Crime / Re: Mothers, Your Daughters Are Exposed To Rapists Under Any Of These Conditions by Rocktation(f): 9:39am On Jul 12, 2021
All these points are carried. These are mere guidelines and definitely not built in stone. Be sentimental and argue away the gift of wokeness and being able to take heed, at the expense of your female child's physical and mental wellness.
I don't even understand why people argue about everything. Even the ones that don't have any child, would want to have an opinion. Everything must not be consumed by everybody. Endeavor to master the art of waka pass, for whenever you can't relate to simple suggestions.

I don't do naija songs oo, but every now and again, a few manage to touch a certain something in my head and I love them real harrrrrrd. This guy wasn't great vocally, but he was lyrically smoking, abeg. I was absolutely obsessed with his Motherland. With him singing off key, I connected deeply with the song at a time where GSM was nonexistent in Nigeria and almost everyone I had come to know, were emigrating on a weekly. Today, it's Fejiro from our backstreet, tomorrow it's uncle Ifeanyi, our neighbor. It was quite depressing, I swear. They go and everything goes silent. You only hear from their relatives (if fortunate), that they write letters or whatever it is they did back then.

Education / Re: NDU Suspends Uniform For Undergraduates, Bans Indecent Dressing by Rocktation(f): 10:13am On Jul 09, 2021
Sabadon:
I know it might sound awkward, but wearing uniforms has a way of instilling a culture of professionalism.


For example in medical school you are meant to dress a certain way, likewise lawyers. It becomes easier adapting to such dress code even after graduation. My thoughts tho

There is no relationship between a dress code and a uniform, please. While dress code is a guideline of conformity and provides people with some options, wearing uniforms is just stiff. And if truly, this is a conscious attempt at instilling any kind of professionalism whatsoever, then it is pathetic, myopic and a band aid solution to a much bigger problem. Problem of not just the student, but of the teachers as well.
Education / Re: He Speaks English Well But Can Not Read And Write by Rocktation(f): 7:57pm On Jul 04, 2021
I'll tell you what happened. He grew up in the village, that's what happened. All those village schools just promote students through the classes, even write answers on the boards for them to copy and pass junior and senior waec. Then for jamb, special centres come to the rescue. That is what happened.
Now, there's probably nothing wrong with him, medically. He is just too old to start learning languages. Just as you might find it difficult to learn Dutch at this your old age. If shame will let him, he should postpone getting a tertiary degree and go for extramural reading lessons in some sort of adult education centre, that will have that feel of inclusivity for people like him.

False.
You don't need CONNECT , I was admitted on merit . many of my friends who beat the cutoff have also been admitted by merit. The university wouldn't be stupid enough to play with the slots meant for merit candidates.

Which school was yours? And what happens when there are more students who passed the cutoff mark, than there are these slots, you talk about?

Don't have this mentality. It's not totally true. Most federal universities like Unilag admit purely on merit basis first before considering man know man, extra leg and all that poo. The remaining spaces they fill in are of those who rejected the admission or didn't have the clearance requirement. If you meet the cutoff, u get admitted. As simple as that.

Well, if you say so. I did not attend Unilag or have any close person that did, so I wouldn't want to argue blindly. But most Federal Universities? I don't think you should give people false hope either. The Unilorin, OAU, Uniben, FUTO, FUTA, Unical, Unijos that I know, will not give you admission, just because you made the cut. If anything, the "connect", will even ask if you did make the cut, to make things easier with the button pressing. That same Unilorin, back in 2001, delivered my sister's admission letter via a postman on our doorstep. Go and try that now --As in, write jamb, fill Unilorin, get 300 and don't find anybody to push for you (with emphasis on competitive courses). It will shock you.

The reality is that Nigeria is a terrible place to be. He may not even get admitted with a score of 280, without knowing nobody. Admission based on merit, has since been dead and buried. Worse still, is that when they finish with their man-know-man and you interact with some of them that they push to become the dokitas, you won't be able to differentiate them from native doctors.

LOL I'm sure the next time you watch a drama, you'll wikipedia to see if it has different adaptations

No two ways about that one. The Thailand was even written in the description box. It was my eyes that refused to see it. I also forgot that someone once said that Thailand and some other Asians' works were also classified as K-drama, so I wasn't in an active lookout for country of origin.
Then again, had it been interesting, I still would have thought that it's the Thailand version that everyone was going crazy about.

Lmao please I can't shout abeg. Lol I really didn't know other countries had also done their adaptations haha Pele. I also hope the Korean version will be great enough to heal your heartache (I haven't watched it, it's 21 episodes and 20 is usually my limit for dramas).

So most of the time, Koreans will name a drama and the literal translation won't make sense in English (e.g me too, flower) so they give it a title that is marketable to foreign audiences. it's just for marketing and promotion purposes and honestly I don't think it's necessary but whatever e.g the Korean title for doom at your service is "one day destruction came to my door" but that might be a mouthful so they just decided to carry the summary of the drama and call it doom at your service. Lol this having multiple names is another reason I haven't watched some dramas, I remember searching every site for "I remember you" I couldn't find it anywhere so I gave up, a few months later I realized it was also called hello monster or something like that and it had been under my nose all along, I just didn't know it was the drama I was looking for, till today I haven't seen that drama cos by the time I finally knew the second title, other dramas had taken my attention so I pushed it down my to do list.

Really? I admit to noticing little translation inconsistencies in dramas sometimes sha and I catch myself saying - oh, I think they meant to say this and that...
But they should take it easy with this titling discrepancies abeg.

I didn't suspect anything with this drama at all. The Thai version was exactly, "My Love From Another Star" and it comes up first in search results. It was while watching one of those YouTube drama lists, that I saw familiar Korean faces and they called it, "My Love From The Star". Then I ran a search on Kissasian and saw the right faces against the "You, Who Came From The Stars", while still tagging My Love From Another Star" as one of its titles.. The experience was just crayzy.

I kept wondering what is wrong with people, that is not wrong with me. The Thai version is nothing to write home about...even though their ladies are drop dead gorg.

I have now also taken note of that I Remember You, cos it's on my list. Thank you.

Ohh I'm so relieved that I now have another chance to prove myself wrong.
Kangminhyuksho, you know I told you that I was seeing something like a season two for "My love from another star"? It's the Thai mockery of the drama and I fell for their trap! You guys should've warned me. I barfed through the episode one, which was the only episode I could take, while wondering why people would rate or recommend it at all. I only just found out on youtube that the original is totally different and mostly goes by the title, "You, who came from the stars".

Original ownership is even a subject of debate, as I hear that the Chinese are also in the mix. The Korean version, I hope anyway, should be good enough to sooth this ache that those Thai people have left in my heart, with their ntoing toing toing language.

Then what's up with kdramas having multiple titles?

Baba Ijesha deserves bail, public opinion is similar to jungle justice, it is terrible. But this man cannot justify abusing a minor(if the girl is actually a minor) with the fact that they all sleep with one another in the industry.
The man deserves bail, the court will determine if he is guilty. And the Yomi Fabiyi guy na man him be, fighting for what u believe when the whole world is against u? Very commendable.
If we also say he is just standing up for his friend who has done wrong, loyalty is also commendable.
And for friends that turned against baba ijesha because they believe he has done something bad, standing up against what u believe is bad(even if it's ur own that is involved) is also very honourable.

You religious extremists are just the worst. Isn't it enough to acknowledge God as God and lead a life, worthy of emulation? Why must he be praying fire fire to tickle your fancy? It's almost as though they feed you hyssops in these your churches, that now make you uppity and think yourselves as deputies of Jesus. How can you even know from your earthy perspective, what is true from the perspective of heaven? Because your pastor tells you so? Or because you know someone who has died and gone beyond, but came back with evidence as regards to what is correct?

You better start using your God-given sense and redirect your attention to acts of kindness and charity, justice and mercy. That way, you would both be serving your faith and increasing your flock, far more than beating others over the head with texts and ideas, only you hold so tightly.

Currently enjoying the movie. Adults behaving like adults especially the relationship/sexuality aspects

Btw, why did the author move in with them, was it because his gf plagiarised his novel or what is he hiding from? I still don't get that part clearly

He was convinced by that betrayer that he would find interesting people to inspire his new book, at the house. That's the major reason. Others were that he wanted to run away from publicity and that he's renovating his main house.

Woww, you went all in, didn't you? I didn't get the mention at the time you posted, because my moniker's spelt incorrectly. It does look to me like you've done a pretty good job of analysing the characters already and you want to come back with more? Choi, I fear who no fear you. You sure loved the drama. No two ways about that one.

She caught his attention from the get go alright, but it probably wasn't love at first sight for him, as I guess we're supposed to believe of the FL. Which is why he initially paid lots of attention to explaining himself/asking for consent before doing anything for her. Who wouldn't sef, after witnessing her kolomental, firsthand, at the backstage, where she wielded a weapon at that escapee that intended to kill his child? I attribute his show of character strength though, to the heavy hand dealt him by life at a tender age and no doubt, his work ethics. Of cos, he quickly upgraded from just being a reasonable somebody to one who's smitten with her.

The FL's injured psyche held the reins, but we were made to see that her true nature slips through to the surface time and again, when she pillow fights, prevents fans from antagonising the ML's bro.. etcetera. One positive that accorded her, is that she became gutsy, doing and grabbing whatever she wants by the lapels. Case in point; Fyne boi ML plus baggage; brother, no steady job...

They're right for each other, definitely, with each of them cancelling out the other's crase. The bro was the extra that tried to mess up their setting, but las las, God pass am..

The chemistry in the count to three scene is to live and die for. You know I can't sign off, without addressing that titbit nau. It's a perfect ten for me. But I was saddened that after he'd confessed to her and she said that she wanted to turn in, they'd dismissed us with expressions, reminiscent of people who were confused about progress, only to appear in a new scene, boiling tea abi wetin...mscheww. The suggestive transition wasn't properly conveyed jare.

I especially love how the resetting or was it condemnation, of the mother's head was captured. Chaiiii...That blow is the truest depiction of high impact.

I remember going gaga about the drama, in the first eight or so episodes, but it became drab for a while, but picked up the pace again from twelve, maybe? Can't remember.

It's a good drama in all, sha.

I sincerely hope the Korean industry keep it clean and not get tainted with Hollywood's virus. The storylines, polarity between male & female, the beauty (the actors&actresses really take effort to look their best), the engagement of the mind, the way they let romantic relationship develop, the restraint they teach etc. Awesome.

K-drama (the good stuff not romcom fluff) gets you to think because they somehow know how to capture normal human interaction.

Just how you read books and it opens your mind or simplifies something you know, movies do same.

I am itching to do a review of It's ok not to be okay when I am done (currently on episode 13).

That drama is enough thesis for human relationship (sexual and non-sexual).

Almost all of them in that drama are not ok. grin

Lol...I will be waiting for that review.

And you might want to fit a show with a different theme, between the ones that share the same themes. From personal experience, I begin to make unnecessary comparisons and end up devaluing the work put into one of both contents.

I say this, cos I don't want you to wonder why you didn't watch and review it's okay that's love, first grin...since it's older and may have inspired newer stories with similar trope.

I may have faltered at one point, while following Google's suggestion, which is why I reverted to following direct human-human recommendation. But it's certainly not like google can't hit it right, sometimes.
And to think that Hollywood has ran out of originality, making the whole world imagine that movie as an art is dead and buried. It's quite funny, really. Now, they're recruiting Koreans, with their last breath to revive their industry. People like me, may have jumped ship forever.

I've been back and forth on whether to say anything about the It's Okay, That's Love, having finished watching it. Not because I don't have anything to say, but because I have too much that's now jumbled up and have made me not know where to start from. My poor heart still flutters.

The show is sooooooo good, that I'm now not certain of the aptest way to express opinion on it. You there, who have not watched it, just endeavor to do so, before you leave this life abeg. It offered nothing to feed unrealistic expectations. Just straight up truths. Truths on how our control can only be as far as how we respond to life. Never how life comes at us. Even I, connected in some profound way, as per why my majoring in Neuroscience was not _____
It's because absolute solutions are_____

tongue Spoiling averted.

Again, I thought that Family of the year's Hero ST was so so perfect for the scene, where he came to. It sure has a collection of beautiful songs as Sound tracks.

Then I was gifted with highly suggestive and the highest number of love making scenes in a K-drama, ever! From my K-drama experience, of course. How cool is that?!!! Be assured that I can now die happy, whenever that bell is due for tolling.

These Koreans are really putting me in a frenzy with these back to back hits. K-entertainment has come a long way from Boys Before Flowers and if you ask me, people shouldn't be recommending that or any mediocre stuff to softland anyone again.

Video quality and direction, as I mentioned earlier, might be discouraging at first, but make it through the first few seconds and you're hooked like no tomorrow. To this effect, I'm adding it to the "Must Watch List" that I'm putting up, for no-hot-mess-having people like myself, that are lucky to stumble upon my posts at any given time;

What's Wrong With Secretary Kim
