just watched an interview of her after she finished the race on BBC iplayer and boy, am I proud to be Nigerian. heheheh. She said "I've made my country proud" and she sure did! She seemed so excited |

mama-gee: such people are uninformed. It's well known Nigerians are good at sprints. How many athletes of Nigerian origin are world class sprinters running for other nations? I watched the race and the gold medal was unexpected which made it more exciting. I thought "she would do well" but when she won , replay replay slow motion replay replay and then in the relay she doubles with a silver. |
Travel / Re: Nigeria High Commission, London: Matters Arising by rume(m): 6:03pm On Aug 26, 2010 |
yeah, well it would have been nice for me to share your sentiments. I applied/paid online in February for a new e-passport because the old one will be invalid as from December and when is(not was) my interview? August 31st!!!!!!! The website previously gave a date in the month of March, 7 February - 31 March, that's not long so I did not complain, and the date happened to be a public holiday(why give me a pub hol? though I thought it was just the website not being in sync with Uk pub hols, so did not complain) so weeks before I tried contacting them on what to do and I was not answered or replied(emails and phone calls). It wasn't my fault the website gave me a pub hol. I went back to the website 2sdays prior to this date and it automatically gave me a date during June(it figured itself out, finding that the previous date was a pub hol) 31 March -april-may- 3 June, not that short a waiting time, still I did not really complain, but I couldn't make this date as I had an exam but the website kept bringing up the same date when I clicked reschedule. I tried calling the office and after about 13 calls(wasting my time and calling credit) I was told by a man "As the website gave you a public holiday, there's nothing we can do except you come the next day". I couldn't, still because of my exams. , so I got fed up and decided to wait for some time to see if the website would provide another date , later got back online to change it and it now gave me 19July. Feb-July, now I thought "finally I'll get this done" I decided to print the receipts about a week to this date and when I logged in to their website it had automatically changed the interview date to 31st of August. I DID NOT request a new date. The website did this and I don't know why. Afterall it wasn't a pub hol. That's two months wait again. It's annoying because I had to book two previous train tickets for two previous dates which I did not use, that's not mentioning the wait from 7th February -march-april-may-jun-jul-till 31st August. So far I've gotten 4 interview dates and 3 receipts printed which have the previous dates and I only rescheduled once by myself. That's 7 months of passport interview date rescheduling. What a very frustrating dribble! |

Travel / Re: Nigeria Embassy London Worst Management by rume(m): 12:11am On Jun 10, 2010 |
My current passport is meant to expire next year but it isn't an e-passport, which is why I'm applying for another one as the old type will be invalid from December but I'm wondering if the invalidity is if I'm travelling to Nigeria or if I can use it somewhere else after December. Does anyone know? |
Travel / Re: Nigeria Embassy London Worst Management by rume(m): 3:06am On Jun 08, 2010 |
babyjowo:No I didn't have to wait. Actually the silly website rescheduled the date itself without my involvement, I logged on to see they had changed the date few days before that day and when I tried to change it, it kept giving me the same date |
Music/Radio / Re: For Lovers Of Rock Music Only! by rume(m): 5:21pm On May 31, 2010 |
A take on some of these bands Decyfer Down - "Walking Dead" what lyrics, from Decyfer Down's "End of Grey" album. I don't really jump around for the tracks I've heard from Crash, their new EP/album . Kutless's new album so far isn't bad too. Day of Fire - There's been so much noise about "lately" from their latest album on the internet and I have a video of them perfoming it on stage. Seventh day Slumber- erm only "Caroline" really stays in my head. Fireflight - sweet!!!!!!!! "For those Who Wait" video is sooooooo well done. great, don't know about "desperate". Blindside - don't know these guys that much, only heard "Silence". |
Travel / Re: Nigeria Embassy London Worst Management by rume(m): 2:55pm On May 29, 2010 |
I've waited for 2 months, SILLY website gave me 31st of May which is a UK Bank Holiday After rescheduling, it gave me 3 August! All this after starting my application in February. Words fail me to describe how much I feel like killing someone who works there or made the website. Nonsense. |

Music/Radio / Re: For Lovers Of Rock Music Only! by rume(m): 5:32pm On May 24, 2010 |
sevule:Oh yeap, Brian Welch scares me! Well, rather, he looks quite scary and you may end up feeling sorry for him just by looking at him. I've not payed much attention to his listen to his music though. Red, Decemberadio and Skillet all nice. The letter Black and Fireflight are well nice too. "For Those who wait", the new album from fireflight sounds good too but Unbreakable from the first album is a catcher. DemonHunter = decibel x 10000 |

bizkit:Sir, get over yourself! What makes you think you're the only one who knows Anberlin? OR the most rock music bound soul here. Don't mind me, hehehe. I don't mean it that way but if it's a rock band that have a "christian" inclination then it's most likely I'd know them. They are or rather were on the Tooth & Nail Record label which has a lot of christian artists. I'm not a "fan" though of Anberlin. |
Music/Radio / Re: For Lovers Of Rock Music Only! by rume(m): 10:52pm On May 01, 2010 |
mostojr: You've all gone mad. heeehheheh Mostojr- I guess you like "Hanging on by a thread" I've had that on my webpage for over a month now. Beautiful drumming on the track, I must say. The only band you mentioned I didn't know wasm 38th Parrallel. I was never into secular rock. I though still scrutinise music whether it's by Hillsong or DCB or Demon Hunter, always test the spirit behind as much as possible. And I hope you buy these songs and not download them from these filesharing websites for free, eh? |

justwise:Okay then. Am I right in guessing after you paid, you were given an interview date by post or email. |
Travel / Re: Nigeria Embassy London Worst Management by rume(m): 4:19am On Apr 14, 2010 |
No Wee:okay, I want one but my problem is paying in dollars. I don't have a dollar account so can't pay online. Also, did you take the so called guarantor's form along with you? |

lastpage: Well, all these are what I was thinking, but they are definitely easier said than done. People to have to work and go about their daily activities, pick up their children, brothers, sisters from school etc, instead of having to be diverted to a cell on their way to their business and made to spend a night there. hmmm |

Politics / Re: Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab: This Is His Photo by rume(m): 3:15am On Dec 30, 2009 |
After he was caught, he wasted no time in saying he was from AL Q, and that he got his explosive stuff from Yemen etc. He was in a hospital so I don't think he was tortured or any such thing, but he gave all that information away, rather strange as I may expect him to refuse to speak or release all that info so easily. Something still funny about this whole story though. Maybe this was just a warning/threat/distraction from the so called "Al Qaeda" to the west. The tabloid said he was "President of University's extremist Islamic Society" which I almost don't believe. The University said he was "President of the University's Islamic Society" but I guess the press have added spice to it. Well, he himself might have been extreme anyway. |

Fashion / Re: Michael Jackson: A Style Retrospective. by rume(m): 4:28pm On Jul 01, 2009 |
superior1: still don't think he ''chose to be white'', there are black people who became lighter(with dark patches in their skin) who decided to depigment their skin to even out the colouration. This as a result of the skin disorder, VITILIGO. Satan's church or not, those in 'God's churches'-- how many of them would be in heaven if today was the judgment day? God knows. |
Fashion / Re: Michael Jackson: A Style Retrospective. by rume(m): 2:27pm On Jun 30, 2009 |
davidylan: Well, hmmmm, the ''self hatred'' wasn't on his skin color (maybe for his nose or chin). He never distanced himself from his roots or Afro-American community but he was always ridiculed. |
Fashion / Re: Michael Jackson: A Style Retrospective. by rume(m): 3:31am On Jun 30, 2009 |
[/quote][quote author=spikedcylinder link=topic=289132.msg4105534#msg4105534 date=1246266816]Actually, there are such cases. The person's skin can become really really ''white''. If not severe, can be hidden with make-up, other times, it is easier to get rid of the pigments in the skin( to even colouration) as there may be more light spaces(which eventually become lighter and whiter) than dark colured ones. |
Politics / Re: Why Edo People Like Big Grammar? by rume(m): 4:27am On Apr 02, 2009 |
but seriously, sometimes it's just amusing the way it sounds. Listen so you can respect/laugh/or learn a new word and look it up 'google' as it may not be in a normal dictionary. |
Politics / Re: Why Edo People Like Big Grammar? by rume(m): 4:22am On Apr 02, 2009 |
It's not an Edo thing, is it? Well I grew up in Benin and I know many old people ''spake a lot of English''. Oh Ibadan is learning well then, Obahiagbon communicates as far as I'm concerned but only with people of his ''vocabularistic callibre'' (like me, lol) and not mere nigerian-english speaking people. His speeches are exams, and I'm quite sure many people will fail. |

Politics / Re: Politics Vs. Olympics by rume(m): 11:54pm On Aug 26, 2008 |
Even in schools, athletics seem to be asleep. Only football seems to be speaking. To me, athletics and other sports are relegated to the background at government and national levels other than football (which is not well administerated yet). I know good athletes from my neighbourhood and early school days who have slipped through our hands. |
