recent rating
data on Nigerian banks. Of the lot,
only S&P still maintains a rating of
the Nigerian banking industry, with
its latest rating information
released in June.
It only just released ratings
information on Zenith Bank, First
Bank, and Guaranty Trust Bank. The
rating agency stated recently that
it had suspended the rating of
Intercontinental Bank since 1
December, 2009.
"The withdrawal is due to a lack of
sufficient information from the
bank to enable us to maintain
surveillance of the ratings," the firm
stated, noting that there is a sharp
deterioration in Intercontinental
Bank Plc's financial condition due to
very high levels of non-performing
loans.
Efforts to speak with Lawrence
Ndukwe, manager, corporate
communications of the bank, were
unsuccessful as he did not pick his
calls and did not respond to text
messages.
Risky banking system
S&P recently released a report that
the Nigerian banking industry is still
risky, despite the bailout by the
Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
John Gibling, managing director,
financial institutions at the agency,
said, "The Nigerian banking system
is very high risk. The ratings we
have for the banks are in the single
B category; it's a very low level
compared to most banks in the
world. We continue to see the
Nigerian banking system as very
high risk. In regulatory reform,
there is still a long way to go."
Bisi Ajiboye, head of West Africa
regional office of GCR in Lagos, said
rating agencies can only work with
up-to-date financial information.
According to him, the regulatory
requirements that financial reports
have to be approved first before
publication has made it difficult for
rating agencies to access latest
financial reports of companies
when needed until they are
approved by the Central Bank,
Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC), or the National
Insurance Commission NAICOM).
"It will be a misrepresentation to
say that rating agencies are rating
only a few Nigerian banks. For
instance, Fidelity Bank just released
its 2009 result today 6 July. I do
not want to say what is responsible
for the delay, but rating agencies
can only work on available
information," Mr. Ajiboye said.
He faulted the claim by S&P that
the Nigerian banking industry was
still risky. "Yes, there are elements
of risk; there are so many things
that are still not clear. We have our
own suspicion, but the foreign
rating agencies are not based here,
so they cannot have good
knowledge of the Nigerian
situation. The general statement by
S&P should not be taken in finality,"
he said.
Politics › Panic In Abuja As Niger Delta Militants Storm Abuja by rhymz(op): 7:30am On Jul 08, 2010
Panic In Abuja As Niger Delta
Militants Storm Abuja
Written by SaharaReporters, New
York
Wednesday, 07 July 2010 07:18
Niger Delta
militants
protesting
lack of
payment of
their
"amnesty"
allowances
have
blocked the
major
highway
linking
Nigeria's
capital,
Abuja, with
Lokoja.
That cuts
off the
major artery to the south of the
country. The militants are
protesting against the handling of
their allowances by the
Presidential adviser handling the
matter of re-integrating the
militants, Mr. Timi Alaibe. Reports
from Abuja residents claim that the
highway was blocked on the Abaji-
Gwagwalada end of the road.
Thousands of commuters are
stranded as a result of the action.
Saharareporters learnt that about
1,000 militants arriving from
Bayelsa State stormed Abuja early
this morning with the aim of taking
their protest to the presidency but
were confronted by soldiers at
Gwagwalada, on the outskirts of
Abuja.
Last week in Cross River state, Mr.
Alaibe was rough-handled by the
militants at the "peace training ”
camp in Obubra, near Calabar, over
the same issues.
Mr. Alaibe, who is known to have
amassed a vast fortune during his
headship of the Niger Delta
Development Commission, was
accused of embezzling funds
meant for militants who
voluntarily accepted government
Amnesty last year.
The militants claim that instead of
paying them monetary allowances
for resettlement, Mr. Alaibe
brought in expatriates to teach
them "peace."
Reports from Abuja say that Alaibe
has accused the Governor of
Bayelsa State, Timi Sylva, of being
the brain behind the militants ’
action to storm Abuja today,
thereby creating panic. Both Alaibe
and Sylva are eyeing the
governorship of the oil-rich
Bayelsa State and have been
locked in a battle of wits.
Saharareporters sources said that
the leaders of the rampaging
militants are meeting with
government officials to discuss
their grievances while the rest are
hanging around the blockade area
in anticipation of further protests.
But the security nightmare in
Abuja may not be over as words
have come from some core
northern states that Islamic
fundamentalists also plan to storm
Abuja to welcome the Iranian
president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad,
who is expected to visit Nigeria as
part of the D-8 conference of
developing nations.
Politics › Jonathan's Lever Problem: How Severe by rhymz(op): 7:23am On Jul 08, 2010
Jonathan’s Liver Problem: How
Severe?
Written by Adepoju Paul
Olusegun
Tuesday, 06 July 2010 21:53
In medical laboratory science, the
liver function test is a panel of
tests that is used to assess the
functioning capacity of the liver.
Considering the liver ’s central role
in several body functions,
regulations, synthesis and
homeostasis, it becomes
imperative for its function to be
assessed every now and then to
facilitate early detection of any
aberration that might spell doom
with poor prognosis if diagnosed
later. While this is true in medical
science, the principle also holds
sway in governance. In colloquial
Nigerian lexicons, ‘liver’ could be
used to describe confidence,
assurance, strength and boldness.
Hence when someone says “you
don’t have liver” he or she is
subjecting your self confidence to
question.
In politics and governance, it’s an
open secret that good
administrators and leaders, apart
from being good listeners, are also
individuals with big ego. Their
confidence holds sway, and their
dexterity gives followers the
confidence to keep following. US
President Barack Obama is a living
example of such.
At every forum where his
authority is subjected to extensive
criticism, his confidence always
bails him out. Even past leaders
that possess a rare blend of
eloquence and authority also
enjoy such devoted followership,
even when wrong decisions are
made. However, in President
Jonathan ’s case, same could not be
entirely said.
Like a pendulum in motion,
swinging to and fro, Mr. President’s
recent decision to rescind on his
former position speaks more of
confusion than respect for
Nigerians ’ opinions. The signs were
everywhere that the ban was
unnecessary and was seen in
some quarters as an abuse of
power. Yet he made the decision.
And as the Commander-in-Chief,
Nigerians trusted his instinct. But
going back on his previous step
makes me question his
Excellency ’s stance when tougher
issues are tabled.
Obama went after George Bush’s
jugular during the campaigns by
promising to bring back all
American soldiers in Iraq, and
Afghanistan only to get to the
Oval office and approve that more
troupes should be deployed. That
is like going back on his previous
stance when campaigning. Though
criticized at the outset, Americans
later got used to the fact that
lasting peace in the Middle East,
especially in Afghanistan and Iraq,
could ensure Americans’ safety.
Obama’s health reform bill is
another show of strength that he
has a perfectly functioning liver.
Criticized severally by the
Republicans and a handful
Democrats, Obama ’s health reform
bill at the outset looked as if it
won ’t see the light of the day. It
compelled the president to hit the
streets- going from Texas to
Houston, through New York
campaigning not for votes, but for
Americans to support the bill that
several Congressmen were
throwing punches at.
Political analysts saw Obama’s
plight as a test of his authority and
he proved that he was (and still is)
in charge by not withdrawing his
bill.
Hence I would like to ask Mr.
President a simple question- why
going back on your word,
especially one that was issued with
such confidence?
It’s supposedly becoming
gradually evident that it’s either
Mr. President is not getting the
right information, or making
decisions without extensive
consultations and evaluations of
the possible outcomes. Even our
national thugs in the National
Assembly know that banning
Nigeria from international football
would be a huge mistake. Why did
it take Mr. President more than 48
hours to realize this? What if it was
a war decision when a country
could be leveled in 12 hours with
nuclear weapons? Will he be
swinging back and forth like this?
Governance is expected to be
manned by men (and women)
with great ability to make the right
decisions with careful consideration
because national security depends
on their intellectual capacity.
Although we are almost 50 years
as a nation, the thinking processes
of our various governments
present us as toddlers in
democracy. They need to realize
that oscillation experiments are
meant for physics laboratories and
not government ’s situation rooms.
President Jonathan’s recent action,
although it’s a right one, brings the
roles of the various advisers under
sharp criticism. These are
individuals who are expected to be
giving the president accurate up-
to-date details on the situation of
things. They ought to be Nigeria ’s
thinking boxes that are worthy to
be studied as geniuses in our
various ivory towers. However,
like most Nigerians, I ’m suspecting
that they are possibly more or less
of political jobbers constituting
nuisance in our corridors of power.
Some things might be acceptable
on a personal ground, but are quite
ludicrous and phenomenally
absurd when they are associated
with a nation. Let ’s consider the
national embarrassment we are
now getting on the international
scene.
Newspapers, websites and foreign
correspondents are now running to
press with Jonathan ’s change of
heart. Sepp Blatter and his crew at
FIFA would crack jokes over our
national confusion. And Ghana and
other serious African countries
would take the shine off Nigeria
for presenting themselves as well
organized countries with reliable
individuals at the helm of affairs.
Furthermore, why did it take
Jonathan this long to ransack and
sack NFF corrupt chieftains when
all and sundry knows about the
cantankerous corruption in the
Glass House? Why didn ’t the
Presidential Task Force saddled
with revamping the national team
give Mr. President sufficient report
on the mismanagement of our 900
million Naira and what happened
to inter-agency incorporation that
enables every sphere of
government to report to the
presidency? Is it that the
government is so disjointed, in
disarray and not in touch with the
voices on the streets? Or was
Jonathan just taking decisions on
his own?
To all Nigerians, there is need for
us to reposition ourselves as the
real barometer that analyzes the
pressures around us since Aso Rock
is very far from us both
geographically and ideologically.
Let the congratulations over the
rescinded decision be short lived in
order to contend with the reality
that stares us which is Jonathan no
get liver.
I hope the President’s advisers
realize their mistakes. Nigerians
need them to always help Mr.
President make the right decisions
every time. If they can ’t, then we
are in trouble.

troupes should be deployed. That
is like going back on his previous
stance when campaigning. Though
criticized at the outset, Americans
later got used to the fact that
lasting peace in the Middle East,
especially in Afghanistan and Iraq,
could ensure Americans’ safety.
Obama’s health reform bill is
another show of strength that he
has a perfectly functioning liver.
Criticized severally by the
Republicans and a handful
Democrats, Obama ’s health reform
bill at the outset looked as if it
won ’t see the light of the day. It
compelled the president to hit the
streets- going from Texas to
Houston, through New York
campaigning not for votes, but for
Americans to support the bill that
several Congressmen were
throwing punches at.
Political analysts saw Obama’s
plight as a test of his authority and
he proved that he was (and still is)
in charge by not withdrawing his
bill.
Hence I would like to ask Mr.
President a simple question- why
going back on your word,
especially one that was issued with
such confidence?
It’s supposedly becoming
gradually evident that it’s either
Mr. President is not getting the
right information, or making
decisions without extensive
consultations and evaluations of
the possible outcomes. Even our
national thugs in the National
Assembly know that banning
Nigeria from international football
would be a huge mistake. Why did
it take Mr. President more than 48
hours to realize this? What if it was
a war decision when a country
could be leveled in 12 hours with
nuclear weapons? Will he be
swinging back and forth like this?
Governance is expected to be
manned by men (and women)
with great ability to make the right
decisions with careful consideration
because national security depends
on their intellectual capacity.
Although we are almost 50 years
as a nation, the thinking processes
of our various governments
present us as toddlers in
democracy. They need to realize
that oscillation experiments are
meant for physics laboratories and
not government ’s situation rooms.
President Jonathan’s recent action,
although it’s a right one, brings the
roles of the various advisers under
sharp criticism. These are
individuals who are expected to be
giving the president accurate up-
to-date details on the situation of
things. They ought to be Nigeria ’s
thinking boxes that are worthy to
be studied as geniuses in our
various ivory towers. However,
like most Nigerians, I ’m suspecting
that they are possibly more or less
of political jobbers constituting
nuisance in our corridors of power.
Some things might be acceptable
on a personal ground, but are quite
ludicrous and phenomenally
absurd when they are associated
with a nation. Let ’s consider the
national embarrassment we are
now getting on the international
scene.
Newspapers, websites and foreign
correspondents are now running to
press with Jonathan ’s change of
heart. Sepp Blatter and his crew at
FIFA would crack jokes over our
national confusion. And Ghana and
other serious African countries
would take the shine off Nigeria
for presenting themselves as well
organized countries with reliable
individuals at the helm of affairs.
Furthermore, why did it take
Jonathan this long to ransack and
sack NFF corrupt chieftains when
all and sundry knows about the
cantankerous corruption in the
Glass House? Why didn ’t the
Presidential Task Force saddled
with revamping the national team
give Mr. President sufficient report
on the mismanagement of our 900
million Naira and what happened
to inter-agency incorporation that
enables every sphere of
government to report to the
presidency? Is it that the
government is so disjointed, in
disarray and not in touch with the
voices on the streets? Or was
Jonathan just taking decisions on
his own?
To all Nigerians, there is need for
us to reposition ourselves as the
real barometer that analyzes the
pressures around us since Aso Rock
is very far from us both
geographically and ideologically.
Let the congratulations over the
rescinded decision be short lived in
order to contend with the reality
that stares us which is Jonathan no
get liver.
I hope the President’s advisers
realize their mistakes. Nigerians
need them to always help Mr.
President make the right decisions
every time. If they can ’t, then we
are in trouble.

Mehn the Octopus predictions dey gba sha!. This is the Sixth consecutively correct predictions by the octupus and they were all correct.
The removal of probability from the game will almost certainly kill it, if this happens to be very consistent then the game of football is getting close to its doom, as such predictions will take the enthusiasm which stems from wanting to know the outcome of a game. Imagine knowing the outcome of any game before it even begins, doom! Right? However, my Gambler friends here think otherwise, this is good for their own game. . .hahaha. . Heard a lot of ppl placed their bets on the Octopus predictions. . Hahaha. . Sadly, it only predicts games played by the german national team.

Dr. Damages Interviews Gen.
Ibrahim Babangida
Written by Rudolf Ogoo Okonkwo-
Dr. Damages
Monday, 05 July 2010 16:52
Announcer: , and
now, here is your
Tonight ’s Show
host, Dr. D.J.
Damages
(Applause)
Dr. Damages:
Thank you. Thank
you. Thank you.
While we were
about to go on air
for tonight ’s show,
I got a call from one Kassim
Afegbua. He asked me if I was
ready to play a role in a movie.
“ What movie?” I asked.
“An interview with a vampire,” he
said. I listened for any trace of
sarcasms in his voice but I heard
none. I told him I had put on my
makeup and was ready for lights,
cameras, and action.
“ I will bring the vampire,” Mr.
Afegbua said.
That was how we bumped our
scheduled guest, Super Eagle
striker, Sani Kaita, for today ’s
special guest.
(Applause)
Today’s guest has been called the
evil genius, military president, eze
ntu etc. But the one that most
Nigerians remember so well is
Maradona. In the annals of
Nigeria ’s history, no man has taken
a country of 140 million people for
a ride the way he did. His late
friend, Gen. Sani Abacha, who took
over after our guest stepped aside,
ruined what was left. For
suffocating him, we have given full
scholarship to that group of Indian
prostitutes.
(Applause)
Maradona’s soul mate, Mr. Manuel
Antonio Noriega of Panama, has
since been tried and sentenced. He
served 17 years in the U.S. prison
for drug trafficking, money
laundering and racketeering. After
his prison term in the U.S., Mr.
Noriega was extradited to France
where he currently faces ten years
in prison. Like Noriega, many
people disappeared during our
guest ’s term as the Head of State
of Nigeria. He also annulled a free
and fair election. Though he
reigned at the same period in
history and had similar legacy, our
guest remains ‘the man they could
not arrest.’ Legend has it that his
mother had four breasts.
(Laughter)
This man’s middle name,
Badamasi, means chameleon in
Sicily.
(Laughter)
Dr Damages: Whenever he dies, all
of his obituaries must include the
following lines Anthony Daniels
used in his tribute to Idi Amin. His
“ tragedy, like that of so many
Africans, was to have admired a
civilization whose external
trappings he strongly desired, but
of whose internal workings he had
no idea, ”
From Niger State, Nigeria, by way
of the Hill Top mansion, please
give a warm welcome to Gen.
Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida.
(Applause)
(Babangida walks into the stage,
shakes Dr. Damages ’ hand and
takes his seat.)
Dr Damages: Ina kwana!
Welcome to the show.
Babangida: Nice to be here.
Dr Damages: It was Okey Ndibe
who first called you Maradona at
the …
Babangida: (Interrupts) God punish
him.
Dr Damages: God punish who?
Babangida: The Okey Ndibe of a
man. In fact, it is not God punish
him. It is that God has punished
him. From the information Andy
Uba ’s people gave me, which my
main man, the National Security
Adviser, Aliyu Gausu, confirmed, he
is living a miserable life in a small
town in York, near London. He
lives in a one-bed room council
flat, drives a rickety car while his
colleagues in Nigeria who believe
in my way now own lands and
mansions in Lagos and Abuja. That
is what you get for failing to adapt
to your world.
Dr Damages: What I was getting
at was that the real Maradona had
since retired from playing soccer.
He has become fat, become
wasted by drugs like cocaine, but
you are still dreaming of being
president …
Babangida: Look Mr. Man, your
research is incomplete. Maradona
has since cleaned up his acts and is
now the head coach of the
Argentina national football team.
And his team did pretty well in
South Africa.
Dr. Damages: A head coach. Not a
player.
Babangida: Nagani! My days of
being a player are long gone. I’m
aspiring to be Nigeria’s head coach.
That is what being a civilian
president is like.
Dr. Damages: If Maryam had
been alive, would she have
supported your quest to return to
Nigeria ’s seat of power?
Babangida: Oh, may peace be
with her. Sai an jima, Maryam. (He
mutters) She was a nice woman.
Her humanity was unequalled. She
was a scarlet virgin with fulsome
lips and curves molded in heaven.
(He breaks down and sobs)
Dr. Damages: We can take a
break if you need it.
Babangida: No. (Grabs a Kleenex
and blows his nose)
Dr Damages: It still hurts?
Babangida: There is something
about Maryam that no journalist
has been able to capture.
Dr. Damages: What is that?
Babangida: She was one of the
three women who changed
Nigeria.
Dr. Damages: How?
Babangida: The media is obsessed
with IBB, but it was her, Victoria
and Gloria that made Nigeria what
it is today.
Dr Damages: I don’t understand.
Babangida: If not for the three girls
from the East, there probably
would not have been the Civil War.
Surely, there would not be the
Babangida coup. Which means that
Maman Vasta and Dele Giwa would
have been alive today.
Dr Damages: What did the girls do?
Babangida: A lot of what
happened in Nigeria from the
sixties until Maryam joined Allah
had their origin in some men ’s
attempt to have these three girls,
to provide for them and to protect
them when they are in trouble. As
young soldiers, these women
inspired us, they inflamed our
pride, and they fuelled our
quarrels.
Dr Damages: The three girls caused
the Civil War too?
Babangida: Indirectly. Tangentially.
But I will let you go and do your
research. Now, that is a story
worth telling and not that
Babangida did this and Babangida
did that. I ’m surprised that I have
not read that Babangida missed a
penalty that would have seen the
Super Eagle through to the second
round of the World Cup.
Dr. Damages: But you did a lot of
harms to Nigeria ’s psyche?
Babangida: How did Roosevelt put
it; (He takes out a piece of paper
from his pocket and reads) “The
credit belongs to the man who is
actually in the arena; whose face is
marred by sweat and blood; who
strives valiantly; who errs and
comes short again and again
because there is no effort without
error and shortcoming; who knows
the great enthusiasms, the great
devotion, spends himself in a
worthy cause; who at best knows
in the end the triumph of high
achievement; and who at worst, if
he fails, at least fails while daring
greatly, so that his place shall
never be with those cold and timid
souls who have never tasted
victory or defeat. ”
Dr. Damages: You recently said
that antecedents are perceptions.
The Igbo people say that
antecedents are like farts that
foretell the taste of feces. Your
antecedent, your fart, stinks.
Nigerians are saying they do not
want to wait to taste your feces
before they foretell what it is like.
Are you saying that Nigerians
must taste your feces?
Babangida: Haba! You have
forgotten that the Igbo gave me a
chieftaincy title – the Ogugua
Ndigbo (1) of Igbo Land – Consoler
of the Igbo. I have a lot of Igbo
friends. They are behind my
campaign to be president.
Dr. Damages: You did not answer
my question?
Babangida: I did.
Dr Damages: You recently told
Nigerians who are calling you a
thief to stop making noise and
prove it. Isn ’t the cry of the hyena
and the loss of the goat the same?
How about you explaining to
Nigerians how you acquired the
enormous wealth you have?
Babangida: Who told you I am
wealthy? Ever seen my name on
the Forbes ’ list of the richest men
in the world? Or have you become
senile like Tai Solarin?
Dr Damages: If not for anything,
your salary as an army officer
would not in hundred years pay
for the kind of home you own in
Minna?
Babangida: Have you been there?
Dr. Damages: No.
Babangida: Then you should come
and see for yourself. In fact, I
invite you to come and have tea
with me.
Dr. Damages: I don’t drink tea. I
drink stronger beverages.
Babangida: I’m not rich but I can
get you anything you want to
drink right inside my cellar.
Dr. Damages: I don’t need to come
to your house to know what it
looks like. I have seen the pictures.
Babangida: Pictures can be
deceiving. Just like my salary as a
soldier can be deceiving. The truth
is that presidents world over get
their reward after they leave
office. They get paid for their
knowledge. And in our case, the
young ones the president helped
lift up pay tribute to the president.
Dr. Damages: You had eight years,
absolute power and over $100
billion and you did not transform
Nigeria. What makes you think
you can transform Nigeria in this
time and age?
Babangida: Ba kome! White
porridge comes out of the black
pot.
Dr. Damages: In other words?
Babangida: I give you three
words: IBB, IBB, and IBB.
Dr. Damages: As military president,
you once said that you were
surprised that the Nigerian
economy had not collapsed. You
said it had defied any known logic.
What is the logic of this quest for
president? Is it because Obasanjo
was head of state twice?
Babangida: Bingo!
Dr Damages: Get out of here! You,
IBB, jealous of Obasanjo?
Babangida: Me? Jealous of that
village farmer? No. I was just
ridiculing the simplistic way you
journalists think. I am offering
myself to serve Nigeria on the
basis of my experience and ability
to bring people together.
Dr Damages: Does it matter that
Nigerians are screaming, “thanks,
but no thanks”?
Babangida: What do Nigerians
know? They are like little kids. Give
them candy and they will compose
songs in your honor.
Dr. Damages: Are you enjoying the
notoriety?
Babangida: I won’t go that far in
my description. I think what I am
doing is for the good of our
democracy.
Dr. Damages: What is good in
trying to buy the presidency with
400 billion Naira?
Babangida: Buy? That is another
harsh word from you. In the worst
case, you can call it ‘paying
restitution.’
Dr. Damages: Your critics accuse
you of committing so many crimes
in your eight years in power. You
are accused of killing Dele Giwa,
embezzling $12.5 billion dollars
from the Gulf War oil boom,
annulling the freest election in
Nigeria ’s history. Do Nigerians
deserve an explanation?
Babangida: Of course. But they
have to wait for my memoir.
Dr. Damages: When will it come
out?
Babangida: When it is ready.
Dr. Damages: It has been 17 years
since you left office.
Babangida: You do not hurry when
you write history. After all, Emeka
Ojukwu is yet to publish his Civil
War memoirs.
Dr. Damages: Are you waiting for
those who know what happened
to die first?
Babangida: Maryam is dead.
Dr Damages: I mean people like
former governor Buba Marwa of
Lagos State, Col. H
Halilu Akilu and Col. A. K. Togun.
Babangida: Listen, if you know the
military code and the official code
of conduct, you will know that you
won ’t hear anything from those
men. They are sworn to secrecy. I
want to move Nigeria forward. I
am not looking back or trying to
dig up things that will only end up
hurting Nigeria for generations to
come.
Dr. Damages: You mean if we
waterboard Marwa, Akilu and
Togun, they will not confess?
Babangida: No. People like them
will die with their secrets. You
know that the man who murdered
Gen. Aguiyi Ironsi is still alive? In
fact, every government that
comes into power reward him with
an oil block he does not need. Has
he confessed?
Dr Damages: Isn’t it true that
wounds heal when exposed to the
air?
Babangida: What happened to
Nigeria is not a wound. It is a series
of gang rapes.
Dr Damages: That makes it a
crime. Isn ’t it?
Babangida: Nigeria does not have
enough prisons to hold the
perpetuators.
Dr. Damages: We can afford to
build more. If we can build the
Abuja stadium in record time, we
can definitely build more prisons in
no time.
Babangida: Nigerians do not have
enough tears to shed.
Dr. Damages: We can afford to
import. If we can import fuel with
all the crude oil we produce, we
can equally import tears.
Babangida: My point is that there
is no point looking back. We should
move forward.
Dr. Damages: I understand that
you came to the United States to
attend the Mississippi Political
Summit of the World Igbo
Congress.
Babangida: Don’t mind those fools.
Dr Damages: No, you did not say
that.
Babangida: Yes, I did.
Dr. Damages: I’m confused. It was
alleged that you sponsored that
Summit. Wasn ’t it set up to sell
your campaign for president to the
Igbo people in the Diaspora?
Babangida: I don’t want to talk
about it.
Dr. Damages: Oh, I get it. They
dribbled you, isn ’t it? They sold a
dummy to you.
Babangida: I said I do not want to
talk about it.
Dr. Damages: I see. They used
your play book on you and you
fell for it. They got money from
you to fund a fake Summit where
they promised to galvanize Igbo
opposition to President Jonathan
Goodluck. But at the end,
Goodluck ’s people dispatched an
Ijaw group to Mississippi with more
money than you sent. The Ijaw
group formed an alliance with that
faction of the World Igbo
Congress …
Babangida: (Interrupts). All I will
say is that being married to a
prostitute is a worthless venture.
You should watch and see what I
will do to Ichie Onwuchekwa, Dr.
Ugorji Ugorji and Mr. C. Chikezie.
Those who cross me do not forget
my response. If in doubr, they
should ask Dele Giwa. As long as I
live, they will never practice
politics in that country. I dislike
people who sell their mothers for
money.
Dr. Damages: Talking about living,
and its opposite, dying, a plane
carrying top Nigerian politicians
recently had a near crash in Lagos.
The big men in the plane were
lucky to be alive. Do you ever
envisage your death and how do
you expect Nigerians to react?
Babangida: That was not a near
miss. It was staged.
Dr. Damages: By whom?
Babangida: You all have simplistic
minds.
Dr. Damages: I don’t get it.
Babangida: What did those big
men do the next day? Where did
they go to?
Dr. Damages: I don’t know.
Babangida: They went to their
flamboyant pastors to give thanks
to God.
Dr. Damages: So?
Babangida: You must really be a
mugu. So I have to spell it all out
for you?
Dr. Damages: Unfortunately, yes.
What do you expect when I
studied Gov. Ikedi Ohakem ’s New
York Times bestselling marketing
book for my degree examination?
Babangida: Whatever! Like I was
saying, two of those money-loving
pastors of Lagos-Ibadan
Expressway connived with the
pilot to shake the big men up. Do
you know how much the men
gave the church the next Sunday
as they thanked God for saving
their lives?
Dr. Damages: Is everything a
conspiracy to you?
Babangida: My life is a conspiracy.
Dr. Damages: Please tell,
conspiracy of God or the Devil?
Babangida: I wish I knew.
Dr. Damages: Don’t tell me you
came from the sea?
Babangida: No. But I’m an enigma.
Dr. Damages: Isn’t an enigma an
animal that is capable of hiding its
patterns?
Babangida: Are you calling me an
animal?
Dr. Damages: Of course not. Who
born monkey? (Smirks)
Babangida: Much better.
Dr. Damages: Nothing is more
pathetic than an animal whose
pattern has been identified without
the knowledge of the animal. In
Brazil, a monkey is caught by
simply dropping a fruit inside a
transparent bottle with an opening
that will not allow the monkey to
pull its hand out once it has the
fruit. Because the animal will not
drop the fruit and run even when
the hunter emerges from his
hiding…
Babangida: (Interrupts) Let me
stop you there. You think Nigerians
know my pattern? Why do you
think so? Because Wole Soyinka
turned around at Benin airport
when he heard I was at the Edo
rally?
Dr. Damages: No! Because we
know you were sent to arrest your
friend, Col. B. S. Dimka but when
you got there you let him escape
from the radio station.
Babangida: What does that tell
you?
Dr. Damages: Your scheme was
that if the coup had succeeded,
Dimka would have brought you
into his government for sparing his
life. If it failed, like it did, you
would be called a hero.
Babangida: Give me another
example.
Dr. Damages: You set up Arthur
Nwankwo as a human right
activist. He made press statements
criticizing your government.
Meanwhile, he was also spying for
you. He was the one who brought
Maman Vasta and co into his hotel
room to finalize plans for the Vasta
coup. When his co-conspirators left
his hotel room, he called your
intelligence chief. Soon after Arthur
Nwankwo left for London, your
people moved in and arrested
Vasta and co.
Babangida: Another one.
Dr Damages: In the 90s, during
your transition to nowhere, you
took every ambitious Southern
politician into your bedroom. One
after the other, you told each of
them, in confidence, that you have
decided to hand over power to
them. You even gave them
money and sent them out on
fools ’ arena.
Babangida: Another one.
Dr Damages: How many do you
want me to mention?
Babangida: If that is the pattern,
why haven ’t you people stopped
me?
Dr. Damages: Despite all we have
known about the rat, it continues
to escape with the fish placed on
its trap.
Babangida: Bingo!
Dr. Damages: Until the day it will
be smashed by the dark bottom of
an old woman ’s cooking pot.
Babangida: Let us wait for that
day and that courageous old
woman. What is the point debating
ones farming skills during the
raining season?
Dr. Damages: You know very well
that if there is a credible election in
Nigeria you have zero chance of
being president?
Babangida: Your man, Obasanjo,
said that even Jesus cannot
conduct a credible election. So, isn’t
that my luck?
Dr. Damages: Edwin Madunagu
says that ‘an embrace with
Babangida is an embrace with
death …’
Babangida: (Interrupts) Another
miserable fellow! Don ’t you know
any well fed people to quote?
Dr. Damages: M.K. O. Abiola…
Babangida: (interrupts) Here you
go. I was about to say that you
were the first interviewer who did
not mention that man. (He
murmurs) That man, CIA asset, did
not register as a foreign agent.
You know, nobody will give me
the credit of seeing the neck of the
monkey and still tying him up at
the lower back. Nobody. Umm …
(unintelligent).
Dr. Damages: In your interview
with Compass newspaper, you said
that the Abacha administration
was caused by all of us who
rejected your Shonekan
contraption. Aren ’t you being
disingenuous again in avoiding
responsibility? Would Abacha have
been head of state if you had not
annulled the election of 1993?
Babangida: One day, some
hundred years from now, when
the true history of Nigeria is
written, you all will thank me.
Dr. Damages: In the same
interview, you said that Nigeria will
live for thousands of years. The
CIA gave Nigeria 15 years, with or
without Goodluck. How could you
be so sure of Nigeria ’s longevity
when 100 years ago, there was no
Nigeria? And many of the countries
that were around when Mr.
Fredrick Lugard ’s girlfriend named
the amalgamated Northern and
Southern protectorate, Nigeria, had
disappeared.
Babangida: How will Nigeria break
up when we are connected by
marriage? What will happen to my
children if the North is no longer
connected to the South? That is an
impossibility. And that is one
reason why I’m running for
president – to ensure that Nigeria
lives for thousands of years.
Dr. Damages: Congratulations.
Time magazine recently named
you one of the world ’s most
influential people.
Babangida: (Looks surprised). Na
gode, Allah. In which category?
Dr. Damages: For solving the
Poincare conjecture.
Babangida: Which category is that?
Dr. Damages: Take a guess -
Leadership, artists, thinkers,
heroes, evil geniuses.
Babangida: How do you guys in
America say it; go Bleep yourself.
Dr Damages: You, too. (Looks at
his watch) That is all the time we
have. Good luck to you in the
upcoming elections.
Babangida: Thank you.
Dr Damages: Viewers, that’s the
one and the only Ibrahim
Badamusi Babangida. Until next
time, thank you all for watching
and good night.

Funny Enough, a majority of naija babes see relationships that way, Lopsided to their favour.
They claim they want to take you out but you end up paying the bills, they cook a very good meal and invite over, by the time you are through with the meal you realize it's a scheme to ask you for a favour. It's her birthday, she expects you to take her out or host a party for her and still buy her an expensive birthday gift; it is your birthday, they still expect you to take them out and celebrate your birthday and your gift is "I had a good time" or some fake ass chinko stuff. And when you decide to host it, their only contribution is just cooking for you and that's it. Naija babes are serious liabilities when they want to be.

Spanishfly:
If you've never asked him for money, he gives you on his own but one day, you are broke and in need of money and you asked him. You know he takes care of his own family and money is tight on him but he has a very good, paying job. He replies that, he doesn't have enough at the moment, because of his other responsibilities and he tells you he cannot be 50-100% your responsibility, that he even has to pay his sister's fees.

Girls, how would you react to this? I even pitied him but another mind was telling me, you are his girl and you don't ask at all. You should be part of his responsibility.
. . Galfriend right? Of course he can't be 50-100 percent responsible for you na. You no be him wife na, shio.

A blackman can put spining rims on anything, even a toaster. . Scheeew. . No wonder they don't ve empires and generational wealth.

. . .hahahaha. . . Ok that was realy funny (still lafin). . First of all, am not single neither am I searching, so the possibility of running away with another man's internet crush is just like my gf will say, "it is so not happening". Am very happy with whom am with, fact that I don't act all lovey lovey on the net does'nt mean am not capable of falling with the two of my legs broken in love. . Lol. . I just feel frustrated when ppl trivialize topics with very alien discussions that should pop up in private. I mean you sef check am now, it was not like it was just one of those flirts that boyz and gals occassional slip into a thread and just move on, in their case, they just continued endlessly page after page and post after post. At a point I lost track of what the topic was all about. I just felt I should let em know they were killing the fun for me with their private gists that was begining to take away attention from the main topic. I guez Funkybabe decided to act true to stereotype and me having a lot of useless time in my hand that yesterday decided to indulge her. . Lol. . .silly me. . Poor Kush obviously was not the bad mouth kinda guy. Anyway, Mr kush trust me, I am nothing like my internet persona but dont hold your breath with the: "I can't say ish to your face in person", of course, I won't but I can negro but let's just leave it there as a thought. And move on bro, you curse like a 10yr old. . .seriously, you suck at it, meet funkybabe to brush you up a lil. . Hahahaha. . And even your wooing skillz, kinda too elementry in concept and the words look too much like sth one can pick up from a rap song about love and women too hiphop and lacked magic. I guez that was why she kept hobnobing with ya but with no real intentions. Anyway, I no go lie, in retrospect, yesterday's curse war was kinda fun esp with the way Funkybabe went on and on abt being a . .! And dragging my late mum. . Lol. . Kinda funny though taking eminem rout of cursing one's self to forestall opponents from using such against you.
Anyway, am so not in the mood for that today, it is monday for 4ck say, I ve gotto direct more cash flow to my Acc. .hehehe. .
Kush sorry bro but am so over you, just move on, I gues Funkybabe has. . . Am off to Work!!

. . Hahaha. . Want me to let you on into a secret? Yeah you are unknownly falling for J. .lol. . May be not for the right reasons though, but it is showing. Do you know how many times you mentioned J in you previous post? 12 times galfriend. . Lol. . But seriously, what would you do if there is slight chance that J starts nursing genuine feelings for you? Be honest. And by the way, moving out will be such a great idea, it will save you the drama but for the meantime, treat her like a disease, caution and tactical distance.

Seriously, I think you owe the Doc an appology.
Doc,
Lately, I have been struggling with an itchy nostrils. I don't like sleeping on the bed as it makes me over-sleep and lose track of time when I am supposed to wake up, so I sleep most times on a soft foam laid on the rug. I kind of notice that sometimes, dust particles enter my nostrils but I don't know if it is the reason each time I sneaze, the inside of my nostrils get seriously itchy and I start to sneaze uncontrollably. At times I scratch and scratch by pressing my hard so hardly on my nose to rub the inside surfaces against itself, this usually ends with a sore nose at times. Anything I can do for it to stop? Realy pissing me off.

Dayum, even a CV here huh. This thread don suffer embarassed

Now to tha latest!!!

Last night, I was at home just browsing, chilling with my cousin and occasionally peeping into naira land. Roommate had been gone for hours on end, (probably bleeping the whole town, I told my visiting cousin), so I and cousin were the only ones in the apartment. Everyone pretty much knows I was mad when I threatened to bleep J, I didn’t really mean it o. Besides, I’ve been holding the kitty captive for more than a year to get my life back on track, why should I dish out just because some silly girl made me mad?
So Saturday was just a laid back night, indoors!

Later on roomie comes in with the other guy she bleeps. And by the way, I and this guy have a mutual dislike for each other. I mean, even if a girl is going to cheat, the other guy should be worth it, right? This guy she cheats on J with on the other hand is a ruffian! He has nothing on J and I fail to see what roomie sees in him…maybe the s-ex is good sha. That’s the only logical answer I can arrive at. Maybe J is too much of a teddy bear to be good in the sack!!!

And as a side note, I don’t know what is wrong with roommate, she likes flaunting her men like; ‘See what I got, you have nothing’.

Cos immediately my cousin takes his leave, Roommate and her boyfriend number 2, start French kissing and stuff right in front of ME. Well, me I just shut down my laptop and left for my room o, to see a movie. They were laughing and giggling like they just won the lottery or something. (Two immature drivels…hiss!). I wonder if she thinks I miss having s-ex or something. She acts as if she’s waving food in front of a starved woman. Me o, I love s-ex but I don’t miss it. When I meet the right guy, I know Il have lots and lots so WTF?!

I know people have been suggesting vengeance and stuff, but I just decided to breathe and let it go. If J has to find out, then he will have to find out by himself or through others. Only that she really knows how to play her game…and I wonder if J will ever discover the real girl behind the façade she puts up. But I’m really keeping my fingers crossed that he DOES find out!

I know for sure that J doesn’t visit Nairaland though. He has this PA who does all his online stuffs for him. I know cos it’s another of roomie’s empty, breezy boasts that J’s PA is responsible for most of her assignments and researches (lazy slut), so as far as I know, she’s blissfully ignorant about this thread.

And by the way, I’ve started cleaning up in anticipation of leaving! I’m sick and tired of living in a darn war zone. Whenever I’m going back to the flat, my heart starts beating fast and I wonder what poo she going to come up with, again! Can’t allow anybody to get my hair from the bath tub for voodoo (she hates me that much). So I’m moving in with one of my cousins…and I’m hoping no more drama before I leave in about a weeks’ time.

But life’s funny though. I cheated on my boyfriend just once and got caught (that was the old me peeps, now am an angel) …but roomie’s been getting away with blue murder over and over again, while J is none the wiser. I feel sorry for J…he doesn’t deserve a girl like roomie!
Will be sure to keep y’all posted if something does come up, though! Peace!!!
Seriously, you may not ve realized it but your slutty roomy is pushing you to like J and you ve, even without knowing it.
Good thing is that you ve found a way to vent out your anger and frustrations by taking it to the net. Therapeutic I must say!
And seriously, stop worrying about roomy's affairs( even though am enjoying the gist sha) you give too much attention to what she does and she, knowing that you give a damn, uses it to touture you mentally and maneuver your feelings. You need to hang around close friends and possibly have your cousin live in with you, that way, you wont feel the gaping vacuum of loneliness, occupying your thoughts with what she did and did not do. Anyway, keep the gist coming am so feeling this ish better than K. . .and . . F. . .boring my a$s with fake-as$ gists

"u inferiority complex infested excuse for life"
Seriously, there is a clear line between coloquialism and an utter lack of understanding of the basis for the correct grammatical construction.
Kush, lil gangster, the latter is your problem, you are a bonafide dunce, whoever taught you English Language should be shot dead. You are a perfect example of : "I no know and I no sabi say I no know"
And to even think that his co-!diot, FunkyHO would spur him up on that kind of flawed grammar,. . .scheeew. . Kini omo de mor. . . Typical of a senescent bimbo!
