PropertiesRe: Lady Cries Out As 200 Eagles Hover Over Neighbor’s Home by smilingjee(m): 9:28am On Dec 09, 2025
A kite hovering over your house usually just means good wind conditions and someone enjoying the hobby of kite flying, but in some cultures, it symbolizes good luck, prayers ascending, or creative joy; context matters, but often it's just a fun, common sight indicating a pleasant day for flying.
Literal Meanings (Most Common)
• Good Wind: The most straightforward reason is that there's steady wind, allowing someone nearby to launch and keep a kite aloft.
• Hobby/Fun: Someone is likely enjoying flying a kite, perhaps in a park or open space, and it's drifting over your property.
• Kite Festival: It could be part of a larger event with many kites in the air.
Symbolic Meanings (Cultural/Spiritual)
• Good Fortune: In some traditions, kites are seen as bringing good luck, success, and blessings.
• Prayers & Wishes: They can symbolize prayers rising to the heavens or aspirations taking flight.
• Creativity: The diverse shapes and colors often represent freedom and creativity.
Figurative/Idiomatic Meanings
• "Go Fly a Kite": This common idiom means "go away" or "get lost," though it has no relation to a literal hovering kite and is usually said to someone to tell them to leave.
So, if you see one, it's probably just a nice day for flying, but it can also carry deeper cultural meanings of joy and good fortune!.
SportsRe: Nigeria Vs Benin: 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers (4 - 0) On 14th Oct 2025 by smilingjee(m): 8:01pm On Oct 14, 2025
Today's game is quite an interesting one.

In football, especially in international competitions like AFCON or World Cup qualifiers, the dynamics between groups can indeed be systematically fluid — not in direct “help,” but in how results, goal differences, and head-to-head records indirectly shape other teams’ fates.

If we imagine Nigeria shifting help from Rwanda to Algeria (from another group).

It’s one of the things that makes tournament football so fascinating — you can affect outcomes without ever facing the team you “help” or “harm.”
InvestmentRe: Crowd Besiege Makurdi Stadium For Ponzi Scheme Reward, Left Disappointed by smilingjee(m): 9:04am On Dec 15, 2020
The earlier people know that Ponzi scheme is a fraudulent investment the better for them. Ponzi used funds from new investors to pay fake “returns” to earlier investors. Ponzi scheme organizers often promise high returns with little or no risk. Instead, they use money from new investors to pay earlier investors and may steal some of the money for themselves. It is high time the government look into this matter and promulgate and enforce laws eradicating such illegal schemes. Many have already committed suicide due to loss of investment

CelebritiesRe: Nathaniel Bassey's Comments On Busola Dakolo & COZA Pastor Bidoun Fatoyinbo by smilingjee(m): 10:05am On Jul 02, 2019
Bacteriologist:
Why are Christians divided over this issue? Isn't it clear what the Bible says? Christians should all support Biodun, since the Holy Bible clearly endorses rape, so I don't understand why any true Christian would be waiting for a fair hearing. Rape or not, Biodun is right. Period.

#Sarcasm
Deuteronomy 22:28-29

This is an early example of rape legislation.

It is important to remember that women were viewed very differently in ancient times than they are today. They were not generally regarded as having “personhood” or fundamental rights in any real sense and were viewed as possessions much like slaves. In essence, they were property that a father could sell to a man who would use her for procreation. The woman’s will was never taken into account to any serious extent.

In the ancient world, generally when a woman was raped and impregnated, she would become part of a permanent underclass consigned to perpetual poverty, being unable to gain the support of a husband. Being unable to make money any other way, they would often become prostitutes out of sheer desperation.

Deuteronomy attempts to address this issue through an interesting variation on the idea of “you break it you buy it.” In essence, if a man rapes a woman then he becomes financially responsible for her and her child. Of course, this only applies if he was caught in the act, but it is still a step up from nothing.

As with much of the old law, this should be understood not as a moral guideline but rather a matter of social pragmatism. The bible does not mean to condone rape, but rather to address the problem of the permanent underclass. Deuteronomy lays out several different types of welfare to see that the poor and sick would be provided for, which is one of the most remarkable things about it.

When I read the passage, I see mankind taking a very early step towards justice. As was always the case, it was deeply flawed, but it was merely the first step on a long journey that is still far from finished.

Christianity EtcThe Biggest Scam Of All:pastor Creflo Dollar Will Get His $65 Million Luxury Jet by smilingjee(op): 10:41am On Jun 06, 2015
2nd Timothy 3:1,2,4, “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves... lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God.”

You may have heard the story a few months ago about an Atlanta-based minister who claimed he needed a $65 million private jet so he could "safely and swiftly share the Good News of the Gospel worldwide." But almost as quickly as Pastor Creflo Dollar asked his 200,000 followers to each donate $300.00 towards the purchase of a luxurious jet, the campaign vanished and was removed from his website.
But now, the board of World Changers Church International -- which also operates as Creflo Dollar Ministries, has announced it is ready to purchase the plane.

"We plan to acquire a Gulfstream G650 because it is the best, and it is a reflection of the level of excellence at which this organization chooses to operate."

This has got to be one of the biggest shams ever, and there's so much delusion it's hard to even figure out where to begin.
Let's start with the money. Imagine what could be accomplished with $65 million! That's a lot of money. Do you think Jesus would have wanted his earthly representatives travelling the globe in luxurious accommodations? Or do you think Jesus would have wanted to see that $65 million used to feed the poor, help the homeless, improve education, or just make some kind of huge impact to help humanity?
World Changers Church International said, "A long-range, high-speed, intercontinental jet aircraft is a tool that is necessary in order to fulfill the mission of the ministry."

Sure, who wouldn't want such a nice aircraft to travel the world? I know I would and I bet you would, too. And if you're one of the few people in this world who can afford one, go for it! But when you start hitting up your congregants -- many of whom struggle with their day-to-day finances and barely have enough money to provide the basic necessities for themselves and their families -- that's when something has to be done.
What about flying commercially? Jesus travelled on foot and by donkey. Granted there were no Gulfstream G650s back in the day, but if there were somehow I don't think you would have seen Jesus flying around in one. Dollar resides in Atlanta, the city with the world's largest airport with flights to every major international destination on a daily basis. Certainly it would be more cost effective for his flock to do their work around the world this way.

But after all, God told him to buy the plane. Dollar said, "If I want to believe God for a $65 million plane, you cannot stop me. You cannot stop me from dreaming. I'm gonna dream until Jesus comes."

I don't know what's worse: the fact that Creflo Dollar believes God spoke to him and told him to buy this jet, or the fact that people are so gullible and delusional and are actually supporting this guy. Of course, as Dollar puts it, it's simply part of what he calls "prosperity theology," in other words, giving of your own money to the church because by doing so your level of personal wealth is blessed and will grow significantly.
It's not surprising, really, that people buy into this nonsense. After studying mental toughness training for the last 31 years, there's a definite pattern of people who are operating from a weak state of mind to be more vulnerable to the suspension of critical thinking and doing anything that makes them feel better. Being addicted to the emotion of hope is a killer, so when Pastor Dollar tells them to give $300.00 and reminds them of the promise of everlasting life, a mansion in the sky and being reunited with loved ones, it sure sounds pretty good.

The bottom line: It's time for people to wake up and stop being stupid! Stop being manipulated and giving your money to the power hungry religious leader who owns two Rolls Royce cars and multiple multi-million-dollar homes. Creflo Dollar is a fake. If he was so genuinely concerned about doing good and Godly deeds, he would be raising $65 million to truly make a difference in the lives of so many. Instead, he'll be enjoying a better than first-class experience as he jets around the world in style laughing at the farce he created.

SportsTexas Man, 54, Sets Pull-ups World Record by smilingjee(op): 11:53am On Mar 19, 2015
It took Mark Jordan one year to train for an astonishing new world record and just one day to break it.

The 54-year-old Jordan has been recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world record holder for most pull-ups in one day. Jordan completed 4,321 pull-ups, breaking the previous mark by more than 100.

For Jordan, his achievement shows that people are never too old to hit the gym.

“This is about a message that it’s important to be able to take care of your health in many ways, no matter what age you are,” Jordan told the television station KRIS-6. “The benefits are something than can not only help you but allows you to be able to provide guidance and inspire others as well.”

Jordan set the mark in November 2014, but the Guinness Book of World Records didn't certify the mark until Monday.

Throughout his training and during the actual event, Jordan was raising money for a charity called HELP, the Hammons Education Leadership Program.

As for why he stopped at 4,321, Jordan says the consecutive nature of those four digits would make the number easy to remember.

The previous record was 4,210, set by Australia's Caine Eckstein in October.

Pastor Daniel, who is the founder and Head Pastor at Rabboni Centre Ministries, situated at Zone 2 Ga-Rankuwa, north of Pretoria, said he was basically trying to prove that humans can be controlled by the spirit and they can eat anything to feed their bodies.

TravelNigerians Among Races That Excel In America by smilingjee(op): 11:27am On Jan 07, 2014
Writer Amy Chau, who gained notoriety 2 years ago as 'Tiger Mum' after publishing her controversial book 'Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother" where she claimed that Chinese mums make the best parents and ultimately have more successful children, is back in the news.

Chau and her husband, Jed Rubenfeld, just released a controversial (and some say racist) parenting guide called 'The Triple Package', where they declared there to be only eight successful and superior groups of people in the US.

They eight are: Chinese, Jewish, Indian, Iranian, Lebanese-Americans, Nigerians, Cuban exiles and Mormons
'That certain groups do much better in America than others, as measured by income, occupational status, test scores and so on, is difficult to talk about,' Amy and Jed write.
The couple identify three distinguishing features these eight peoples have that guarantees them success over others; superiority, insecurity and impulse control.

Amy Chau, 51, breaks down the 'Triple Package' for her readers as follows:

1) A superiority complex: Chau believes that any cultural group who innately thinks they are just better than others has an advantage.
Ignoring the wars, genocide and abject human misery this kind of thinking has caused, Chau and her husband declare that 'the superiority complex is antithetical to mainstream liberal thinking...the stuff of racism , colonialism, imperialism, Nazism.'

2) Insecurity: Chau and her husband believe that a deep seated insecurity can be a motivating drive to achieving success.
'That insecurity should be a critical lever of success is another anathema, flouting the entire orthodoxy of contemporary popular and therapeutic psychology,' they write according to the New York Post.
'Note that there’s a deep tension between insecurity and a superiority complex,' the authors continue.
'It’s odd to think of people being simultaneously insecure but also convinced of their divine election or superiority.'

3) Impulse Control: Chau thinks that perseverance and patience are virtues that have been lost to most Americans - but still exist among her eight golden cultural groups.
'Impulse control refers to the ability to resist temptation, especially the temptation to give up in the face of hardship or quit instead of persevering at a difficult task.'

PoliticsTinubu’s Daughter To Replace Abibatu Mogaji As New ‘iyaloja’? by smilingjee(op): 11:30am On Jun 24, 2013
The Lagos State chapter of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has warned former Lagos State Governor, Bola Tinubu, to rescind his decision to impose his young daughter, Shade Tinubu-Ojo, as the new leader of the state’s marketwomen.

In a statement signed by the Publicity Secretary Taofik Gani, the Lagos PDP said that “the much-touted democrat should allow the simple tenets of democracy to prevail in the selection of a new leader for the market women, more so as there is no cogent evidence that his nominee and daughter is a full-time market woman.”

Ex-governor Tinubu had announced his decision during the 8th day fidau prayer for Abibatu Mogaji, his foster mother and former leader of Market Women in Lagos.

The statement said that Tinubu plans to confirm this choice to market leaders at a meeting he has summoned to hold on Tuesday at his residence.

“This new development portends great danger for our democracy and indeed Lagos’ integrity. We are thus calling on the State Governor, Raji Fashola, not to sit on the fence at this auspicious time.

“Fashola must rise up and be counted now. He must exhibit control in governance especially when Tinubu’s interest conflicts with the public interest. He must see to it that the process leading to the emergence of market leader and any other leadership in the state is transparent, liberal and credible.

“Politics must not be overplayed to erode human decency and respect for due process. Any act that would break down the assumed peace in the state must indeed be avoided,” concluded the statement

The Great Dictator's Speech

I’m sorry, but I don’t want to be an emperor. That’s not my business. I don’t want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone - if possible - Jew,

Gentile - black man - white. We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other’s happiness - not by each other’s misery. We

don’t want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone. And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be

free and beautiful, but we have lost the way.

Greed has poisoned men’s souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves

in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical. Our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More

than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost....

The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men - cries out for universal

brotherhood - for the unity of us all. Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world - millions of despairing men, women, and little children - victims

of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people.

To those who can hear me, I say - do not despair. The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed - the bitterness of men who fear the way of human

progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never

perish. .....

Soldiers! don’t give yourselves to brutes - men who despise you - enslave you - who regiment your lives - tell you what to do - what to think and what to feel! Who

drill you - diet you - treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder. Don’t give yourselves to these unnatural men - machine men with machine minds and machine

hearts! You are not machines! You are not cattle! You are men! You have the love of humanity in your hearts! You don’t hate! Only the unloved hate - the unloved and

the unnatural! Soldiers! Don’t fight for slavery! Fight for liberty!

In the 17th Chapter of St Luke it is written: “the Kingdom of God is within man” - not one man nor a group of men, but in all men! In you! You, the people have the

power - the power to create machines. The power to create happiness! You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a

wonderful adventure.

Then - in the name of democracy - let us use that power - let us all unite. Let us fight for a new world - a decent world that will give men a chance to work - that

will give youth a future and old age a security. By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power. But they lie! They do not fulfil that promise. They never

will!

Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people! Now let us fight to fulfil that promise! Let us fight to free the world - to do away with national barriers - to

do away with greed, with hate and intolerance. Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men’s happiness. Soldiers! in

the name of democracy, let us all unite!

FamilyBoston Marathon Bomber Manhunt: One Suspect Dead, Second On The Run by smilingjee(op): 4:02pm On Apr 19, 2013
BOSTON—A late-night police chase and shootout has left one marathon bombing suspect dead and another on the run, police here said, as residents of the still-grieving city were ordered by officials to "shelter in place" while the manhunt continues. One police officer was killed and another was seriously wounded during the violent spree.
The Associated Press identified the surviving Boston bomb suspect as Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, 19, of Cambridge, Mass., and said that the suspects were brothers. The second bombing suspect is Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, according to NBC News, who was found with an IED on his body. The brothers are of Chechen origin, a volatile southern Russian republic. Photographer Johannes Hirn took this photo essay of the older brother, a boxer. The captions suggest Tsarnaev came to America as a child with his family as refugees after fleeing Chechnya. Dhokhar Tsarnaev posted links to Islamic and pro-Chechnyan independence sites on what appears to be his social media page.
The suspects' uncle told the local CBS News station that the pair had lived in the country since 2001. The uncle, when told that one of his nephews was killed, replied that he deserved it. “He deserved his. He absolutely deserved his,” Ruslan Tsarni said. “They do not deserve to live on this earth.”
Tsarni said he learned his nephews were suspects by reading a Russian language news source. "Since these people do have association to me by blood, I say they're barbarians," he added. "What can I say to people who he murdered? Sympathy. Condolences. I'm with them."
Tsarnaev's father, reached by the AP in Russia by phone, said his son was a "true angel" and wonderful student. He later told ABC's Good Morning America that he wanted his son to surrender peacefully.
The University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth announced shortly after 10:30 a.m. on Friday that they were evacuating the entire campus after learning Tsarnaev is a student there.
At sunrise, Gov. Deval Patrick ordered a shutdown of all public transit and residents on the edges of Boston to stay indoors as a massive manhunt for the second suspect was underway. The entire city in Boston was under a shelter in place order by late Friday morning.
“This situation is grave and we are trying to protect the public safety,” said Massachusetts State Police Col. Timothy Alben, who ordered a lockdown of Watertown, Waltham, Belmont, Cambridge, Newton, Allston and Brighton. A no fly zone has been declared over Watertown. The city of Boston was eerily quiet during Friday's rush hour, the city's busy intersections totally abandoned.

Marathon bombing suspect Tsarnaev (FBI)
Federal agents swarmed Watertown after local police were involved in a car chase and shootout with the men identified Thursday by the FBI as Suspect 1 and Suspect 2 in the Boston bombings. During the pursuit, officers could be heard on police radio traffic describing the men as having handguns, grenades and other explosives.

The mayhem began at approximately 10:20 p.m. Thursday when police said the bombing suspects robbed a 7-Eleven store in Cambridge. Minutes later, police said, the men shot and killed an MIT campus officer responding to the robbery call. The terror suspects then carjacked a Mercedes-Benz with the driver inside and fled, eventually letting driver go. They were then spotted in Watertown where they exchanged dozens of rounds of gunfire with patrol officers.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev was shot by police and brought to Beth Israel Medical Center. He arrived at the hospital under cardiac arrest with multiple gunshot wounds and blast-like injuries to his chest. The second suspect fled on foot, leading to the tense manhunt that is still underway at this hour.

"We believe this to be a terrorist," said Boston police Commissioner Ed Davis. "We believe this to be a man who has come here to kill people. We need to get him into custody."
A transit officer, Richard H. Donohue, was seriously wounded during the exchange of gunfire, officials said.

Boston police says the suspect who remains at large was the "one in the white hat" seen in the photos released by the FBI on Thursday in the investigation into the twin explosions that killed 3 people and injured 170 others at the Boston Marathon on Monday.
In a radio alert sent issued to fellow officers, the suspect was described as a "white male with dark complexion ... with thick curly hair wearing a charcoal gray hooded sweatshirt ... possibly with an assault rifle and explosives." Police in Watertown, Newton, Brighton and Cambridge were put on high alert. "Units use caution," an officer said. "He might have an explosive object on his person."
Worried residents in Watertown, a suburb about 8 miles from downtown Boston, were ordered to stay indoors and turn off their cell phones out of fear that they could trigger improvised explosive devices.

"Suspect 2" seen in 7-Eleven surveillance footage; police in Watertown (BPD/Getty)
Dozens of police officers, many of them off-duty, searched backyards in pursuit of the second suspect, and a police perimeter of several blocks was established. K9 units and SWAT teams searched homes on Spruce Street as officers with a police robot searched an SUV that the suspects had abandoned. Multiple devices were left in the road and two handguns were recovered, according to police scanners.

The Watertown shootout occurred after a gunfight erupted near the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where the MIT police officer, 26-year-old Sean Collier, was shot and later died. The campus was placed on lockdown for several hours, and students were told to remain indoors.

Shortly before 2 a.m. Friday, MIT issued a statement on its website saying that the suspect "in this evening's shooting is no longer on campus. It is now safe to resume normal activities. Please remain vigilant in the coming hours." MIT, Harvard, Boston University and other local colleges have cancelled classes.
President Barack Obama, who attended an interfaith service for the bombing victims in Boston on Thursday, was briefed on the overnight developments, the White House said early Friday.

At approximately 3:30 a.m., Massachusetts State Police issued a plea on Twitter for residents of Watertown to lock their doors and not open them for anyone as they searched backyards and exteriors of houses there.
"Residents in and around Watertown should stay in their residences," the alert read. "Do NOT answer door unless it is an identified police officer."

Police were able to track down images of the suspects after a victim of the attacks, Jeff Bauman, came to them with a description, Bloomberg reported Thursday. Bauman's legs were torn apart by the bomb.

CultureGirl Stripped, Harassed In Public For Wearing Skimpy Dress In Abuja (video) by smilingjee(op): 2:44pm On Apr 16, 2013
Yeah, some women's outfits can be classified as indecent. But everyone is allowed to wear whatever the want (until it becomes illegal to do so).

There is absolutely no justification for this young lady being harassed and basically stripped nude because her dress isn't as conventional as they'd like.
Perhaps she was wrong in choosing that particular outfit, but the mob was also wrong to embarrass and abuse her that way.

Those were enjoyable recollections of the past. I remember vividly the use of Agbalumo (Cherry) seeds for games. I prefer the tiny types (Esun).

those days when table and floor soccer was rife.
The days when u play nail games like u're throwing darts on wet grounds.
The days when u submit ur plates in front of the class then mama olonje would come and pick them up before break.
Those days when u have to "ko ebe" (make farm ridges/furrows) to get marks under agric science. Comfirm PAKO
