Education › Re: Unilorin Nigeria: Ex-student Wins Alma Mater In Lawsuit by Tolexander:
Since 1999?

OMG!
The university was not
pleased and had then
approached the Supreme
Court seeking to upturn the
judgement of the Appeal
Court, but on July 11, 2014,
Justice Peter-Odili, giving a
judgement supported by four
other justices of the Supreme
Court, said that the Appeal
Court was right in its decision.
Apart from asking the
University of Ilorin to go
ahead and pay Akinola the
N12m that the Appeal Court
had awarded in his favour,
the Supreme Court also
awarded an additional N200,
000 in his favour against the
university.
I don't see UNILORIN being pleased with the outcome at the Supreme court. Seems there is a need for them to take the case to Hague, world court.

Letters written to woo gurls landed many guys in trouble anyway. Some guys shared their experience in this thread;

Romance › Re: When Ladies Were Wooed With Letters by Tolexander: 9:08am On Aug 19, 2014
That was the days of writing letters. Later came the days of sending love cards. A card i can really remember then was/is royal card(can't recollect if the company still exists).
I can remember there was one given to my sister that i stole to give my crush. Tippexed the name of the sender and sent to, i wrote my name and the gurl i was sending the card to on it.

In 2000 and thereafter came the days of e-mail, days of yahoo, hotmail et al. Sending messages or e-cards(e.g passionup cards) to the e-mail address of the ladies.

The very disadvantage of this e-messaging and e-card sending was that those ladies weren't the ones always checking their mails. Most times, their boyfriends, friends or siblings were the ones helping them with opening the email address and checking the inbox, giving them access to it anytime cos they have the password.

There was a day i sent an e-mail to a gurl we both had crush for ourselves. Her reply was 'fucck you tolulope'(my name). I was vexed and started keeping malice with the gurl. She later begged me and told me it was a neighbour(guy) that was helping her in checking her mail and i wasn't the only victim.
Romance › Re: When Ladies Were Wooed With Letters by Tolexander:
Another interesting parts of the letter writing is that it wasn't something you could just write in a matter of seconds.
You would need sitting down for hours or days to draft after consulting dictionaries and friends that are gurus in the line. Most times they were always of the same verses. Cos the verses were from the days of Witney Houston, Boys II men (the blues in the 80s in short), Celine Dion and later, westlifes.

After drafting the letter, one would now sit down calmly to write on a clean sheet of paper with very fine handwriting or call on a trusted friend or sib with a very fine handwriting to help write the letter drafted, with close monitoring so that there won't be any mistake. And if there is, that's gonna be another paper.

Many times, they weren't given by the persons trying to woo the lady/guy but the accomplice.
Romance › Re: When Ladies Were Wooed With Letters by Tolexander:
Naetochukwu: I wish those days will return.
grin
those days were good bro!

One would keep the letters for long at home reading and meditating on it, sustaining the emotional feeling. The problem with the letter then was if one's parent(s] sees it, one would definitely be in trouble.
A friend's mum didn't buy him 'aso odun'(xmas and new year wears) just because of a love letter he wrote to his classmate was intercepted by his other classmates and given to the teacher. His mum had to be invited by the teacher and given the letter.

Many people won't wanna keep a SMS for long cos it is an exhibit. Most especially the players.

Peter Obi is just an instrument by the PDP. Making APGA the political arm of PDP.

The opposition party doesn't need telling us the motive behind the resignation. Of course, we'd already known.

Agriculture › Re: Amazing Facts About Rats... by Tolexander: 9:23pm On Aug 18, 2014
opportunist: Let me add 1 more
Some species of rat in nigeria have taken human flesh as their primary source nutrition. They usually feed @ night while their victims sleep tearing off small bits of flesh @ a time from exposed skin. D victims don't usually wake during d process cuz d rat blows air on d wound while feeding. But d next morning.......
Still think rats r cute?
these rats are common in school hostels.
Peeling one's leg with their teeth, cooling the skin being peeled with the air from their nostrils and wiping the part with their whiskers.

that's why some guys do put on socks before sleeping.

This isn't a question for the pikins born from the last decade of the last century.

I felt so elated seeing a letter written to me by my first gurl then. Not funny i just burnt the letter last year after a decade of keeping it and reading it daily for the first 2 years i was given! Lol.

Agriculture › Re: Amazing Facts About Rats... by Tolexander:
• Rats make happy "laughter"
sounds when they
play.
this is observed when female rat is being forked by a male rat. The female rat do make a loud scream and laugh to the extent that one would want to know what they are doing.

NB: I'm not into rat p0rn o, just an observation!

• Although very curious animals, rats are also shy, and prefer to run away than confront a potential threat.Rats are extremely clean animals, spending several hours every day grooming themselves and their group members.
like in the picture below.
