FoodRe: White Girls And Fufu by Shaunscot(m): 11:13am On Jul 31, 2007
The fact that white girls like fufu is quite funny.Im a Nigerian living in Nigeria and I dont like it one bit.
@luisita
You can come to Nigeria if/when you want to.You already know people here on Nairaland.Its just a matter of getting personal with a few of us and we'll show you around Naija when you get here.
SportsRe: Helguera Leaves Madrid 4 Valencia by Shaunscot(m): 9:23pm On Jul 30, 2007
I dont have accurate details because most of them are in Spanish but I can assure you Soldado joined Real Madrid Castilla from Valencia at age 13.What I have is just a brief from wikipedia.
I know a lot about Valencia.Been a fan since '99.So us getting Mata is like 'Sweet Revenge'

SportsRe: Helguera Leaves Madrid 4 Valencia by Shaunscot(m): 11:36pm On Jul 29, 2007
Yeah You gave us Mata.But u also stole some youngster from us a couple of seasons ago.He goes by the name Soldado(DOnt forget he was from the Valencia B team) but my point is these things happen in football.
ABout us losing embarassingly-That is Valencia for you.We step up against teams we have 'bad blood' for.We hold our fort against the stronger teams and fumble against the weaker teams.We played a 0-0 draw against Locomotiv Sofia before thrashing Inter and now losing against PSG.I aint surprised but I still know this season is Orange, Get my drift?
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Which Football Club Are You Crazy About? by Shaunscot(m): 1:27am On Jul 29, 2007
OKay I know I'm a little wierd and off but YO SOY VALENCIANISTA.IN english it means I am a Valencianista.
I support the Valencia CF and Ill keep supporting Los Che till, Thats right - till infinity.

BusinessRe: ATMs: Automated Thieving Machines? by Shaunscot(m): 11:50pm On Jul 28, 2007
I dont think that is a good advise.Just because some banks liquidated doesnt mean you have stopped banking.
Explanation-Sh*t happens.
Its how you handle it when it happens that matters.Truly a lot of these companies disregard their customers(maybe because of the Nigerian factor) but at the end,you cant do without some of these services.
There was a time glo robbed me of close to 2k and they did nothing about it until I sent a mail to the NCC.They then started calling me.I havent stopped paying Starcomms for Internet despite the fact that their services is crap.If I change,what is the possibility that the new ISP wont fail me?
You can report to the appropriate authorities to fight for you as it is their duty but burning your ATM or advising other people not to use ATMs is way extreme.

sprezatura:
this edition will be held in Jos on a very dangerous (hill,rock,mountain,) called shere hills, lots of scorpions, snakes, creatures you have never seen before, and yes, the cold, that sweet biting cold. Yea by the way theres a portion of the hill laced with quick sand not a lot of people know about. So between snakes and scorpion venom and whatever prize money what will you choose. Yea forgot to tell you about monkeys, they have got a knack for beating the hell outa people, there are honey bees as well. Its definitly going to be the best show. So have fun
The best 'real' home video - you mean.
Dont forget its not a 24hr reality show like BB where you can watch their every move.We only get to see what they want us to see.

Whether you wish his team good luck or not,His new team-Valencia CF are going to win major silverware this season.
I happen to be a Valencia CF supporter(the only Nigerian VCF supporter I know of) and I know we have a bright 07/08 season.
We have started that by beating Internazionale in the Emirates cup.
Amunt!! Valencia

SportsRe: FA Premier League or the Spanish 'La Liga'? by Shaunscot(m): 2:01pm On Jul 25, 2007
Ive been quiet for quite some time but Ill talk now.
For those who keep talking about the EPL being seeded by UEFA,the seeding is a result of accumulated points over 5 years.
If you look at Spain,the level of competition is so high that Only Real Madrid can boast of Champions league competition for 5 consecutive years.
We have had Deportivo Lacoruna,Real Betis,Real Sociedad,Celta Vigo,Villareal in the champions league over this period.
Even the other top two teams-Barcelona and Valencia cant boast of 5 consecutive UEFA CL outings.
In England,it is an entirely different story.The top four-seven teams can always be predicted.That is why even if Arsenal keeps losing out in the second round,they will still be seeded.
Concerning having 3 Semi-finalists in the champions league,Its not new.Spain and Italy have both done it before.Yet they all produced 2 finalists and a winner.
England produced 3 semi-finalists and one finalist and no winner.
Chelsea's inclusion in the semi-final was more or less luck.Competing against the most depleted team in Europe(Valencia had 7 injured players and 2 suspended players) and still they struggled to defeat Valencia.
What would have happened if there was a fully fit squad?
The EPL remains the most hyped league in the world while the spanish liga is the most competitive and entertaining league in Europe
BusinessRe: ATMs: Automated Thieving Machines? by Shaunscot(m): 12:31pm On Jul 25, 2007
I heard several cases of ATM 'frauds'.And I'll say they swing both ways.
A friend of mine got an error from an ATM machine,changed his mind about withdrawing and left for another ATM where he got his cash.
At the end of the month,he was credited with the amount he 'supposedly' withdrew.
Most of the cases Ive heard are negative though.I know of someone who got to an ATM and found cash in the slot-Probably an error occured and the account holder left.
Also,Ive heard several complaints very similar to the Posters'
@Poster
You've done the right thing by complaining immediately.Problem is that with the ATM,there are no witnesses,no signed documents(deposit/withdrawal slips) and stuff like that.
Hopefully,u will get ur money back

LiteratureRe: Who Is Your Best Novelist? by Shaunscot(m): 11:20pm On Jul 20, 2007
Robert Ludlum ROCKS!!!Frank Peretti is DA BOMB(I didnt like his last novel-Monster)
I have a Ludlum library-nothing less than 15 of his books.But Ive read almost all
@3dhunter and Apocalypse
Yeah there is a fourth Bourne.Its called the Bourne Legacy.I bought it before I even realised he wasnt the author.It was written by Eric Van Lustbader but I still havent read it(Ive had it for 5 months now).I guess Im just obsessed with Ludlum.
I started with pacesetters(back in primary) befor moving to Chase.I read nothing less than 60 JHC's before the plot started looking similar.
I was feeling the same way with Ludlum but he knocked me off with 'The Prometheus Deception'.
Thats my best Ludlum yet, Ill recommend it.
Ive read David Baldacci's 'winner' and I wasnt impressed.
I also read Sidney Sheldon's 'rage of angels' and I feel the guy is a littled hyped
TV/MoviesRe: Gulder Ultimate Search 4 (IV)! by Shaunscot(m): 10:40pm On Jul 20, 2007
Like I posted earlier(the previous page),the drama is yet to begin.
Except if the tactics change this season,just watch how exactly 10 people will pick the 'yes' envelope.
Its very intriguing.I didnt understand the probability ratio I was taught in school I guess.
TV/MoviesRe: Gulder Ultimate Search 4 (IV)! by Shaunscot(m): 10:52pm On Jul 19, 2007
I have never applied for any reality show,and I never will.(I love living a private life-reason I didnt evn register here for a year)
@cgift
Yes O.There is politics in it.Barely everything in Nigeria is done with the 'stakeholders' candidature involved.
I dont believe any Nigerian reality show is fair, except if we have foreigners involved.
TV/MoviesRe: Gulder Ultimate Search 4 (IV)! by Shaunscot(m): 11:55am On Jul 18, 2007
That is the initial joke guys.
Just watch when they will select the last 10 from the remaining 20.
They'll them to pick envelopes one containing 'yes' and one containing 'no'.
You step forward and pick an envelope.
The intriguing part is that exactly 10 will pick 'yes' and exactly 10 will pick 'no'
I never believed in the Ultimate Search for a minute.So stage managed.
Look at the Episode Lucan won.Martins got to the venue first but he was 'tired' he had to rest before he started searching for the Crown.
The Episode Ezugo won,Julian got to the venue first but It was Zugi who knew the right place to dig to find the treasure.
I didnt want to diminish the hopes of those called for auditions but I hope I have let you see the truth of the matter
