(TheMascot) happy New Year in advance. I'm not planning to reply your mails

lool, that's mean! OK lets strike a deal

Rivers election even make headline pass headies

TeamSimple:
wetin concern me with recession? lol,the pope's pictures are being photoshoped right? you cant even hide your stvpidity.

you see your problem? I came to settle issues and the first thing you do is insult me, trust me you don't want to go there with me! Do you have a job? Are you self employed? If no, go and do something with your life, fighting with keypads doesn't make a better life for you and your children.

Be here and be shouting over religion that came from east and west.
They will not talk and you people will start fighting.
Truth be told in their days Christians were far lethal and made countries extinct, wiped out millions

But that doesn't justify the the killings of several terrorists groups.
You talk about Hitler always, but what about Saddam Hussein, what about Osama bin laden?
Need I remind you of 9/11,
The problem with religion isn't the religion itself, I have gone to the students masjid countless times,my two best friends are Muslims.
But people like you that in a bidto defend a course become hostile would serve as a reminder to others that truly Muslims need to be watched with a gun and fire button eye,
Bro, you have a problem not Islam, if you want to justify your claims of being a die hard Muslim, you shouldn't take pictures

Before you say anything look at this picture, it all began from this, hatred for Christians

KwaraRat:
Rubbish!

Dangote was made by govt subsidy under Obasanjo which gave him monopoly to import unfit for consumption rice. It is from there he got a lucrative sugar import monopoly and there his business empire sprang.

Dangote group requires top level govt intervention by providing waivers and necessary policy to ensure his monopoly. The Vaswani brothers who imported rice as well were kicked out of Nigeria to pave where for Dangote and Folawiyo's dominance.

No no no his empire began when his cement was used by every single construction site in Nigeria,

TeamSimple:
i can give you more images of your devil worshiping popes and christian leaders. you folks yourselves wold be the ones to welcome the anti christ when he finally arrives. do you know what the buphomet looks like? check out the baphomet pose below and that of christ giving to you in his circulating pictures. if thats what you want struggling muslims to fold their arms and watch ,sorry that wont happen. we know of their evil plans.
we dash you the praises of the most peacefull religion by the new world order. just tell them to let Islam and Islamic nations be. sponsoring shallow minded muslims to pick arms and fight fellow muslims wont help their course neither.

let me even ask you fovls a question, DO YOU REALLY KNOW WHO KING JAMES WAS? the editor of your textbook?

na you win, Islam is the most peaceful, since you have seen Satan he looks like baphometh, Photoshop has stopped working, America is sponsoring Isis and bokoharam, as you are the first son of God we agree, e do, go and do something else, recession dey una dey argue with all una strength

Hakeem12:
satanic worshipping you say? its very clear you are a misguided fool who is trying to prove knowledgeable. Apostacy my foot. How many people have been killed in your area for leaving Islam. Get your facts right. Islam does not impose itself on no one.

Lol... clap for yourself!
Every religion has imposed itself by fire by force

Xtians -crusade
Islam-jihad

DaintyJenny:
Lol, dah kind master.

Anyways, sex with a virgin guy would be awkward and clumsy all the way through and far from being fun like its meant to be. I wouldn't want that for myself.
So, nope, no virgins mbok.

I wouldn't be so quick to say that, some boys spend their entire lives researching about ... And when they eventually get the chance it's like WAEC all over, they would want to do everything to make a good impression. But dunno what to say about the ladies

ILuvGummyBearz:

what? No cow boys there

OZAOEKPE:

DaintyJenny:
Lol.
That's sad, I thought men actually loved deflowering girls?

nope not all, especially men like me! I hate it but at the same time happen to promiscuous girls..

like I love virgins and adore them but like me and them doin the hoops! Nasty

what about you? virgin boys or masters in the art ?

Benita27:
This one took love to another level.
3 months decorating a bible you could've just given him without this childish play.

childish to you but it's lovely! the type of gift you can show to your children, the type you can keep in a glass coffin, the type that can or may or may not draw him closer to his beliefs. imagine all our textbooks were illustrated and designed it would make learning interesting

DaintyJenny:
but why are they all standing astride?

cos they have been disvirgined from birth

ILuvGummyBearz:
