That's really impressive of her for bringing pride and honour to Nigeria. . .

It really brings shame and reproach to people that think Nigeria have got no talent.

Did you have to wait for your interview date to pass before being able to re-schedule?

I think Brian 'HEAD' Welch's conversion experience was a fantastic one
and you should try and read his ebook about his experiences in Korn.
His album was head banging and pretty spiritual, I particularly loved the
L.O.V.E single from his album. My only disappointment was the fact that
he released only one album. Presently trying out DemonHunter, those guyss
rock though the music gets too loud sometimes sha

Been listening to rock for about 13 years.
Rock (all subgenres) is deep so I think people should be really be careful with the bands they listen to. Bands like Korn, Staind, System of the Down, etc have hidden occultic messages in their songs. For this reason, I switched to Christian Rock.

When it comes to christian rock you'll find extreme satisfaction cos the christian bands are just as good as their secular conterparts (some are better). Here are some of the christian bands I listen to and a brief description of what they sound like.

The Letter Black - This is alternative rock. They only have one album but the album is correct. The lead singer sounds a lot like Avril but the music is heavier (the bass guitar is louder).

Demon Hunter- Pure heavy metal. These guys are really noisy. If you can listen to this then you've crossed over from Rock to Metal.

Skillet - This is about the most popular christian rock band at the moment. They're even on Billboard. A lot of screaming here but the nice strings and guitar riffs will cover for all that.

38th Parallel - They sound a lot like Linkin Park. The mix down of their music is not as good though.

Casting Crowns - The gospel message in their song can convert a muslim in a day. Lol!

Okay. I'm tired of describing the bands. I'll just go ahead and list a few more then I'll tell you how to find their music for FREE.

Jeremy Camp
Haste The Day
Falling Up
Tenth Avenue North (This was the second best band of 2009, you should really try this)
Head Aka Brian Welch (this guy broke out of KORN so the two bands sound alike)
Destroy the Runner
Red (one of my favourite)

For those that are not really into the heavy rock thingy you can try some of the following bands.

Hillsongs United (Hillsong is old school)
David Crowder Band
Meredith Andrew
Sonic Flood
Downhere

Okay, these CDs are not available in Nigerian shops (except the Media store in The Palms) so you can download from www.jetdl.com.
All you have to do is search for the artist or the album and it will take you to a file sharing website where you can download full, high quality albums.
You can also get songs (singles) from www.beemp3.com
Some would recommend LimeWire but I won't because of all the wahala that come with it
If you need more info, holla!

You don't need to have dollar account, i paid with my UK bank account and it was converted. Yes u can payonline with your debt card.

I did not submit any guarantor form.

No Wee:

Dis Guy,

Thanks for your response.

I went to the embassy for the e-passport and everything went well. I must also say that I did not witness any drama or madness at the embassy. I will go there this week for the collection of the e-passport.

The following are the items anybody who has the old passport and wants the e-passport should go there with to avoid delay or come tomorrow:

1. Your old passport

2. Application form

3. Payment confirmation slip (of the $65 online payment)

4. Passport acknowledgement slip (it will show the date of your appointment)

5. £20 postal order to Nigeria High Commission London (processing fee)

I tried to laugh but ended up getting annoyed, after reading all these stories!
What peeves me beyond comprehension is the attitude of the "oppressed Nigerians"!
You can sense a sign of resignation "to fate", like there is nothing we can do, we just have to continue "suffering and smiling", no matter the kind of extortion, indignity or intimidation, these criminals in uniform put us through?

As a nation, a people, for how long shall we continue to put up with every inhuman treatment we are subjected to?
What is really wrong with the mentality of an average Nigerian? Why must it be that you need a military man to bail yu out for carrying a genuine Laptop (The same military men you say u dont want to rule you?)
Why is it that for the sake of self, we will overlook evil being meted to another fellow?

You might say all these is grammar and add some sarcastic comment that makes you feel cool but the issue is "As long as you put up with these "official scams", it will keep getting worse and your children would have to put up with worse ones.
I am an I.T. person by training and l would be lost without my Laptop, even for a few hours (same goes with my phones, and l take pride in packing two expensive smart phones since they are not only for basic telecoms, they are also my work tool).

I wish l can find a way to "provoke Nigerians to anger" so that we can start in our own little, persistent but lawful ways, to protest, amid respectfully, that we know our rights and we demand for it (even if you dont have the means to enforce it, let the silly, thieving Policeman know that you know he is committing wrong, evil, for what he is doing).

Extortion is a criminal offense. whether by a civilian or a Police officer.

Dressing well does not make you a "good person" and dressing casually does not make you a criminal, infact, the criminal is more inclined to "dress powerfully", just to deflect suspicion.

I hope that I.G Onovo reads this nairaland, l hope he has the conscience to re-train the murderers he has armed with Ak-47, the right to kill!

I will not pay a dime to any Policeman that arrests me for possessing a Laptop. I cant even remember the receipts of a phone l bought recently, how much more a year-old Laptop! And in my house, we have four Laptops (every one has one, including my two grown boys).
I simply pass the old Laptop to my children when l buy a more modern one (bad Daddy! )

I will simply pay the "sacrifice" and politely wear put the patience of the police men.
There are better ways to track those doing Yahoo (what if they even encrypt the "Hard Drive" they use in committing Yahoo and it does not even appear at boot-up!) than harassing and extorting from law-abiding Nigerians.
Enough is Enough. Stand-up for your right to a decent life.

My ten quid.
BTW: where is our sense of charity? If you're a qualified lawyer, maybe out of work, why cant you advertise your skills to defend an oppressed stranger? Its more fulfilling than loafing around and who knows what may come unexpectedly from it?
We all can do some good in someones life, l bet.

while it is certainly true that most of us grew up trying to do M.J' dancing stunts and the fact he was one of the best Pop singer around, i cant but feel sorrow in my heart for this man.
it is quite funny how we look at people of fame without realizing how empty and unfulfilled they really are.
this guy's life is an example of how not to live yours if Heaven pour out blessings on you and you make resounding breakthrough in whatever you are doing.
I cant but curse the day this guy chose that he what to be white and his advisors (if he had any) that did not deter him from such a stupid act.
I cant but aso curse the day he chose to become member of the satanic church, this well know fact (which explains some of the scenes in his musical videos) cant but butress the fact that satan do not give any a free gift. it is a moment for people who feels they are at the pinnacle of life to re-think and make the best use of their staying on the earth for good.

now my golden question is 'If truely there is heaven, where now will be M.J (member of satanic church, san fracisco) be, with satan?'

your guess is good as mine[/i]

Michael Jackson is a sad story in how not to hate your skin color.
He's gone . . . but never got to pass on his DNA to his children.

I've seen several victims of Vitiligo but I'm yet to see one where patches of the person's original skin is completely wiped out and their noses awkwardly chiselled.
