It is heartworming that Zhirkov and J.Cole will be featuring. Up Chelsea.

Definitely, it's a cheering news. I got the news on
Chelsea website and I have been popping my champagne since then.

Blue is the colour;
Chelsea is the name.

With Chelsea, you can never go wrong.

All I have to say is that those people at the helm of affairs in this country
are playing with the lives of Nigerians just like some people did in Ghana
but are no where to find under the sun as I'm typing this reply.

Time will always tell!

[b]Have special plans this 09/09/09?

Everyone from brides and grooms to movie studio execs are celebrating the upcoming calendrical anomaly in their own way.

In Florida, at least one county clerk's office is offering a one-day wedding special for $99.99. The rarity of this Sept. 9 hasn't been lost on the creators of the iPod, who have moved their traditional Tuesday release day to Wednesday to take advantage of the special date. Focus Features is releasing their new film "9," an animated tale about the apocalypse, on the 9th.

Not only does the date look good in marketing promotions, but it also represents the last set of repeating, single-digit dates that we'll see for almost a century (until January 1, 2101), or a millennium (mark your calendars for January 1, 3001), depending on how you want to count it.

Though technically there's nothing special about the symmetrical date, some concerned with the history and meaning of numbers ascribe powerful significance to 09/09/09.

For cultures in which the number nine is lucky, Sept. 9 is anticipated - while others might see the date as an ominous warning.

Math magic

Modern numerologists - who operate outside the realm of real science - believe that mystical significance or vibrations can be assigned to each numeral one through nine, and different combinations of the digits produce tangible results in life depending on their application.

As the final numeral, the number nine holds special rank. It is associated with forgiveness, compassion and success on the positive side as well as arrogance and self-righteousness on the negative, according to numerologists.

Though usually discredited as bogus, numerologists do have a famous predecessor to look to. Pythagoras, the Greek mathematician and father of the famous theorem, is also credited with popularizing numerology in ancient times.

"Pythagoras most of all seems to have honored and advanced the study concerned with numbers, having taken it away from the use of merchants and likening all things to numbers," wrote Aristoxenus, an ancient Greek historian, in the 4th century B.C.

As part of his obsession with numbers both mathematically and divine, and like many mathematicians before and since, Pythagoras noted that nine in particular had many unique properties.

Any grade-schooler could tell you, for example, that the sum of the two-digits resulting from nine multiplied by any other single-digit number will equal nine. So 9x3=27, and 2+7=9.

Multiply nine by any two, three or four-digit number and the sums of those will also break down to nine. For example: 9x62 = 558; 5+5+8=18; 1+8=9.

Sept. 9 also happens to be the 252nd day of the year (2 + 5 +2),

Loving 9

Both China and Japan have strong feelings about the number nine. Those feelings just happen to be on opposite ends of the spectrum.

The Chinese pulled out all the stops to celebrate their lucky number eight during last year's Summer Olympics, ringing the games in at 8 p.m. on 08/08/08. What many might not realize is that nine comes in second on their list of auspicious digits and is associated with long life, due to how similar its pronunciation is to the local word for long-lasting (eight sounds like wealth).

Historically, ancient Chinese emperors associated themselves closely with the number nine, which appeared prominently in architecture and royal dress, often in the form of nine fearsome dragons. The imperial dynasties were so convinced of the power of the number nine that the palace complex at Beijing's Forbidden City is rumored to have been built with 9,999 rooms.

Japanese emperors would have never worn a robe with nine dragons, however.

In Japanese, the word for nine is a homophone for the word for suffering, so the number is considered highly unlucky - second only to four, which sounds like death.

Many Japanese will go so far as to avoid room numbers including nine at hotels or hospitals, if the building planners haven't already eliminated them altogether. [/b]

What do you think about 9 9 9?

jaylinaa:
In my opinion, there ain't nuffin wrong wiv lookin really kempt. U know; Nice nails, clean hair, smart clothes. But when it's become such an obsession, then it becomes wrong, We all vain in our little way but too much is VAIN! And I think lookin simple and clean attracts more than lookin all vain and overly done, Looking that way would only attract people of your kind. i.e. Vain guys with a large ego who are ''money miss roads'', have cash to spend and they all out for the zipper

I do my hair like every three weeks . Am a student on a budget! But boy, do I look so good!

@jaylinaa, I like you the way you are and how you presented your opinion here.
I wouldn't mind having a chat with you if you wouldn't mind.

As for the topic, everything in life boils down to taste. What you see as high maintenance
maybe no maintenance to another person.

I believe in moderation.

As for qualification, The Super Eagles will still qualify but Yobo has
to go apologize to all Nigerians for making such a freaking brainless comment.

Blame It On Me!
I was the one that asked them to play entertaining football.
They were so soaked in what I asked them to do that they forgot to
score more goals in order to win the match.
I'm sorry for asking them to do what they should not do.

Only God can stop Chelsea from lifting the CL this season.

Once bitten twice shy! What about thrice bittensorry beaten?

meemiluv:
thats a great ideal
it also give football fans a means to advertise their club and also save datas
good ideal, when is the product lauch i want to partake i this business
more info please.

You know exactly where I'm coming from. I'm still considering producing it
but I have not arrived at/made any concrete conclusion/decision.

edogram.:
flash drivers made in china are bunch of fake shit. no good. not a good idea. come up with a better planning

I'm not planning to go to China to produce fake flash drives as you called them.
You have to understand that Chinese products that are "fake shit" are so because
some Nigerians are looking for very cheap, almost free or totally free products.

If you give a Chinese man specifications on what you want your product to look like
he will give you what you want.

Come to think of it, you must not go to China!

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is nicknamed Ibracadabra

xtremious:
this post is already more than a year old with no comment from the people that got the free website and yet people are still sending in 'i am interested' request.Naija, una too much!!!

You can't say it better than this but you have no business
replying to such old thread.

Hi All,

I conceived this business idea some weeks ago and I think the
product will sell like wild fire here in Nigeria.

What is the product? Flash drive! Yes, computer users all over the
world use flash drive but this particular flash drive will be customized
in such a way that it will be like a necklace. The flash drive will hang from
the necklace as a pendant.

Then, the names of popular European football clubs like Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool,
Manchester United, etc. will be engraved on the flash drive.

I hope this little explanation has shown you where I'm coming from and where I'm
going to.

Meanwhile, there are several firms in China that can produce such flash drive at a very
low price so that it can attract buyers.

What do you think?

We have other adsense service providers such as adbrite.com, infolinks.com, and kontera.com.

Can u share with the house?

thithi:
In Nigerian movies, yes

It doesn't just happen in movies. lol.

Money can buy you an exotic car but it can't buy you a safe trip.
Money can buy you a 5-star accommodation but it can't buy a sound sleep or peace of mind.

Go figure!

Hi,

One of my friends want to sign up with a driving school in Port Harcourt
but I can't really be of any help to him because I never attended any in PH
and I just came into the city.

Please, is there anybody in the house that knows about any reliable/competent
driving school(s) in PH? I would also like to know their terms of service such as
duration, cost of training, and so on.

Thank you.

Believe me, no amount is too small and no amount is too big.

let this be at the back of your mind: No company can pay you what you really worth.

Go figure!

IFELEKE:
and how will that work out?

I don't believe in impossibility and I have proved that many times.

If we can brainstorm very well I think the noble idea will work out
but we need the full support of the forum's Administrator, Seun Osewa.

Collectively, we can make it work out. Honestly, I cry when I see young
people with noble business ideas but lack the wherewithal to implement
the idea.

Currently, I'm working on a personal project to put smile on the faces of some
youths on Nairaland but I think it's not enough.

If you can conceive it and believe it, you will achieve it. I'm a witness.
We only need to eschew greed and selfishness, which are the two
greatest vices among Nigerians.

MrCrackles:
Was there ever one

I actually saw a thread/topic on the subject started by a member with username "anizzle".
The thread dates back to October, 2006.

Here is the link to the thread:
https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-28526.0.html

I discovered that way back in 2006, there was an issue raised
concerning setting up a co-operative society for Nairaland members
so that members can contribute money that will be used to help other members
that have stellar business ideas but lack financial backup.

Please can someone, especially the old members of this high profile forum, be kind
and God-spirited enough to tell me what really happened to the idea because IMO I think the idea
is a good one.

The fact is that the girl is in love
with you but the truth is that she just likes you.

Please don't be carried away with her childish idiosyncrasy.
All the same, love and care for her like your younger sister.
Please don't hang out with her as if you are hanging out with an adult.

Nollywood is more or less a car that's run out of gasoline.

Be extremely cautious in all your dealings.

Forex is a good business, no doubt, but you have to be very very
careful because 99% of those that train people on forex has never made a dime on forex.

Go figure!

I have always said that this whole thing is a movie though a boring one that has several boring parts.

Anyway, I salute all the actors and actresses. I'm not impressed at all.

My father has always said that before a man will deceive others he will, first of all, deceive himself.

Good riddance to bad rubbish. LOL.
