@helma: congratulations. Can you post picture of your supermarket? Thanks!

If she had been dead for 2 or 3 years, does it mean she wrote the exam as a ghost?
Why is a ghost writing JAMB?

the description matched perfectly

What description? "A very beautiful girl" is all you told us and I have met very many of such.

1. the name matched

Identity theft is a possible explanation (if you're not fibbing).

3. The home address she gave me was correct except that she changed the house number

Did you visit the the 'incorrect' address she gave you to see if someone who looks like her lives there? What if it's a prank by the girl to give you a wrong name and address in order to mislead you? That would explain her refusal to be escorted home. Perhaps she didn't enjoy the date as much as you did?

All blondes are not dumb and all lawyers are not evil, yet we tell blonde jokes and lawyer jokes.

How did they know that the girl you saw was the same girl the others were looking for? Did you take her picture and show it to them, or was it the name that was the same? A general description like "a dark girl" means nothing!

Many people run away from home because they are being mistreated. This girl may have done the same. If they do not have her body, the fact that you saw her at the JAMB office means she probably just ran away. Duh!

And what is "in the future" from your own bible translation supposed to mean?

It's not that I disagree with the aricle I posted, but you can't attack me based on its finer points.

I just want to find out what you think about the article. I'm not responsible for it.

Always giving your child a time-out no matter what he did ain't helping either. It will eventually give him the notion that he can get away with anything

Since when did non-violent child discipline become reduced to just "time-out"? There are so many methods you need to be aware of. Denial of privileges is probably the most versatile system, so "time out" is not the issue here. You can deny them of TV. You can deny them of unecessary snacks. You can withdraw phone privileges. Duh!

There are so many methods we refuse to even consider because of our brutality mentality:

If them western country wants to spare the rod, they should let a murderer, robbers go free - give them a time-out.

Isn't the prison system itself a form of "time-out"?

there is no time out in real life

There is no beating in civilized society either. If you offend against your boss, your university lecturer, your president, your husband or wife, and they are civilized, will they beat you? No. Unless of course they have beaten as kids to the point where they now think it's appropriate to go around beating people that piss them off.

What is bad is bad. It is not a question of degree. I can't lay a hand on a child of mine unless the offence is that such a child was caught beating someone else. Even in that scenario, beating might not be the answer.

Happy birthday! Happy birthday!! Happy birthday!!!

Some economists have explained that voting is not a rational from the point of view of any individual - your single vote won't make any difference. So if you want your favorite candidate to win, you also need to mobilize others.

Hmm. Do you think the Playstation 3 will fare better than the Xbox 360?

What about Sim City 2 and Railroad Tycoon?

People kept claiming that children born with Sickle Cell Amenia were evil spirit children. Now sleep paralysis is equal to sleeping with a ghost or evil spirit? Shame on us and our silly superstitions!!

Well, what we are saying is that we need to correct our minds, and disregard such irrelevancies.

How about this one? Smart blur at double size plus some blemish removal with the clone stamp.

I don't think I have the right to dream about Nigeria because nigeria doesn't belong to me. But I can dream about the things that belong to me in Nigeria.
- I can dream about Nairaland, that it wil grow.
- I can dream about my bank account, that I'll have millions in it.
- I can dream about my future home, that it will be full of love.

The problem about dreaming about Nigeria, which belongs to none of us, is that our dreams about Nigeria will conflict with each other, which will cause fighting and political conflicts among us.

It's better to dream about the aspect of Nigeria that belongs to you. Your self, properties, money, career, etc.

"30 days hate September, April June and November!"

There's no such thing as September 31. Was this a joke?

collynzo: This guy looks and sounds intelligent

Chris Okotie doesn't sound intelligent to me. He knows nothing about Nigeria's problems. He just makes the loudest noise. His ability to use long words and convoluted grammar should not be mistaken for intelligence.

Sincerity and honesty will pay you on the long run if you are consistent. Haters be damned!

Thanks b2dl.

bagoma, salsera: the idea is that Germans are efficient people. They only talk when it's necessary.

@lunafish: Now, that's an enlightened African woman! Please make sure you marry a man who feels the same way or so your knowledge won't be wasted. You may not be able to stop daddy from beating them.

@kaleche: Welcome to Nairaland. I hope you're enjoying the 'Cuando Seas Mia' show in Kenya?

Fire on. We're very much expectant!

Read To Tithe Or Not To Tithe. Those teachings are not compatible with the New Testament.

A mere house for 5 million? I can't afford it o. Even if it was something more important, I can't afford it!

I hope so, because the forces that threaten our peace are formidable indeed.

He was filming animal documentaries in a bid to make people more aware about endangered animals.

Don't apologize to me. Apologize to yourself. You're the one who doesn't get the joke!
