What did she say is her beef with Obama?

She hates gays and abortion?

Acidosis: when you talk while pounding, lumps of yam would be generated.

make sure you don't talk when your removing the feathers from a pre-boiled bird/fowl, or else, new feathers would start growing from the skin..

Boil on any part of your body signifies- "wealth/money on the way"

Guyyy!! U sure say we no grow up together? Especially on the No 2.

Ahh!! I just saw something traumatic. It looks like her head is bigger than her bum. Or am I mis-seeing things?

ujchief: I be wan ask wetin be msg, but make i respect myself pretend say i sabi am like others dey form.

LOL. No mind dem. MSG: MonoSodium Glutamate. Na the main enzyme for Ajinomoto and those other white magi dem. U fit google am sha.

@ Topic, oga this your story sounds ... ermm... I for wan believe you small on the wax coating on the noodles, but then why should they use a toxic wax to coat food? Again, the common method of cooking, which you advice against, is even the method recommended by the makers and is written on the pack. So who we go come believe?

Since primary school, they (abi was it rumours sef?) used to tell us that MSG dissolved the intestines. That one na story.

Where I for see time begin sieve Indomie when I'm already running late in the morning?

sadeiyare: Not your friend,younger brother but your personal Angel. God is with you

Amen. Amen.

I also noticed that whenever I mistakenly sleep with my legs crossed, I'd have that slow-motion running dream. My siblings say the same thing.

I've even dreamt once that a guy pointed a pistol at my chest, point-blank, and shot me. But I didn't give that dream much thought. It didn't bother me one bit. I don't know why. That happened 14 years ago.

But my scariest till date happened in 2002. It had rained that night. No light. Both my parents were not around. Just my siblings. We were lying down in the parlour. I was struggling in this half-sleep, half-awake state (where you are asleep, can't move, but conscious of everything around you) when I suddenly heard this high-pitched whistling sound, felt like everywhere was spinning, the sound was getting louder. I felt like I was dying and my spirit was leaving my body. I then heard this female voice saying "Quiet, quiet, quiet" continuously, with a whispering voice. Honestly, I thought I was gonna die. All I could do was to be shouting "Blood of Jesus" and "Holy Ghost fire". (All for my mind O cos I couldn't wake up). This continued for about a minute till I struggled and then woke up with a start. Just outside the window, was a bucket of water. Water was dripping from the roof into the bucket. This dripping sound coincided with that voice saying "quiet, quiet" in my dream. I don't know how they related. It took about 3 hours before I could sleep again that night.

Mine is about dogs. Very big dogs. Chasing me. When I was younger I would try to run but try as hard as I could, I would only be moving in slow-motion and it would seem as if they would get me. Sometimes I may be with someone familiar, like my younger bro, and I would have to tell the person to hold my hand, before I could move fast enough. It was really scary for me then.

What pisses me off greatly these days, is my ability to (whenever I encounter danger) jump up and start gliding in the sky. The thing just happens by reflex. Last night even.

Don't mind me O.
The comments were few, but the number of viewers indicated otherwise. I got tempted. No be my fault.

BTW, what is wrong in a guy broadcasting his last wish about where he wants to be interred. You don't like it?
- Go swim in a well.
- Use ur head to demolish 3rd Mainland bridge.
- Go mop the river Niger.
- Go wash a live transformer.

a) Do all of the above.
b) Thunder fire you.
c) Kindly migrate to another thread.
Choose one.

What's there? Moreso, if she'd caused the reason for the separation.

I was shocked when my mum told me she'd bought it at N80 per cup on thursday. Said the traders were complaining that the supply from up North had drastically reduced because of the Boko menace.

savcy: Oh dear. Only,this idea will end up on the drawingboard. No electricity. It would b callous of Nigerians to even encourage them to come here. I wudnt setup such a plant here in 'dark' Nigeria if I had a company of such.

How come does IVM churn out buses, trucks and other automobiles on a daily basis?

grandstar: It does not make economic sense.

For a car plant to be successful, it needs to invest about a $1bn and produce about 200,000 cars.

We are talking here about economies of scale.

If Nissan does set up an assembly palnt, they'd start championing for higher tariffs on imported cars and having us purchase old model Nissans.

Note that Nissan will be producing newer models whenever they come out. This was what Peugeot did for years. It's a win/lose situation for Nissan/Nigeria.

Your comment doesn't make sense to me. Could you please explain further?

First you say they'll have us purchase old models. From where?

Then you say they'll be producing newer models.

How is it a win/lose situation?

Lord_Reed: You are kind of funny, so if my paper bible tears or the cover falls of I should keep using it and not get another one because it shows vain pride?

Please man get real. Condemning the use of new technology in the service of the Gospel just makes you sound like a fanatic. Please tell me in your church you don't use tv/projectors to extend the viewing because it will distract the members watching tv.

When your bible is torn, you replace it.

Please get my point. What is the i-Pad actually designed for? That the bible and other related apps are made available on a mobile device is a very good thing. But the i-pad was primarily designed for mobile computing, entertainment, gaming, etc.

We come to church to receive the word of God, worship and be refreshed. But that i-Pad is better used in a place where it won't constitute a distraction to other members of the congregation. My church has a cine projector but how can that be distracting, when what is being shown on the big screen are bible passages and other messages which the speaker intends to pass across?

Bro honestly, once someone whips out an i-Pad or other device in the church and starts flipping away, those around him/her are bound to focus their attention on that person. Brief seconds albeit, but that shouldn't have arisen in the first place. Just as phone calls should not be made inside the church. Now where the church leader is the one who engages in this practice, every other person will follow.

All I am saying is that, there are aids which are being EFFECTIVELY used in the propagation of the Gospel (cine projectors, satellite TV, podcasts, etc), but the use of an i-Pad, laptop in place of the bible on the pulpit, is an over-kill. Bordering on pursuit of materialism.

Eifeh: Obj started it so let him face it what is my business their, Yoruba vs Awusa, Awusa will surelly win. Can this make chelsea fanz forget about falcoa?

Oga please tell. How did Obj start it?

The only people I have issues with are those "adults" who subjected themselves to that academic embarrassment under the guise of securing a degree. No one else.

hbabe: Infact, using Ipad makes the pastor look trendy.

And there you have it.

@ Acidosis, I understand the point you make. I'm a Catholic and I recall the period when GSM phones became readily available to the public. The leaders and the Laity were not s.tupid when they instructed that parishioners should switch off their handsets when coming into the house of God. Those were items of distraction. Whether the phone rang or not. The leaders should lead by example. Tell me: what would first come to mind, if a priest was to approach the alter with a cell phone or a laptop?

Someone has said the i-Pad made her pastor look trendy. Another said it made her pastor look sexy. If I was looking for fashion tips, I would know where to go to. But definitely never in the house of God.

@ OP, Joagbaje, etc, this is my opinion on the question: it is plain SHOW-OFF. Vain pride and arrant display of megalomania. If you intend to follow tech trends, stick with the cine projector, sound systems, etc. But please leave the bible alone. Cine projectors were made to display bible passages and other relevant activities going on in the church. If the pastor needed to consult other bible translations, he could ask someone from the congregation or even those people who sit with him (elders?) to read for him.

You need to cross-reference or take down notes? Simply come with a pen and note-pad. It takes up a far smaller space than that mobile device. And what makes you think that if you don't read that verse of that particular translation from your device rather than hearing another person read it, you won't understand the passage?

I recall a certain time Pst Chris Oyakhilome read bible verses from his laptop on the pulpit. And now we have people doing it from their i-Pad. What happened to the previous devices? They couldn't contain present day translations or what? Why did they then dump the laptop and now use i-Pad?

My friends, it is that insidious danger of vain pride. Showing off. Keeping up with the Jonses. You don't do "keeping up with tech trends" in the church. It is a special place of worship. Reserved for God.

I'm saying all these because I want to show to you that you really don't need to bring and use those devices in the church. They would only serve to distract and generate other thoughts that are not wanted at that time. Your Bible, a note-pad and pen would just be sufficient to cover all the writing you wish to do. Use your bible the way it is.

But taking a holistic view of the issue, I think a bulk of the problem lies more with management. Nigerian Airways a la Virgin Nigeria then Air Nigeria, operate from the same home environment as Arik Air, Aero Contractors, Dana Air, etc. Why did Air Nigeria fail where the others were thriving (albeit with the occasional peculiar problems reported about Arik and Co)?

Dana Air has had its operating license restored and would soon commence operations, meaning it is still a going concern. Arik has been opening new routes on a regular basis and Aero in my opinion is not doing too badly. So what went wrong with Air Nigeria? Funding? Low patronage?

I believe it was poor management. NICON Insurance does not seem to feature among the top 5 or even 10 companies in the Insurance industry today. But I guess that's a story for another day.

In the private corporate sector, the strongest will always thrive. It's not a peculiar "Nigerian" problem.

We should however support our indigenous companies whenever we purchase goods and services. There are some good companies out there. Other nationals would do the same.

chelseabmw: Wow..........So common Ethiopia that just gained their independence that day here.....Na wah ooo....Nigeria nor dey shame self?

LOL. Oga na wa you O. Independence from who? Was Ethiopia ever colonized?

Not like that gives them any edge over us O. Considering the quantum of resources we have at our disposal, compared to theirs.

They take their aviation industry very seriously. Almost comparable to Qatar.

Depends on how senior the boss is and the level of familiarity. It is safer to err on the side of caution. Sit in the front. If your boss thinks other-wise, s/he can ask you to sit in the back.
It's akin to taking a seat in an unfamiliar senior's office before being asked to do so.

My boss considers the issue mundane He just goes to the front with the driver. Na u sabi wetin you wan do for back.

HayZee-06:
Oh! Dats so kind of d mother, bt I wonder who d child would resemble

The lady's egg had already been fertilized with a spe.rm cell from the husband. So the child's entire genetic makeup would come from both parents. The granny provided the womb that allowed the embryo to develop.

The baby would resemble the parents.

Funny I thought the same thing earlier this morning. I'd been in the village since Monday the 3rd and that was the last time I looked in the mirror. I'm not really bothered about how I'd be looking. Maybe when I get back to town.

What's your own? The OP quoted the source.

Hey!! I'm so happy for her. Told my mum the news and she started jubilating like it was her own sis who gave birth. LOL

Bisjosh: The first and only step is to get a lady to marry

Big FAT brown lie!! Its what you folks use to deceive awon guys.

Shaw007: dude come'on. . .i got this from high school. . .you yawn 2 reduce d tension on ur ear drums so they dont explode. . .but i guess its also natural eh!

Yeah and swallowing too. When you are on a long flight and feel the pressure on your ear-drums, swallow. To equalize the pressure.

Jasmine Jetz: BLACK PEOPLE DONT BLUSH BLACK PEOPLE DONT BLUSH

Black people do blush. It's just that our melanin colouration masks the reddening of the face.
My boss is very light-skinned and when he gets emotionally agitated, he face turns all red. In a funny way.

@OP, I didn't see anything in the article about sex and... and... forgive me, I must to talk am, eja.culation (both male and female). I believe that process is also a weird phenomenon.

With regards to hiccups, I think it is a reflex action that arises when articles (e.g food particles, small objects) are lodged along the oesophagus. Brain senses this and sends impulses that cause the diaphragm to spasm in an attempt to dislodge the particle. That is why most hiccups go away after drinking plenty water. Hiccups don't just arise for no reason.

Na so I learn am for book those days O. Contrary opinions may abound.

bittyend: I'm spiritual right now and I'm keeping it a hunnit, ya dig?

O Boy u smoke ganja true true. Sorry O.

This thread just brought back a very sad and traumatic memory.

*crying*

LOL. Funny babe.

Legit1: OP its like asking that infamous question, "how will this stop our leaders from being corrupt?"

I thought the infamous question was "... and how does this affect the price of Ga... ahem, em Gamalin 20?"

Fake site. Fake offers. I wonder what you intend to do with people's personal details?

Crappy news. I did not find anything enlightening about the report.
