I guess the next auction will have low yields because of the recession data; the CBN will probably lower interest rates in response to that data.

What exactly happened there with Hodor? I'm quite confused. How did his decision to hold the door in the present affect him in the past?

How was that small creature disturbing the neighbourhood. It looks smaller than a monitor lizard; just long.

We will take over the sponsorship of the contest.

Ok, I'll talk with Dygeasy. I've been too pre-occupied with other things, but I'll make time for this shortly.

This was the spoiler-free thread... until Seun decided to change the title this season. I wouldn't presume to say I know why he did so, but I have a healthy guess or two.
No time.

Ok. .. I guess it's high time I threw in the towel on sports betting.. ..

I've "zeroed" my account within space of two weeks.... Winning 5times and losing everything to bookies later on. My only hope of making a fortune today was dashed by the Arsenal vs Aston Villa match. Had it on over 1.5 cards but sadly, the boys played humbly. ..


Unfollows thread cry

Abeg mek person help me rise. ...
Sorry. This is what happens. That's why we have taken a stand against sports betting.

Dygeasy, don't you think this is another opportunity for u to air your view once more about NL pageant and also make the OP understand that the major sponsor of the competition is from a sport betting company. Because with this decision, the objective of the competition will be compromise and destroy
We will probably have to stage a hostile takeover of the sponsorship of Miss Nairaland. We don't agree with Merrybet's role as the sponsor.

Webmasters › Re: Mark Zuckerberg Commends Jobberman Founders As Internet.org Free Basics Launches by Seun(mod): 3:58pm On May 14, 2016
The Jobberman founders deserve to be commended by Zuckerberg because they created a real business employing lots and lots of people and they have an inspiring story that is quite similar to Zuckerberg's story. I am just a weird geek who runs a web forum. There's no comparison. wink

Btw, I think Nairaland now works properly on Free Basics. Pls let me know if you experience any more errors.
Christianity Etc › Re: On the Supernatural & Juju (Black Magic) by Seun(mod):
'Juju' is just a bunch of tricks. It's our local flavor of the art of deception known as magic that is practiced all over the world.

As I was perusing through NL one day, I came across a thread where a doctor on NL shared the tale of a girl was brought to the hospital where he worked and this girl was said to have been complaining of extreme stomach ache. When a scan was done, the doctors noticed something that they hadn't seen before- There were live insects seen crawling around the walls of her stomach and internal organs. According to the doctor, there was nothing anyone could do about her condition and after few hours, she died. Now, under medical cross examination, there was no explanation for how these insects found their way and were able to survive inside her. This girl was said to have been inflicted by the person she had sex with trough Juju, supposedly for money rituals. If a supernatural force from where whosoever did this evil to the girl drew his power from didn't exist, then how was this possible?
If it is true that the person that posted the report is a doctor, and the story he recounted is true, and the parasites seen in the stomach were indeed insects, then there was an easy treatment option available: medically induced vomiting. Why didn't they try that? Also, you said the so-called insects were crawling around in other organs. If that is true, how come she only felt pain in her stomach? This story makes no sense.

Growing up, I lived close to a popular university here in Nigeria, and one day I witnessed a cultist attack on a cult member of another cult group. Right in my presence this guy was shot multiple times with a pistol and the bullet didn't penetrate his body, it was not until his pursuers caught up to him and after realizing their guns were useless, they used a machete and cut him with it till he died.
Now, how was this guy able to withstand the effect of bullets?
This is also disappointing. So a bunch of armed civilians were chasing a man, who was running for his life. They shot at him multiple times and he didn't fall down. Didn't it occur to you that maybe the shots missed? It is quite common for civilian gunmen to fail to hit their targets, especially when they are running and the target is also running. It's hard enough to hit a stationary target and I don't think cultists are trained formally in marksmanship. Even if the shots didn't miss, he may have been wearing a bulletproof vest, or the bullets may have only grazed him due to the distance. Even if none of these obvious explanations occurred to you, doesn't it seem ridiculous that the cultist was wise enough to get a 'juju' to protect himself from gunshots but he didn't get a 'machete protection juju' as well, knowing that cultists use matchets?

When I was in secondary school, I had a female friend who traveled to her village for a ceremony, and one morning as she woke up to urinate, she stepped on the doormat in front of her room and she became paralyzed instantly. Not only that, her legs began to swell up. She was taken to different hospitals but nothing could be done to curb her strange illness. It was not until she contacted a spiritualist that the cause of her illness was revealed. Now this isn't a heresay story. She told me herself. She even showed me pictures of her legs.
So a girl developed a sudden medical condition with her legs. The ill-equipped doctors in the hospitals she visited could not offer a convincing diagnosis or an effective treatment for the condition. She turned to a spiritualist, and he claimed that the cause of the illness is spiritual. What is supernatural about this? We all know that our healthcare system is poor. If you have a rare disease, you will not get a proper diagnosis in many Nigerian hospitals. That's why rich people often travel abroad when they have serious medical problems. And as for the spiritualist saying that her problem is spiritual, of course that's expected. If he says the problem isn't spiritual he won't get any money from her.

I used these stories because they are ones I saw with my eyes and life experiences from people I can validate them from. Aside from these ones, I have heard other stories of people who were struck supernaturally, with ailments that couldn't be explained medically. Stories of people who were sick almost to the point of death, but all body processes were functioning properly, and in medical terms, they were healthy.
These stories are deeply disappointing, bro. You should re-assess them more critically because they don't prove the existence of juju.

I have heard of people who sacrificed their fellow humans and family members to make money, and they actually made the money.
One common thread in the stories of all really rich people who were not born into money is that they really, really wanted to be rich and kept trying different things to achieve it until they eventually found a way. If a person whose love for money is so great that he would sacrifice the life of a fellow human being eventually gets money by one means or the other, that doesn't imply that the sacrifice was responsible.

Everyday we hear of stories of people how were kidnapped, some killed, with some of their body parts supposedly stolen for ritualistic purposes. If these rituals didn't actually work, people wouldn't invest into it right?
It doesn't prove that the rituals work. It proves that people believe that the rituals work. And that's primarily because people are deceived
.
I have heard stories of people who claimed they were once evil and they wielded special powers but these powers were overcome by the power of the christian God.
Those people are just liars.

Agriculture › Re: I'm Curious: Why Cannot Tomato Be Grown In The South West by Seun(mod): 2:57pm On May 12, 2016
My guesses:
1) Land is more expensive in the South. Tomatoes are probably not worth planting on expensive land.
2) The rainy weather probably promotes the activities of pests and diseases that attack tomato plants.
I'm probably wrong but it's entertaining to try to guess these things.

Actually, he's the fourth richest black American. He was worth $3b sometime ago but the value of his stock fell and he's now worth $580m. The richest black man in AMerica is Michael Jordan, followed by Tiger Woods, then P Diddy. Please do not be misinformed by this.

I get same issue on Q10, Airtel Network.

Have to use VPN.
But only happens to FrontPage.

It ain't Cookie or Cache.
It should be an issue with how your server handles specific IP request I'll say.
I wish I could reproduce it to figure out what's going on. Those with this issue should pls keep reporting their networks, phones, & browsers.

Family › Re: 6 ways women can avoid domestic violence. by Seun(mod):
kevinberry:
you cannot preach against domestic violence and support verbal abuse both tends to affect their target negatively
Men and women have the same number of mouths but men are 50% stronger than women of the same weight and usually weigh more. If a woman verbally abuses a man, he is free to answer verbally since he has a mouth too, but he must not escalate it to physical violence. Ok?
Family › Re: 6 ways women can avoid domestic violence. by Seun(mod): 8:07pm On May 09, 2016
I am so sorry about this topic. We have dropped it from the home page. Victim blaming is something that should never be condoned. It's not bad to say, 'here are the things you can do to protect yourself', but to say that the people who have been abused are the "main cause" is evil.

donem:
God bless you sir. u spoke my mind.

@ seun pls I beg u with the name of God desist from taking such action. reasons are
1. Your traffick would drastically reduce
2. Nobody is being forced to bet
3. 99% of Nairalanders here are adults
4. sport betting is a risk just like any other venture, (so why stop a man bent on taking risk?)
5. Sport betting ain't illegal anywhere in the world
6. If u say u are concerned by the financial losses, can u like nairalanders more than themselves?
7. You would be viewed as autocratic
8. lastly in this dwindling enonomy, sport betting is the only succour for the masses.
1. It will affect our traffic, but we will get some new traffic from the legitimate business discussions that will fill the vacuum.
4. There are good risks and bad risks. Sports betting and online forex will leave the average participant poorer.
6. Many people dont understand maths and probability, so they don't understand the magnitude of the risk.
7. A small price to pay for the dramatic improvements we expect to see in the business, sports and investment sections.
8. It's a false succour that makes the poor even poorer by taking their time and also their money.
