No jokes o... A random extremist can walk up and shoot or stab a seller of such a book.

Imagine how long they have been targeting the author's life! Over 3 decades!

I still say it's high time people start paying them back in their own coin.

Trust me, this people can cry wolf more than any other set of people, just like christians.

Kajaard:
You can download it from here.

Thanks a million.

Angelfrost:
That will be very hard now due to the controversial nature of the book.

Most book sellers won't even display it on their shelves.

Hmmmm. Even in Lagos. Na wa oh.

Angelfrost:
You can get the PDF soft copies on websites like pdfdrive.com!

Thanks. Know where I can get the hard copy?

Angelfrost:
Satanic Verses and Midnight Children are beautiful reads!

They are part of my all time collection of books that make sense!

Many of you Muslims need to get a grip...

Where can I get them? I've searched for Satanic Verses but can't find it.

Chai. They should make sure his attacker never see the light of day. He should be made an example of.

This people who attack and maim in the name of religion should be thought a thorough and proper lesson so others like them will learn.

Even till now we haven't heard anything about those who killed Deborah Samuel. This shouldn't be and the case shouldn't be hushed.

Tolexander:
What about the price.

This Bowen post clearly shows how you can buy time with money

Shaq fu,

Did you notice this in the movie, the pistol the Frenchman gave Naru is the same one a predator gave Danny Glover’s character in the second predator movie

Yes I did. I wonder how that came about though. No explanation was given except they're planing a sequel that will explain it.

Shey the lady wan kill am nee. Haba. Make she have Mercy oh before we hear say another man don die on top woman.

DissTroy:
Delta has absolutely no reason to owe any worker.

It rivals Akwa Ibom and Rivers States for FAAC allocations. That's the hálfwit Atiku chose as VP.

Who do you feel Atiku should have chosen?

Nickshrapnel:
Two reasons I can think of, one is overconfidence, perhaps he underestimated the inhabitants of earth and felt they won’t put up a good fight or as someone stated up there is maybe they purposely sent him out with little weapons to prove himself a good hunter.

Alright. It sounds plausible.

Nickshrapnel:
Yes, I did. I hope they expand on this universe more in live action. I want more!

Cool. I hope so too. Though I wonder why they changed the weapons of the Predator. Was looking forward to seeing this predator use a biodisc but that didn't happen.

Jingle All The Way.

Nickshrapnel:
This version also had a bullet resistant armour, he was just not well armoured, we saw a bullet ricochet when he was shot point blank in the head. And I won’t call him a novice hunter, I think he considers himself a superior hunter hunting in a primitive world, which explains his savagery and lesser armour.

did you notice his biomask is way different from that of other predators?

blingxx:
The previous predator movies had body armors that guns cant penetrate , this version of predator is like a novice that is still learning how to hunt

Nope. Guns can penetrate the skin of predators. Though it will take a sufficient amount of bullet to kill them. The Predator in Predator 2 took multiple gun shot from a shotgun and didn't die.

Also in the first predator movie. When Dutch and his team unleash the greatest reign of bullets on the predator, they wounded it before it escaped.

This is a disgrace!.

DissTroy:
You are a halfwît. If you know nothing about how websites work, take a back bench and sit it out.

With CMS like WordPress and Drupal, you can backdate a post. I can create a website today then while posting, change the post date to 2017. You can even do on-page SEO to fool Google into thinking it's an old webpage.

You can create a website for one purpose then redesign/redevelop it delete away all previous post files and posting something different all together without changing the domain. It's called "pivoting". Similarweb.com would still rank the website creation date as it was from the beginning.

Eskimi.com used to be a dating website for more than a decade; now it's a brand imaging and marketing platform and all dating chat history files wiped from the database.

Wow. I use to be on that website. It was notorious for having girls who demand recharge cards before they even reply your Dm and all other nonsense. It was the same with 2go or something like that.

Seriously how can they delete people's data like that and get away with it. Reminds me of how Seun got away with losing our data during/after the Nairaland Tsunami. This is dubious.

DandeNumeruno:
AVP is garbage anyways. Until Prey (2022), the last decent Predator film had Arnold Schwarzenegger in it.

I like how Prey (2022) approached the idea of a young Predator trying to complete a rite of passage while being inexperienced. It started by killing and skinning a snake before realizing it wasn't the apex predator, then it killed a wolf and took the skull as a trophy, but later it met, fought, and killed a Bear, and finally encountered man, where the fun truly began.

It's a new take on a stagnating franchise, and I hope it's the start of something great.

True. So true but don't forget, the predators have been coming to earth since before man started wielding guns, so they damn well know who the apex predators on Earth were.

I'm sure you know the franchise have been sold to Disney or whatnot that's why they're coming with this version. Still the Yautja are the greatest hunters of all time. Even their teenagers are a force to reckon with.

For me, I've enjoyed every predator movie. I'm a big fan of "the demon who makes trophies of men".

DandeNumeruno:
AVP's predators are adults and experienced. They've visited Earth before. They knew their craft, they knew their target, they were well-organized, they had a code, and they were well-versed in human behavior. In fact, AVP revealed that the Predators use Earth as a sort of training/hunting ground where they breed and hunt the Xenomorphs (aliens).

AVP predators aren't adults. They were teenagers who came to Earth for their rite of passage to be blooded, which of course is the hunting and killing of aliens (xenomorph) this was told in the movie. It was the very reason they weren't allowed to carry their plasma caster in the first place, they had to earn the rite to carry them.

Scar, Celtic and Chopper the adolescent predators were naive. Their behaviour in handling the aliens showed it. Scar was the only one who actually killed aliens, while the others failed and got killed.

The rite of passage which prove they were teenagers was told by Sebastian to Lex where she exclaimed in awe to the fact that they (predators) were teenagers.

In comparison, the Predator in Prey is very young, inexperienced, and possesses a teenage angst that the ones in AVP do not. If he had lived, he would have improved and returned to Earth more experienced and mature.

I can but say the behaviour shown by that predator in Prey goes against what predators stand for. Predators don't live tracks behind. Even the one in Predator 2, that hunted in the city never left any track. If not for the technology available at the time, it can't be traced, talkless of learning it's habits.

Jostoman:
this will not stop the youths from peaceful remembrance of the falling heroes of endsars in October.

which heroes? You mean destroyers of public property?

DandeNumeruno:
It's a teenage predator. It was literally its first time on Earth, and it had no idea who the planet's apex predator is, so it was learning. However, being a teen warrior, it is a reckless predator who enjoys the kill more than the hunt.

same can be said with the predators in AVP. They were teenagers yet they killed with skill and not as reckless as this predator in Prey. Though their lack of experience was present as it resulted in the death of two of them, still you can't compare their skill to that of this predator.

If you put this predator against any alien, it will lose, woefully I might add.

I still can't get my head around why they change its weapons.

I'm not wackinh corrupt money.i rather choose to be OBidient and patriotic to my Nation for a better Nigeria.

How much Tinubu go pay me self? A better Nigeria will pay me more.

U are supporting Tinubu for 3 reasons

1. Tribalism
2. Religion.
3. The money you're gaining from him

All baseless assumptions from the mind of a senseless individual.

Prey (2022)
4/5

What a lovely film. After years of mediocrity, I'm glad to finally see a decent Predator film. This is a much-needed boost for the struggling franchise.

One of my favorite things about it is how Naru's development mirrors that of the Predator, but in reverse. Throughout the film, we see her observe, adapt, learn, and improve as a hunter, but we also see the Predator become increasingly reckless and sloppy.

All of the fight scenes were great, especially that cool single-shot scene between Naru and the French. The Taabe v Predator fight scene deserves a shout too. Taabe put up a great fight... who knows what would have happened if the predator hadn't chickened out and turned invisible.

Outside of the action, there's still plenty to enjoy. Beautiful cinematography and an amazing score.

It's not a perfect film, but it hit almost every note I was hoping for. I really enjoyed it.

there's obviously something very different about this predator. It leaves tracks, has no sense of honour, fights dirty and like you said, very reckless.

Don't be. One can't be too old to inflict vawulence on those who deserve it.

Niklaus398:
oga like I said keep it on. Chop tinubus money jor. Man must wack ... hahahahaa

Of course, man must wack. But you are not wacking are you? This is the reason you're ranting and complaining because your stomach is as empty as your head. Low budget losers like yourself should go and get a life and stop plaguing the internet with your disobedient nature and your uselessness. Fool.

Niklaus398:
You're an empty head. Enemy of Nigeria. Corrupt fool. I no blame you shall .. na hunger dey do you, if no be say I dey patriotic to my Nation I for join you chop Tinubu money.�����.

So bro, continue jor. Continue oooo after all you're hustling for your daily bread. Hahahahahah

Didn't I say you're a poverty beaten bastard. This statement of yours show just how much hunger have rendered you an Internet twerp.

You want to eat whose money? Even the people in Obi's campaign won't even look to you once because you have nothing to offer. You failed at everything both online and offline.

Imagine you saying you're patriotic when it's hunger and poverty that made you the Patriotic, empty, hollow creature you are. Demented loser. Na hunger go kee u.

Ishilove vawulence is going on here and you didn't invite me?

IbadeHQ:
Why calling supporters of other political party bastard? You guys needs to be tolerant. Obi cannot win this election like this.

They are mainly bitter souls who are lazy and can't do anything for themselves, that's why they're online day and night crying wolf because poverty has raped them silly.

To them, the APC and Buhari are the reason why they can't feed themselves. As if it's not their mates carrying blocks of cement here and there. They want Buhari to come put food in their mouths. Lmao.

Niklaus398:
empty headed fool like you ...you give what you can't take. Tinubu, buhari all of you apc insulted and attacked him. Attacked his wife. Was his wife the president of Nigeria? No. Yet you came for her. Called her "Shippotamus" etc.

Now you can't take what you give out. Lol. We go give una woto woto. What's comes around goes around.

The fool here is you, who is so bitter someone better than his entire generation of glorified losers is contesting for the office of President of Nigeria.

It is now obvious why you're so pained to the point the vein in your temple will pop any minute. Permit me to tell you I'll help assist in it because the world can do without the likes of bitter souls like you.

You impoverished whelp, You should first smack yourself wotowoto or whatever useless vocabulary online miscreants like you use to justify your more than foolish existence. Wasted piece of human trash.

cuffee:
Why haven't you ventured into filmmaking? Atleast its not a crime to give it a try. Nollywood would need your meticulous mind in their mediocre industry before it goes to waste. Think about it.

Please don't give that kind of advise here. With the way they review and murder movies here, if they try it with Nollywood movies, they'll be assassinated before you can say review.

You think Nollywood actors like Jim Iyke, Iyabo Ojo etc will take kindly to their review (criticisms)?

Niklaus398:
Same way Tinubu and failures like you attacked Jonathan. So e dey pain like this.

Attacked Jonathan because he was the President of Nigeria. Now is Tinubu the President? You empty headed nincompoop.

Good. It's high time those who orchestrated the attack on Lagosians during the Endsars protest be made to face the law.

If it is even possible, those who blocked roads and didn't allow people to move about should also be arrested and trialed. The nonsense happening in this country must stop.
