Captain America : Civil War 8/10 deeply satisfying for me I love the fight scenes with the Wakandan Prince, and that vibranium suit is totally mad. I was happy the central story did not revolve around another evil super powered being.
Suicide Squad Don't really know how to rate it but I'm going to rate it a 6.5-7/10
Trina0936: You are also Nigerian. So you also dont see beyond your nose. Living or buying citizenship in a foreign country doesn't make you one. No excuse for babymamaism. Its their personal choice because even most whites prefer getting married.
And who told you marriage is a prerequisite for a lasting and satisfying relationship? So because everyone is getting married, they should also do it, right? isn't that 'crowd mentality'? I consider them to be as good as married couples, probably even better Cox some folks are married to yield to societal pressure and fulfil all righteousness; not because love and desire for Loving companionship is involved.
Another unnecessary showdown between the legislature and the executive arms of government. Why create another paramilitary outfit when we already have the civil defence and the police These guys are clueless on how to effectively tackle Nigeria's problems.
Trina0936: Baby mama Wonder why they can't just get married even with the kids.
What's the important thing in a relationship, some legal formality or happiness? But I trust Nigerians, they don't see beyond their noses. Plus, some people don't like dealing with legalities of marriage, especially in a place like the UK.
polite2: 5years of relationship, while their mates are celebrating 5 years of marriage.
Otondoo
Aren't you the Otondo here? what's the difference if I may ask? if not some legal formalities that may or may not add any real value to a relationship . The most important thing in any relationship is not marriage but love, relationships are about companionship, not about marriage. Nigerians and closed mindedness. Plus not everyone will like the legal implications of marriage especially in western countries.
Misterdhee1: It really seems Samsung doesn't consider Nigerian market at all when manufacturing their phones. Or do they expect us to spend hundreds of thousands on phones with mediocre battery capacities?
Why talking like an ignorant dude? Dude, Flagship phones are not known for battery capacity anywhere in the world and people have been buying them. If battery is your concern, then that is reason why they have the quick charge feature. I don't even think anyone struggling what power supply for his home should be buying an S8.
Reptyle: The role occupied by Professor Itse Sagay is not formally recognised by the constitution. He is at best a member of the President's "kitchen cabinet" who was appointed without any recourse to the legislature.
I doubt very much that the Senate has any legal right to invite him over a statement he can easily argue that he made in his personal capacity as a Nigerian citizen.
Like I said during the Hamidu Alli debacle, the Nigerian senate needs to pick its fight carefully. There is no need issuing ineffectual and pointless decrees and summons when it will only end up making itself look irrelevant in the scheme of things.
Itse Sagay might be a lot of things but one thing he has going for him is a deep knowledge of the Nigerian constitution both as a legal practitioner and a leading academic in that field. I can almost bet that he will be releasing a statement before the end of today trashing the senate's summon and upbraiding the hell out of them.
According to the Senate, Itse Sagay "doesn't thrive in peace", and the truth is that the man has been rather confrontational or antagonistic in his utterances concerning the relationship between the executive and the legislature on some recent issues. This is not his first time.
omenkaLives: I am waiting on the "freedom of speech" activists to come cheer themselves over this obvious anomaly. Just look what Saraki has turned the Senate into.
This is highly disgraceful.
Saraki has officially become the proverbial maggot inside the corn. It is a pity Buhari, just for political correctness, hands off the NASS election. This would serve as a good lesson to whosoever would succeed him in that office.
If the law makers form a strong pact amongst their selves, no president can choose their leadership for them. Personally, I love that's the legislature is not a rubber stamp legislature, even if people don't like the guys there.
Qmerit: What some people don't know is that SURE we have separation of powers in executive, Judiciary and legislature. The same way you criticise the executives and expect it to take it by force whether you are right or not is same way legislature should bear and take it by force from people when the legislators re criticised. You can't be happy criticising only executive and want to enjoy freedom from being criticised... the senate should wake up to know that the era of don't talk to the senate whether good or bad has long past..... So they should come to NL and beginning to invite majority of us who criticise them on a daily basis.... Rogues in Agbada... who don't know party differences in sharing formula. Budget that would ve direct/indiret impart to the common man/woman in the streets are still not pass since NOV..2016.. what a shame...
Unfortunately Nairalanders are private citizens, not public officials handling important posts.
SAMBHOSS: Just googled...... Not saying you're wrong...but also saw that we use just 10%.........others...more than 10% but less than 60%
But for me.....I think we use 30%......
We have places for dedicated function and association areas. If we cut out a little part of your brain you think isn't being used, you wouldn't be normal again. The 10% claim is a myth.
Seems like cars have always had radios, but they didn't.
Here's the story: One evening, in 1929, two young men named William Lear and Elmer Wavering drove their girlfriends to a lookout point high above the Mississippi River town of Quincy, Illinois, to watch the sunset. It was a romantic night to be sure, but one of the women observed that it would be even nicer if they could listen to music in the car. Lear and Wavering liked the idea. Both men had tinkered with radios (Lear served as a radio operator in the U.S. Navy during World War I) and it wasn't long before they were taking apart a home radio and trying to get it to work in a car.
But it wasn't easy: automobiles have ignition switches, generators, spark plugs, and other electrical equipment that generate noisy static interference, making it nearly impossible to listen to the radio when the engine was running. One by one, Lear and Wavering identified and eliminated each source of electrical interference. When they finally got their radio to work, they took it to a radio convention in Chicago. There they met Paul Galvin, owner of Galvin Manufacturing Corporation. He made a product called a "battery eliminator", a device that allowed battery-powered radios to run on household AC current. But as more homes were wired for electricity, more radio manufacturers made AC-powered radios.
Galvin needed a new product to manufacture. When he met Lear and Wavering at the radio convention, he found it. He believed that mass-produced, affordable car radios had the potential to become a huge business. Lear and Wavering set up shop in Galvin's factory, and when they perfected their first radio, they installed it in his Studebaker. Then Galvin went to a local banker to apply for a loan. Thinking it might sweeten the deal, he had his men install a radio in the banker's Packard. Good idea, but it didn't work -- Half an hour after the installation, the banker's Packard caught on fire. (They didn't get the loan.) Galvin didn't give up. He drove his Studebaker nearly 800 miles to Atlantic City to show off the radio at the 1930 Radio Manufacturers Association convention. Too broke to afford a booth, he parked the car outside the convention hall and cranked up the radio so that passing conventioneers could hear it. That idea worked -- He got enough orders to put the radio into production.
WHAT'S IN A NAME That first production model was called the 5T71. Galvin decided he needed to come up with something a little catchier. In those days many companies in the phonograph and radio businesses used the suffix "ola" for their names -Radiola, Columbiola, and Victrola were three of the biggest. Galvin decided to do the same thing, and since his radio was intended for use in a motor vehicle, he decided to call it the Motorola. But even with the name change, the radio still had problems: When Motorola went on sale in 1930, it cost about $110 uninstalled, at a time when you could buy a brand-new car for $650, and the country was sliding into the Great Depression, (By that measure, a radio for a new car would cost about $3,000 today.)
In 1930, it took two men several days to put in a car radio --The dashboard had to be taken apart so that the receiver and a single speaker could be installed, and the ceiling had to be cut open to install the antenna. These early radios ran on their own batteries, not on the car battery, so holes had to be cut into the floorboard to accommodate them. The installation manual had eight complete diagrams and 28 pages of instructions. Selling complicated car radios that cost 20 percent of the price of a brand-new car wouldn't have been easy in the best of times, let alone during the Great Depression --Galvin lost money in 1930 and struggled for a couple of years after that. But things picked up in 1933 when Ford began offering Motorola's pre-installed at the factory.
In 1934 they got another boost when Galvin struck a deal with B.F. Goodrich tire company to sell and install them in its chain of tire stores. By then the price of the radio, with installation included, had dropped to $55. The Motorola car radio was off and running. (The name of the company would be officially changed from Galvin Manufacturing to "Motorola" in 1947.) In the meantime, Galvin continued to develop new uses for car radios. In 1936, the same year that it introduced push-button tuning, it also introduced the Motorola Police Cruiser, a standard car radio that was factory preset to a single frequency to pick up police broadcasts.
In 1940 he developed the first handheld two- way radio -- The Handy-Talkie --for the U. S. Army. A lot of the communications technologies that we take for granted today were born in Motorola labs in the years that followed World War II. In 1947 they came out with the first television for under $200.In 1956 the company introduced the world's first pager; in 1969 came the radio and television equipment that was used to televise Neil Armstrong's first steps on the Moon. In 1973 it invented the world's first handheld cellular phone. Today Motorola is one of the largest cell phone manufacturers in the world. And it all started with the car radio.
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO the two men who installed the first radio in Paul Galvin's car? Elmer Wavering and William Lear, ended up taking very different paths in life. Wavering stayed with Motorola. In the 1950's he helped change the automobile experience again when he developed the first automotive alternator, replacing inefficient and unreliable generators. The invention lead to such luxuries as power windows, power seats, and, eventually, air-conditioning. Lear also continued inventing. He holds more than 150 patents. Remember eight-track tape players? Lear invented that. But what he's really famous for are his contributions to the field of aviation. He invented radio direction finders for planes, aided in the invention of the autopilot, designed the first fully automatic aircraft landing system, and in 1963 introduced his most famous invention of all, the Lear Jet, the world's first mass- produced, affordable business jet. (Not bad for a guy who dropped out of school after the eighth grade.)
Sometimes it is fun to find out how some of the many things that we take for granted actually came into being! AND It all started with a woman's suggestion!! Copied: talking electronics. Com
Beautiful history, it just goes to show how nothing good comes easy.
teebaxy: He left at the appointed time, everything that happens to us in life, is for a reason.....many are not in prison but have lost their lives on one thing or the other....in summary- Always give thanks to God
That sounds like resignation to fate. He left coz some concerned people did something, not because a man in the sky willed it. Until we Nigerians decide to take our destiny into our hands, we'll remain where we are.
LeView1: Just the idea of being given an allowance makes me feel so uneasy. Could be the fact that I'm of a certain age now and that I've enjoyed financial independence for so long but I just can't imagine being given pocketmoney. She is an equal in this relationship, and she should have a say on how the money is spent.
Money he works for by himself? common, ladies and entitlement mentality. SMH
JustinSlayer69: SMART people. Minna - Abuja is 30 minutes longer than Kaduna - Abuja if roads are good.
If you look at some posts, you would see some people saying it's shorter.
I used to think that Minna is very far from Abuja, but I just checked my Google map and discovered the it's actually closer than Kaduna. Much as I've never been to Minna, I think Kaduna is the best option.
sammhi: Nobody asked why there was a fight ? It is she has beaten her ! Stupid gist ... some women would be first to land the man slap and when he retaliate she turns around to say she was beaten . A man that married you won't beat you if ... Let's get the if
Typical victim blaming. It is people like you that blame a woman for tempting a man when they are raped or abused. I find that nonsense repugnant.
JustinSlayer69: IBB and Abdulsalam are 2 ex presidents who don't like their own people.
The bad roads...irregular electricity (so-called Power State)...very scarce water. It's shocking the 2 of them are living in opulence amidst poverty.
You would be shocked at the level of development in the state. I learnt Abdulsalam got the Minna-Abuja road contract and messed it up. Am very surprised when they didn't lobby for the International Airport to be shifted to Minna temporarily.
Who would want to travel all the way from Minna to Abuja? especially after a flight.
EternalBeing: Tackle it medically first, and spiritually. Go for medicals and if they said it not a medical problem, the earlier you go to MFM Church for Deliverance to fire that arrow of impotence back to the sender the better for you. Excesive mastubation caused this permanent damage. Sex is addictive and it has been scientifically proven that excesive sex make people duller and less productive. devil knows this and use this to waste so meny glorious Destinies. There are 2 bloods in Man; the red blood cell erythrocytes carries life-oxygen, the white blood cell lymphocytes carries your protection and defence (spiritually too). Spam is cells; white blood cell. The more you waste it unnecessarily, the more defenceless you (and your Glory) become to microbes and even spiritual scavengers. I've not seen any one that genuinely totally submitted to GOD and regret it later, unless those self-deceiving Christians. Like myself, most of my genuine Christian mates are doing fine now. Unless you are married, abstainance makes you spitually Strong and invincible. To run away from sin is not a favour to GOD but a sure protection for your Glory and Destiny.
Mallam, from which authority did you learn this bullcrap?
helpforever: I can remember early 2015 or late 2014 when I went to a popular brothel in Bariga to try out my luck again. About 4 prostitutes came to meet me so I will pick them, they were all flaunting their body around me. Then immediately noticed the way I looked helpless and confused and started feeling my joystick. Speaking edo language to themselves. I'm not sure, but I think they noticed something was not right or so and they all left to look for another customer
Stop Spiritualising your problem, go see a doctor. Nigerians view everything as spiritual, that's one of the reasons why we are behind the rest of the world.
KINGwax007: It's still 'chinco', it's worthy to be feared.
You can be on a high speed and the parts may start falling off bits by bits until e remain u, in a chair and the steering wheel
You are trying to mock the Chinese when we as Nigerians are still struggling to produce toothpicks and pencils. What have you even contributed to the world of tech that is comparable to a 'chinco' product. you know what it takes to even achieve this? do you think the USA and Germany got it right in one day?
The RFID is as small as a grain of rice. It is now being used in Student's ID cards, and in body of employees. Scientific researchers claimed that it is best suited in the right hand or forehead, where body's processes runs most to keep the device's battery from burning out.
"And he causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark IN their right hand, or IN their foreheads"
And so? the mark of God, is it also a piece of tech? If yes, how is it different or why does God choose tech, if no what is it? You guys will just pick up some ambiguous verse and try to force it down our throat as some fulfilled prophecy. Anyway, you can go back to the stone age if you afraid of technology.
