 Foreign Affairs / Re: Gaddafi Falls: Libyan rebels in 'final push' for capital by Tunmi(f): 4:10pm On Aug 22, 2011 |
Thank goodness someone can see beyond the facade. NATO soldiers proceeded to drink alcohol, until they got very drunk. Then the leader told them to violation the virgin daughters in gang slam style. When they’d finished Desecrating the girls, the NATO leader told them to cut the bosoms off the living girls and bring the bosoms to him. They did this while the girls were alive and screaming. All the girls died hideous deaths. Then their severed bosoms were taken to a local square and arranged to spell the word “LovePeddler.” The grieving father spoke to a convention of workers, attended by the global fact-finding delegation. He was openly weeping, as all of us should. NATO’s offenses in Libya are as terrible and unforgivable as Syria’s castration and mutilation of the 13 year old boy that shocked the world. Yet so long as NATO’s the guilty party, the western media has looked the other way in distaste. Some of us are paying attention— We can see that NATO has gone rogue in Libya. And the Libyan people themselves consider it unforgivable. Last week, 2000 Tribal Leaders gathered in Tripoli to draft a Constitution for the country, as demanded by the British government. Notoriously, British warships and U.S. drones pounded the streets of Tripoli with bunker bombs and missiles for days and nights close to where the Tribal Leaders were meeting. From Tripoli, it felt awfully like the British were trying to stop the Libyan people from bringing this Constitution to life. http://www.veteranstoday.com/2011/06/07/going-rogue-natos-war-crimes-in-libya/ |
| Religion / Re: Question For Atheists And Religious People by Tunmi(f): 3:30pm On Aug 22, 2011 |
I love this thread and the responses from the users. Given religion's hold on Nigeria, I did not think anyone would dare differ from the norm. And I am happy to know that others do their independent research and critical thinking  I thought I was odd for not being religious. I went to both Churches and Mosques, and while I liked the amazing creativity of the buildings, I was not a big fan of sermons because I could poke holes through the logic. And I've known this since I was about 9. I read the Bible like a book, but I didn't have a translated copy of the Quran. I believe that there is a supernatural being, this is my personal belief. I believe in God in a spiritual sense in the same way that I believe in Karma. I don't knock others' beliefs so long as they do not impose their beliefs on me and my life. I like the diversity of it all. I know I'm gushing, but I am just so happy to know religion has not completely blinded all Nigerians. One thing I am curious about is the traditional gods and the traditional religions. What happened to that? Being away from Nigeria, and spending awesome time in the library helped me connect with the old Nigeria. "Sango," and "Saworoide" also helped. That's the religion I can get with not the ones that the missionaries and the traders brought to Nigeria. I keep expecting to see Nigerian anthropologists and sociologists tell our stories our way. I see it in the foreign libraries but I was not fortunate enough to see it in Nigeria. I fault my laziness on this part, or the lack of information and/or resources. Okay, I'm done gushing. 1 Like 1 Share |

@lastpage thank you for outlining this. I was getting irritated at the women who were supporting this. As if, we're just supposed to ignore our part in this. I would love to shoot this down in a court of law. |

Sagamite: He is pretty good. He reminds me of Jay Jay Okocha. okada_man:Dem dey leave player by the net, dey leave am by himself. You never leave a player by himself if you're a defender. This one wey I see dey stand alone, hand waving and no kin Naija person dey im side. |
| Sports / Re: Nigeria Vs France: U-20 World Cup Quarter Final @ 9pm by Tunmi(f): 11:20pm On Aug 14, 2011 |
The keeper is actually pretty good, otherwise the score would've been 5 or 6 to 1. The defense is fucking atrocious (save for the sweeper), pardon my French, and I'm pissed 'cause I play defense, and there are just some things wey defense must never ever do. |
| Sports / Re: Nigeria Vs France: U-20 World Cup Quarter Final @ 9pm by Tunmi(f): 11:15pm On Aug 14, 2011 |
France just scored again. 2 goals to 1. by the captain FOFANA. Naija goalkeeper dey try but that defense is rubbish. Absolutely rubbish. The goalie and the sweeper dey do the work of four. The midfield don fall asleep. and Naija go soon come with her own heart attack. |
| Romance / Re: Fashola Signs Law Against Abandonment Of Pregnant Women by Tunmi(f): 3:02pm On Aug 09, 2011 |
Princek12: I'd rather the law mandate child support from the father of the child to go to the welfare of the child via the mother. Rather than sign a bill that infringes on a person's freedom, and puts the responsibility solely on the guy, I'd rather the legislative body in Lagos create a bill that creates a division, under health, for pregnant women abandoned or not. Hmm that would have to be a government sponsored operation. That'd be convenient if healthcare did not pose a problem. Abandoned women are not the only ones in need of support, there are poor women and several many others. |

| Politics / Re: Is Torrorists Reserved For Only Muslims? by Tunmi(f): 12:44pm On Jul 31, 2011 |
Bingo. Bill Maher mentioned it on his show and he called everyone on their double standard. This is an act of terrorism, it is terror. And it is Christian terrorism. In what most news organizations call Muslim Terrorism, the person may not mention Islam. But as long as there is a link between him/her and Islam, it's Muslim terorrism. This guy actually wanted to start "a Christian onslaught against Muslims" (see Crusades) http://www.alternet.org/newsandviews/article/642038/bill_maher%3A_why_is_the_ft._hood_shooter_a_%22muslim_terrorist,%22_but_the_norwegian_murderer_not_a_%22christian_terrorist%22/ |

| Politics / Re: Former Lagos State Governor Faces Final Trials by Tunmi(f): 2:29am On Jul 05, 2011 |
ndu_chucks: How about a system of checks and balances, so that no one branch of government, on the federal or the local group, is too powerful to face the law. (This is from what Bankole says). I think we have a strong group of people who can implement those laws in a court of law. So, if our legislators (I laugh) can fix those laws and implement laws that allow checks and balances (this is hoping our legislators know how to write laws--law school, universities, legal expertise, anything impressive really), then I think we might be a bit better off. Cause it is sad when someone is above the law. Again with the comparison, but even former US president Clinton had to face the law. |
| Celebrities / Re: Where Is Bimbo Akintola by Tunmi(f): 1:56am On Jul 05, 2011 |
You can search "bimbo akintola" on YouTube to find her old movies. I know she has, or is supposed to have, a new movie out called 90Ninth Day with Bassey Ekpeyong (sp). The two of them were in some other movie about domestic abuse, relatively recent. I miss her as well but I know that when she comes out with something, it will be good. She's one of the reasons I miss Naija. What I wouldn't give to interview her. |

claremont: [color=#006600]Thank you. qleyo: I will applaud you. Thank you. For some reason we're supposed to just welcome these things with open arms because the person is a Nigerian in a foreign country. That makes it even worse. It's like applauding a student who misbehaves in school. That's the representation out there. Even if everyone is doing it, that doesn't make it right. All it takes is one bad apple to ruin the cart, and that paints all Nigerians badly. qleyo: Maybe, just maybe it will. |

[b]Try to lay off the insults. This is not a black and white issue but we should acknowledge when wrong is wrong. 1. She took multiple fertility drugs. Not one, multiple. What? Were they Tom-Tom? Where did she get it from? If a hospital, then I'm thinking that there must have been some sort of plan when it came to delivery. If the multiple fertility drugs were from a hospital. 2. She should pay the money back, as best as she could. This kind of thing makes it even harder for people, and the UK government, to be humanitarians. What she's doing now will have a negative impact in the future, it will. And that she did this when the UK, and several other countries, are crippling under a bad economy does not make it better. 3. How did she afford the plane ticket? Now if I were the woman 1. I would NOT take multiple fertility drugs. 2. I actually would want to pay back the system that helped deliver my babies. Someone posted that she was paid to sell her story. If that is true, I would use some of that money to pay back the hospital/HMO/insurance or whomever it is that handles the financials. [/b] |

[b] (1)a rectangle has one side 5cm longer dn d oda.d area of d rectngle is 300cm,fnd its perimeter. Proper spelling next time please. Let x = the other side since we know something about one side--the one that is 5cm longer. So we have two different lengths: x and x+5. x+5 is the side that is 5cm longer. Since we have the two different lengths, as a rectangle does, we can use the formula for area of a rectangle. Area = length * height Area = x * (x+5) 300 = x * (x+5) and solve for x. When you do find x, use it to find the actual dimensions of the rectangle, remember there is x and there is (x+5). Then enter this into the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle: Perimeter = 2(length * height) (2)d sum of a number and its square is 30,find d number. Let x represent "a number". So, its square would be represented as x^2 (x to the power of 2). Now you can write a mathematical equation: x + x^2 = 30, solve for x. (3)d sum of ages of a mother and her daughter is 42.if d product of their ages is 243,three yrs ago.find their ages. Let m represent the age of the mother now. Let d represent the age of the daughter now. So m + d =42 For the product three years ago, the age of the mother is (m-3) and the age of the daughter is (d-3). The mathematical equation is: (m-3) * (d-3) = 243. Here you can replace m with 42-d because that is what m equals from the equation above (m + d = 42) or you can replace d with 42 - m. You get that from the equation as well. Solve for the sole variable, the letter in the equation. Does this make sense? Any questions? Also, what grade/class are you in and are you using a calculator or not? If so, what kind of calculator? [/b] |

| Celebrities / Dagrin Is Dead, But: by Tunmi(f): 5:39am On Apr 23, 2011 |
Ever since DaGrin's death, there has been a mass of wails for the guy. And, my condolences. But, um, the kid operated a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol. Did people happen to forget that or is it just convenient to omit? My focus is this: Has there been any awareness for drunk driving because his death makes the perfect case for some type of public broadcast against drunk driving. |

| Celebrities / Re: Wizkid Drops Out Of School by Tunmi(f): 6:25pm On Apr 19, 2011 |
It is nice that education is still fancied in Nigeria. I was impressed when Naeto C got his degree. I would like him to go back to school and have a degree in something. The fame and money goes away, they will eventually unless you become legendary like Fela (and Wizkid ain't no Fela or even Sound Sultan). No one can take that degree away from you. Hopefully he will eventually go back and surprise us like Naeto did. I'm only listening to him because of that degree. |

hercules07: Exactamente. Hopefully this will follow course. Jonathan needed a scapegoat and he got it. Hopefully, it does indicate a shakeup in cabinet similar to what he did in the few weeks of being president following Yar'Adua's death (may his soul rest in peace), where he hired competent people--like the Financial Officer from Goldman Sachs. |

| Business / Re: Brazilian Investor Offers $100bn For Nigeria's 23 Power Plants by Tunmi(f): 5:31am On Mar 29, 2011 |
These companies know that they are on a land mine with Nigeria. It's good business planning. No we should not sell to one company. Divvy it up with efficient foreign interests holding 1/3, another foreign interest holding 1/3 and Nigeria holding 1/3. Divvy it up somehow buy definitely not allow one company to buy all 23 of them. I actually am impressed by this. I've only read about monopolies in books with Standard Oil but this is really interesting to note. So, no on the single buyer. Just because we want something so badly does not mean we need to punish ourselves and posterity, which is what would eventually happen with a monopoly--any kind, foreign or native. |

I like his flow, it is always something new. And his voice has a way of hooking you. This song did a pretty good job incorporating the hit titles around this period, it's creative. Safe "Listen, silence shhh is the best answer not violence That's why I bring war on the violins This is Armageddon dawg, hear the sirens And no I am not retiring. No I'm never tiring These lyrics that I'm firing But don't be dismayed cause in this bank there's hiring For instance There's no resistance The flow persistent They're so consistent Other rappers distant They should have listened Because I'm the engine vroom, and the gear and the piston" , "I'm the heart police dog I'm cardiac arresting. The best thing And you're just microphone testing." , "Listen, yeah Mo gbona feli feli I'm spittin' like Machiavelli" , "Rappers are really silly You rappers milli vanilli."--reference to the lip-synching scandal |

Imagine if our actors got toned, so much eye candy lol. And the women too. The directors should really add some health-conscious scenes into their movies, discreetly of course. Take away the wigs and have Nigerian hair styles with the braiding, plaiting, weaving, twists, etc. I have so much hope for our film industry. |
| Celebrities / Re: Lets Talk About Desmund Elliot by Tunmi(f): 8:46pm On Mar 20, 2011 |
Hollywood has long depicted women as thin, blond, and white. Anything that differs is considered bad. But lately, the tides are changing. And Hudson is one of that. So, it was a pleasure to see someone that majority of women can associate with just by looking at her. Hollywood's perceptions of the ideal woman is not real so yes I liked that Hudson was big-boned. She looked natural not like a round peg in a square hole. And it was a relief to see something realistic. |
