^The "s.pambot" got it right after i typed it.

Couldnt be bothered reposting with another id (maybe some other time when i've dreamed up a really interesting moniker).

But if i should descend on whoever is sending that s.pambot after me though- dem go know wetin dem no know before.

Much like inserting drugs, i should think.

why did NASA spend millions to develop a pen that could write in space when they could have just stick to using pencil?

that seems to be an urban legend.



an explanation is on wiki and snopes:

A common urban legend states that, faced with the fact that ball-point pens will not write in zero-gravity, NASA spent a large amount of money to develop a pen that would write in the conditions experienced during spaceflight (the result purportedly being the Fisher Space Pen), while the Soviet Union took the simpler (and cheaper) route of just using pencils.

Russian cosmonauts used pencils, and grease pencils on plastic slates until also adopting a space pen in 1969 with a purchase of 100 units for use on all future missions.[1] NASA programs previously used pencils (for example a 1965 order of mechanical pencils[2]) but because of the substantial dangers that broken-off pencil tips and graphite dust pose in zero gravity to electronics and the flammable nature of the wood present in pencils[2] a better solution was needed. NASA never approached Paul Fisher to develop a pen, nor did Fisher receive any government funding for the pen's development. Fisher invented it independently, and then asked NASA to try it. After the introduction of the AG7 Space Pen, both the American and Soviet (later Russian) space agencies adopted it.

I use garlic to cook, and three days in a month I chew them raw.
This might not be proper for this thread, but, it's an old wives tale that after your periods.For a few days raw garlic is inserted into the womanliness to cleanse and act as an anti biotic.One is inserted into the womanliness in the morning and taken out at night.A new one is inserted at night and removed the next day.

keep sharing, this is very interesting.

don't think the ogbologbo don't know. they just taking their time

Cuddlemii:
I am half Calabar- Adiabo Ibonda and half Akwa Ibom- Ikot Akpa-Edok (both parents & that's all I know). I speak both Calabar & Akwa-Ibom very well but I don't know how to write it (although I can try by following the pronunciation)

The cuzin thingy was a joke on chat room back then. Just like you guys were assuming I was Dyt or so.

I dnt know if u missed the calabar food is over rated thread where I addressed the topic extensively & argued in favor of Calabars. Several times here I have talked about Calabar gracefully or being from there. I didn't polish Calabars on this thread because I am from there already I might as well be loyal to another tribe, that's unity(no need for division). If I had hyped it, I will also be criticized for bragging about it or discriminating.

I will increase my loyalty level next time, apologies to Calabars.

which calabar person talks like this?

wow, pretty impressive. 

I watch these makeover shows on tv all the time.

Geez.

@ topic

The best option is probably to go for the masters and then phd, like others have said.

Physics, like maths, is a very good course but the challenge is little information about their applications and edge in the job market.

But these are fields the world simply cant do without because they're very important for technological advancement.

Dont see why not.

She said it was stress.

I thought all that was over @ topic.

Moa salam?

Op

1. If you met a muslim who had been the victim of terrorist attacks from radical organizations such as boko haram, what would you tell them.

2. If you met a christian who was a victim of the same, what would you tell him or her.

Short answer, please. Using your own words and not too many Quranic quotations.

Also, apart from the " they are not muslims" argument.

Black armbands you dont say.

The fellow said e don do.

onila needs friends!

that's all.

what is it with these witches and children!!!!

k'oloun gba igi mo enu gbogbo yin o!!!

Evil company corrupts good manners.

Pastors are not hated in nigeria, whether rich or poor.

It's probably the diasporans who have imbibed bad habits and questionable friendships abroad, who are finding time to hate pastors

The op is grandiose.

He feels his threads and posts are important.

Because they thought pastors would be poor for life and were surprised to find some of them actually prospered.

Just tell them you dont have one @ poster.

That should weed out the unserious ones and make room for you to meet people who are more compatible with you, in an ideal world.

Any smell you dont like, block your nose or remove yourself from the vicinity of the odour.

If that's not possible then keep hollering about it everywhere.

Any of those options is fine.

I dont know which kind of parapo people want to start doing when armed bombers are roaming free all over the country just massacring others at will.

That doesnt make sense.

The thread has been seriously derailed that's all.

Usually people who want to chat, open separate threads to do so.

No biggie.
