Foreign Affairs › Re: Russia Invades Georgia - Guardian UK by Seun(mod): 5:30pm On Aug 12, 2008

Glad there's a cease-fire so people can rebuild their lives.

A ceasefire is not for people to "rebuild their lives". It's for people to count the dead before a new killing spree begins.

That you are a member of the so called INSTITUTE OF CHARTERED ECONOMISTS OF NIGERIA (ICEN) does not stop the body from being fake

Every "recognized" organization started out like ICEN. Let's just pray that ICEN certification doesn't become compulsory.

I don't think Mukina2 changed your posts. Moderators can't modify your posts. They can only change the title.

lucabrasi:
i get it now,but the fact still remains that you are attributing way too much skills to simple illiterate villagers just cause you want to prove your point,even if its possible to shoot blanks the traditional way,sleight of hand,trick mirrors e.t.c is way out, as for going to Abuja to be a traditional medicine practitioner,im sure u will come back here and have enough stories to tell after they have given you their own fire baptism

You don't have to be educated to trick gullible people. Look at famous Yahoo boys. Are they particularly smart? No!

Seun, why re u giving out free ideas, many of which i've thought of already! Let each writer-contestant think up their own ideas please.

Ok, I'll stop. There are two reasons why I decided to post those story ideas:
(1) To help writers with their brainstorming process. (2) To silence those who think I'm just looking for ideas.

sisqology:
Hmmm, let me see what i can write@ Seun

Nice! I can't wait to read your story.

@lwise: you sound interesting. I may contact you later - just to chat, though - because my focus is on this contest.

What happens if you have more than one story you can work with?

If or when that happens, I'll just select the best one and return the others for you to use elsewhere.

Focus, please.

Here's another list of random story points:
- School Excursions: hospital, zoo,
- Extra-curricular activities like debating, quiz competitions, chess, sports.
- Effectiveness and morality of corporal punishment.
- Rich students, poor students, spoilt students, abused students.
- Lesson teachers.
- Effect of parents' divorce or family trouble on schoolwork.
- Sex education.

Well, you're right. I think reality shows should be intellectually stimulating, like Who Wants To be A Millionaire.

Actually, I deleted the threads in question. Siena is a lovely person, but sometimes
he forgets to tell the administrator before making up new rules! Does Autos really need a mod?

Then you have absolutely no reason to worry as regards security because with a black skin, you can very much blend.

I don't think being black is enough protection. What about your foreign accent?

If they want to become a top 5 bank in 5 years, they need to mind their customer service. Moved to banking section.

She will tell that the person is one of her extended brothers or toasters.

She has already admitted to having toasters. What more do you want her to tell you?

Only good practice makes good perfect, bad practice makes baddest/worstest perfect!!!

That is laziness talking. There's nothing like bad practice. The more you write, the better you become.

She was not alive during the war. She does not live in the country where the war was fought.
Yet she won't let it go just because she happens to be born to Igbos. How does that help anyone?

yicob:
@seun, i have 2 stories that fit in the category though each is not more than 3 pages (750 words). should i submit? though am not particular about the prize.

Yes. The advantage of early submission is that if your entry needs some work I can give you free notes on what and what you need to change to improve your chances of winning. Winning is a ego-boosting reward in itself. Then there's the joy of seeing your story in a movie. Then there's the token prize.
