Damojo: My interview @ HaveSex bank was crazy! Met Aig @ abt 1am on a Sunday morning, nigga was sipping redwine and catchn trips on me! Not being desperate, I just freestyled and told him I was gonna transform his coy, he shook my hand and said 'welcome to havesex bank'

LOL @ your pun with the 'Havesex bank'. So are you still there?

I promised myself that even if I was jobless, I'd never venture there. Vultures who used politics to take-over their superior.

Intimidating profile.

Where did you get this information from. Including the source gives more credibility to your post.

Chai! I pity your father in his old age. Your mother mostly.

You said I should choose one. It's the first on my list but it does not hold the greater weight in my decision-making:
1. Family background

It just comes first for me before I consider her character (which will eventually be the determining factor).

I don't have any issues with mine. Guess it's the number series.

What?

ogugua88: I dey. Keri likes better tinz

Ogugua! Waddup?! Chai anytime I set my visual organs upon any pictorial representation of ya ethereal and euphoric visage, I always sense a quickening of my cardiac rhythm and experience tachycardial palpitations that convince me of nothing other than the fact that seeing you always makes my heart and pulse go a la la.

But why is this so? Do I suffer any form of cardiac distress? Am I partially hypertensive to sights of your pictures? Or is there a strange connection somewhere?

Sudden outpourings of these forms of adulations in the public domain are but foreign to my personae and modus operandus. Suffice to say that I am greatly surprised at this overflow of emotive vociferation and feel strongly tempted to hit the 'Del' button and continue with my cyberspace perambulation, but I must soldier on relying on the hope that my message, though seemingly inconsequential and trivial may arrive at intended destination and impress upon the intended recipient, the existence of a secret admirer!

Good evening.

Very true. I saw similar cases.

I am not happy that despite the errors contained in that topic, it was lifted as it was and posted on the front-page. Moderator or OP, amend that topic to reflect the right verbs and grammar.

These issues have already gotten out of hand.

On PC, I'd have preferred Google Chrome cos of the layout and features, but strangely, I download faster using Firefox. I still prefer Firefox.

On mobile, it's OperaMini all the way. Easy formatting of web pages for mobile view (you don't have to keep scrolling left and right to read pages), speedy page loads and the best: running as many tabs as I like (or rather, as the phone RAM can handle). This comes in handy when I go through NL frontpage topics or other topics of interest. I just keeping clicking 'open in a new tab' for all topics I'm interested in.

The worst mobile browser I've used is Bolt. Issues with navigating pages. Also haven't gotten used to enjoying UCWeb. OperaMini all the way.

How to make Egusi Soup[/size]

Ingredients

Egusi (Melon) seeds - 3 cigar cups | 600g
Red Palm Oil – 2 cooking spoons
Beef – Best cut and Shaki (cow tripe)
Fish – Dry Fish and Stock Fish
Crayfish
Pepper and Salt to taste
Vegetable – Pumpkin leaves or Bitter leaf
Seasoning – 3 Maggi or Knorr cubes
Traditional Seasoning – 1 Okpei (optional)
Tools I used

Cooker: Buy it in USA | in UK
Deep Pot: Buy it in USA | in UK
Spice grinder for grinding egusi (melon) seeds: Buy it in USA | in UK
Spatula: Buy it in USA | in UK
Chopping board: Buy it in USA | in UK
Knives: Buy it in USA | in UK
Before you cook Egusi Soup

Before preparing the soup, soak the dry fish for about half an hour. Boil the stockfish for 20 minutes and leave in the pot with the hot water to soak for about an hour.
Much closer to your cooking time, grind the Egusi with a dry mill. Grind the crayfish and the dry pepper separately and set aside. Wash the vegetable to be used. Cut into tiny pieces.
Boil the shaki, stock fish and dry fish in 1 litre of water till they are well done. First sign of a done shaki is that the cuts will start curling on itself.
Wash the beef to be used for the soup and place in a pot and start steaming at medium heat. There is no need to add water at this stage. When the meat is done, add 3 cubes of Maggi/Knorr. This method makes the meat cook faster while retaining all the taste. Also meat contains lots of water and you will notice that the water content increases as the meat starts to boil.
Cooking Directions

There are two main methods of cooking egusi soup. These we will call oil before egusi and egusi before oil. Confusing? Not.
Oil Before Egusi

Put 2 cooking spoons of red palm oil into a dry pot and set on the stove to heat. As soon as the oil is clearer, add the ground egusi and start frying. This should be done at low heat to avoid burning. Keep frying till you see the egusi getting drier. One sign of this is that it will start sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Now, start adding the shaki/fish stock little by little while still turning the egusi. When the stock is exhausted and you feel that the soup is still too thick, you can add more water. If your choice of vegetable is bitterleaf, it should be added now as well.
Cover the pot and cook for 30 to 45 minutes. The egusi is done when you notice that the oil has risen to the surface of the mix and separated from the mix. If this is the case, add the fish, shaki and meat. Also add pepper and salt to taste. If pumpkin leaves (or any other soft vegetable) is your choice, please add it now.
Cover the pot and leave everything to steam together for 5 minutes.
The egusi soup is ready to be served with amala, Eba (garri), pounded yam or cassava fufu.
Egusi Before Oil

This method produces a healthier egusi soup. This is because there is no frying involved.
In this method, as soon as the shaki, fish and meat are done, remove them from the stock and place in a different pot or plate.
Add the ground egusi to the stock and cook for 40 minutes. You will notice the clear egusi oil coming to the surface of the soup.
Add 2 cooking spoons of red palm oil, the meat, fish, bitter leaves (if it is your choice of vegetable) pepper and salt to taste and cook for another 10 minutes. Now, add the pumpkin leaves if is your choice of vegetables, stir the soup and turn off the heat.
The egusi soup is ready to be served with amala, Eba (garri), pounded yam or cassava fufu.

Enjoy. . . .

The 'egusi before oil' style is easier to prepare because attempts to fry the egusi (in 'oil before egusi') may result to a burnt concoction. But if successful, this method produces a much thicker soup and aroma.

Thumbs up dear! You never fail to disappoint. Your people must be extremely proud of all the money spent on educating you.

I was about creating a thread with similar topic before I saw this. I had been browsing with Chrome initially. To download movies. Ordinarily I'd been using the Chrome because of Google speed but decided to try Mozilla with another video download. The Mozilla beat the Chrome speed hands-down. Almost twice the download speed of the Chrome browser. It's faster than Opera even. I haven't bothered trying it with Windows IE.

But why is it so? Why is Mozilla browser faster than Chrome? Or does it have to do with the Modem (MTN ZTE)?

@ Zeal, you didn't give your own opinion.

To the best of my knowledge, I should have said a close tie between P Obi and T A Orji, but after going through Onitsha recently and seeing the changes there, I concluded that T A Orji is still in a special category of his own. The mumu award goes to Orji.

topsyking: THE DAY I HEAR A IGBO MAN BECOMES THE PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA, I WILL RENOUNCED MY CITIZENSHIP..cos they will take us back to the craddle instead of moving us forward

Correct your grammar. It's 'renounce' not 'renounced'.

Who brought about the drastic re-alignment and improvement in PHCN, NAFDAC, Budget Monitoring Office, Banking industry (consolidation era), Finance ministry and a whole lot of other key sectors of the country? Bro think before you comment.

Tribalism is an archaic and illiterate concept, but I can only imagine what Nigeria would become if someone like Dora Akunyili or Barth Nnaji were to become President of Nigeria. Well time will tell.

lepasharon:

I kid you not.

Yuck! Going through the comments make me feel as if I'm watching 'Fear Factor'!

Just last weekend at a wedding of a colleague, I'd helped in serving garden-eggs and kola. Finished serving and went to a corner to munch my own piece. I was watching something else while eating the garden-egg and noticed that it tasted funny. A bit sour. Looked down at what I was eating and saw this huge white maggot I had chewed in half. The remaining half was still wriggling inside the garden-egg.

At first, it was the usual 'aaahhhh' and then spitting but honestly, I was a bit tempted to continue chowing the thing. WTH.

When I was younger, a wall gecko fell from the ceiling and landed on the plate of rice I was eating. The food was not wasted.

And then the usual black maggots and caterpillars found in pepper-soups and other soups prepared with 'mangala' fish. That one is too common even.

Just last month when I was at Owerri, I'd gone to use the ATM at First Bank, Weatheral Road. A mad man had packed his stuff just by the fence of the bank. A Mopol man saw this man and in their usual aggressive manner, shouted at the man to vacate that area.

Now the mad man was slow in packing his stuff to leave the place. I was through with my transaction and had left the bank premises. I had taken the road that ran by the fence of the bank. At that moment I was passing the area where the madman was packing his stuff. Mopol man was shouting at the guy to leave. The man was behind a small structure under construction and the Mopol man couldn't exactly see the guy (and the madman was busy packing his things to leave).

Next thing I heard was a c.ock of a gun and this Mopol man just fired a shot, few feet from where I was passing. The bullet hit a stone and fragments from the stone flew and hit me on the cheek. Now I was just imagining what would have happened if that bullet had hit a hard spot and bounced up instead of penetrating the ground.

This policeman would just change the whole story and maybe label me a criminal just to justify his discharge of that gun.

These people are just trigger-happy. They eagerly anticipate opportunities to use those weapons without giving much regard for the consequences. We shouldn't give them that opportunity. Many of them get away with murder.

lekanolas: The famed author of “Rich Dad, Poor Dad,” filed for bankruptcy after losing a $24 million dollar lawsuit
However, the declaration of bankruptcy is seen in financial circles as a smart business move, taken to shield Kiyosaki’s estimated $80 million wealth from judgement debts .

Kiyosaki's net worth is estimated at USD80m, Rich Co Inc is judged to be bankrupt.

Who is still insisting that the man is broke?

Billyonaire: I am sure 99% of the Nairalanders do not have access to the Book by Achebe. Until I have a copy, I will not speculate. But the most salient question is 'What Achebe wrote' IS IT TRUE ?

The book was published late Sept in London and will be released to the US market October 11th at roughly $19 per copy. It is expected in the Nigerian market later. You can place your order at Amazon.

@ Billyonaire, as to your question, see a review of the book by the highly talented writer Chimamanda Adichie in the London Review of Books.
www.lrb.co.uk/v34/n19/chimamanda-adichie/things-left-unsaid

safarigirl: Achebe has said his thoughts, Ken Saro-Wiwa did same, of all the Yoruba authors, how many have wrtten their own version of the war?

Prof. Corruption, why don't you take your intelligent arguments to a publisher? Were you there when this war happened? Did you have a first-hand experience or are your arguments based on what you read or heard on the radio? only those who were directly affected by this war know what really happened, it's not through what you read on wikipedia or some other random site that you assume you're a sage on the matter, and yes, there will be biased views, for those who were in the heat of the war, it was an injustice, for those who were eating amala and ewedu in the comforts of their home, it's all fair in love and war, so people shouldn't come here trying to sound smart.

No Yoruba person will ever understand this war because they have never had 3 million people wiped out fighting for a cause they believe in, hell, i doubt they've ever believed in squat! You'll come here and defend awolowo on line, but if e reach to fight, you no dey, and don't give me that cr.ap bout being too intelligent, cos it's not like your intelligence has gotten anyone anywhere. it is sentiments that take people to war, whether some admit this or not.

I had a history teacher who was Yoruba, and he never stops singing the praises of Biafrans, as far as he's concerned, for a black nation to go to war with world powers, create their own ammunition and hold strong for three years, is an achievement in it's own right, many have not lasted that long, and no other black nation in this world can equal that.

Nigeria's engine has failed, all the awos, ojukwus are dead, Gowon is a mallam, he will say what benefits his people, plus he's the one who committed the crimes, so it's not like he won't vindicate himself.

Hmm... I've never told anyone this before: I Love You Babe.

unlessgod: Let's not pretend that men don't find women...but after they have finished playing and want to settle down, they start to look for wifey material. So being the saint that I am and since I am sick of reading "Tips on how to find a man" or "Why you are not married yet?" etc etc, i have decided to help you guys out. What are my credentials? Well, i'm not married, neither am i a rapper or a divorcee, but I would like to consider myself "wifey material". Yes, i said it. Thank you very much. Now, shut up and read.

@OP, I don't know if you are the author of the write-up or if it came from another source. But if you are, you know next to nothing about marriage. You still have a lot to learn quickly while you have the time.

Billyonaire: That's one of the most foolish scam every ran by a corporate organization. And you know how much they say the Plane is worth in case you dont want the plane but cash ? 25m Naira! MTN is sick!

Guy chillax. MTN didn't specify the kind of airplane it was going to give out.

nanotechy: what d Bleep was dat? 'even' nokia? Excuse me! Are u aware nokia has the best camera phone ever made? Nokia 808 (pureview) is equiped with a 41mp camera
