[s]People. Grrr. Fuel rationing is obviously far worse than price increase. If the price is high, those that need it most will be able to afford it and the rest of us will naturally begin to limit our consumption of it. Rationing, on the other hand, isn't even really enforceable. It's just annoying, and like all stupid laws it rewards the disobedient. [/s]

Needlelady:
Na goodlooking we go chop? Most goodlooking guys are bisexual anyway.

And most good looking girls are trans-sexual?

Maybe her mum is a masochist.

LOL @ "libertarian communism".

Libertarians are extreme capitalists while communists are extreme socialists.

Be careful o.

So you don't think it's utterly ridiculous and completely stupid and pointless and insulting to Nigerians?

Start here: http://www.onemanga.com/Bleach/1/ Read from right to left (opposite direction).

The purpose of making Lagos like Abuja is to benefit the people of Lagos, right? If you demolish their houses in an age where building is more expensive than ever, how does that benefit them? Such things only benefit the mega-rich, many of whom are based in Abuja (political connections).

She may have loved you before but she changed her mind. Love is not a permanent emotion.

Hmmm, sounds true. How much is significant, then?

coolier:
We are more like family friends. I've known her since I was a child. I've spoken to her a couple of times and she keeps telling me she cannot help it, that when she is angry she gets out of control.

The reason she gets out of control when she is angry is because she has not slept in prison for a few months. Nonsense.

I can't abandon her, every other person who's been close to her in the past had run away and I know fully well she needs help.

A good prison will also provide her with a psychiatrist who will help her with her fist-control problem. Why doesn't she take out her anger on someone who is strong enough to beat her back?

oyb:
while i do not subscribe to kids beating their parents, are you sure u know the whole story?

who knows what dark family secrets may be responsible for this?

could the father/boyfriends have molested your friend in her childhood while the mother engaged in denial?

_{this does happen. . .}

There is no excuse for such behaviour.
If she was molested by her father,
she should go and report her father to the police.

Why are they wasting their budget on celluloid? I won't shout o.
(I guess I feel jealous that I don't have such money to waste on my own movies.)

The current flashbacks are probably more interesting than the upcoming battle.

Clever!

The topic is potentially offensive to muslims, hence it has been locked. Thanks for understanding.

Sould society versus Aizen battle has begun! No more pointless fighting in hueco muendo.

Slow-paced.

you can't just walk into a market to buy a gun in the US. u have to buy from a verified dealer and get a mental checkup plus a gun license.

When guns are being sold openly, it's easy for a few to slip through the cracks. Plus, getting a gun license doesn't imply that you are incapable of committing a crime. Plus, a criminal can steal a gun from someone with a license. A young criminal can take his dad's licensed gun from the safe and use it. Etc.

automated or machine guns are inaccessible to most people.

Criminals do not need automated guns to kill.

Bottom line is; there is crime in Nigeria but not as much as there is in the western world.

There is crime in Nigeria, but it is not as deadly as crime abroad. In Nigeria, if you get into a fight, you may be beaten up badly. In the western world, if you get into a fight, you may be shot. Do you see the difference? The few criminals that have access to guns, you can see how ruthless they are. Now what if every jobless good-for-nothing on your street could get a gun through a friend of a friend?

If you look at the crime in Niger Delta, it's bad because these boys have machine guns and rocket launchers and speedboats. I believe that people should be free to protect themselves, but not at the expense of lives. A dead man cannot enjoy freedom.

People should be trained to protect themselves through non-lethal means. A pepper spray may not kill your attacker, but it will help you defend yourself. Same goes for tranquilizer guns and tasers in the hands of police. The use of force doesn't have to be lethal. Self-defense is not about killing a criminal; it's about not getting killed. If you can protect yourself without taking a life, then you're morally obligated to do so.

Then buy lots of good cinematography books from amazon.com, and practice. Oops, I forgot lights.

Source?

She was stupid to get pregnant 5 times for the same guy. Is it not her body? Do they not have condoms or contraceptive pills in her country?

A child whose parents are loving and attentive is better groomed.
The society you live in cannot groom your child for you.

@oyb: and your point is?

NTFS is newer and better.

Who determines whether the price is 'good' or not?

I'll just have to wait for the price to come down.

Wow, you're right

JosBoy4Lif:
Seun, there are cars on nairaland being advertised @ 350K

Just invest another 100K to fixing her up and you will be rollin'

You're right. I guess this settles everything. But I'm afraid of engine trouble and such.

I have a new story. It's about a convict seeking to be recognized as a super-hero. Corrupted by bad company but strongly influenced and inspired to change by his mother's love. The opening scene takes place in the gloomiest ward of a Nigerian prison. It's a redemption tale.

I'm not going to post the logline publicly this time, but I'm going to share it with African movie lovers to see what questions they ask and how they respond to the tale. The two people I've shared it with seem to think it's pretty cute.

I'll develop the new outline later this week. One paragraph for each important scene. It will be great.

As before, I won't write anything I can't clearly see in my mind. I'm not a writer; I'm a filmmaker. I don't concoct words; I create moving images. What I write is just to remind me of what I've seen, so I can recreate it in my movie for all to enjoy. Yeah!

Depends on the idea.
Mostly, you need a great concept.
Then you need to attach the right talent.
Then you need sponsors.

<sarcasm>
Clearly, the UN reporter was lying against the Anambra state health commissioner.
Afterall, politicians never lie. When they are wrong, they always admit it.
