firetrap: lynpetra; the only difference between marriage and dating is that in marriage your father has legally handed u over to ur bobo to be fvcking you as he so pleases.

if you cannot be faithful while ur dating you will not be faithful while ur married, the only difference is that you'll come up with a new set of stupid excuses to justify ur actions.

PoliticsRe: Proposed National Conference: A Case For Kwara State by twosquare(m): 8:35pm On Oct 24, 2013
silent don: In 1817, Afonja of Ilorin was the Are-Ona
Kakanfo - the Head of the Army of the Oyo
Empire, under the Alaafin of Oyo - Aole (The
King). That year, Afonja sent an empty
calabash to the Alaafin Aole, thereby
signifying that he no longer acknowledged the
authority of the Alaafin. Aole had no choice
but to accept and in the traditional fashion, he
committed suicide, but not before Alaafin Aole
uttered his famous curse on the Yorubaland
recorded by Samuel Johnson at page 192 of his
"History of the Yorubas", 1921.
From Alaafin's palace forecourt, Aole shot
three arrows, one to the north, one to the
south, and one to the west, saying: "My curse
be on you for your disloyalty and disobedience,
so let your children disobey you. If you send
them on an errand, let them never return to
bring you word again. To all the points I shot
my arrows will you be carried as slaves. My
curse will carry you to the sea and beyond the
seas, slaves will rule over you, and you, their
masters, will become slaves." Then, smashing
an earthenware dish, he shouted, 'Broken
calabash can be mended but not a broken
dish; so let my words be irrevocable."
The curse seemed to take immediate effect
and there had been neither unity nor peace in
Yorubaland from then till today.
The Oyo Empire flourished for over three
hundred years. Professor I.A. Akinjogbin, the
emeritus Professor of History put the situation
as follows: "Up to about 1780, the Oyo Empire
remained at the peak of its military strength.
Its economy was strong, its external trade in
slave export unfortunately expanding, its
industries functioning and its craftsmen
confident and proud of their workmanship.
There were quarrels between the ruling
classes as to who would have a greater share
of this growing wealth; with the successive
Alaafin, apparently on one side, and the
chiefs, led by the various Basorun of the
period, on the other side. Each side attempted
to draw in the ordinary citizens, presenting
itself as their champion but it is doubtful
whether the common people saw any
difference between one group and another. In
any case, the quarrels were always fought
within the constitutionally laid down
procedures - the chiefs would say that the king
had been rejected, and the king would meekly
take his own life after which a new king, from
the same royal family, would be installed.
Some times the Alaafin would use his
prerogative to choose a Basorun, that he
thinks would be more friendly towards him,
only to discover that between one Basorun
and another, there was no difference in their
relationship with the Alaafin. The point being
made is that, in spite of all these events, the
economic conditions within the empire were
good, life was safe, trade routes ran in all
directions, some citizens were indeed noted to
be fabulously rich and some of the
Alaafin embarked on prestige projects."
1793 - 1893 were the darkest years in the
history of Yorubaland. Two things, acc-ording
to Professor Akin-jogbin, happened bet-ween
1816 and 1824, which irrevocably changed the
history and fortunes of the Yorubaland. First,
in 1816, the jihad, which had been raging in
the Hausa Kingdoms since 1804 was extended
to NUPE (Tapa) next door to Yorubaland and
the newly converted Nupe lost no time in
declaring war against the Akoko and Akoko-
Edo in eastern Yorubaland. Second, Afonja in
1817 invited Alimi, the Muslim itinerant
preacher to Ilorin. The Professor put the
sequence of events as follows: "Afonja in 1817
invited Alimi, the Fulani itinerant Muslim
preacher to Ilorin. Alimi was not new in
Yorubaland, for from about 1813, he had been
going round such northern Yoruba large towns
as far as Ikoyi and Ogbomoso. He had lived for
three years in Kuwo, Solagheru's town, and
was intending to settle there when Afonja
heard of him and decided to invite him to
Ilorin. He must therefore be presumed to have
known Yorubaland fairly well and also to have
been conversant with the on-going Fulani
jihad. Afonja was not a Muslim and the
invitation could have been conceived solely as
a means of strengthening his military might
with the charms that the Muslim preacher was
expected to prepare. However, for Solagheru,
who had earlier been invited by Afonja also
from Kuwo and who might have known Alimi
there, Alimi's arrival could be seen as an
important addition to his jama'a at Oke-Suna.
There is indeed a distinct probability that
Solagheru might have influenced Afonja's
invitation of Alimi to Ilorin, although the aim
is not clear."
"A number of discerning citizens clearly saw
the danger in the new scenario, but so afraid
of Afonja were most of them that they did not
dare to tell him. Two persons however took
courage. The first was Fagbohun, the
Commander of the left flank of Afonja's army,
who thereby incurred his wrath and had to flee
to avoid being executed. The second person
was Agborin, Afonja's younger brother, but so
confident was Afonja of his own ability that he
again brushed the warning aside. Frustrated,
Agborin committed suicide."
After dan Fodio was proclaimed Commander
of the Faithful he swore to the
disinterestedness of his intentions, saying: "If
I fight this battle that I may become greater
than my fellow or that my son may become
greater than his son, or that my slave may lord
it over his slave, may the Kabbir (infidel) wipe
us from the land."
There was no imperial army and no central
bureaucracy. Islam was the cement.
Alimi died about 1823. Afonja was Alimi's
benefactor but that did not stop Abdulsalam,
Alimi's successor, from overthrowing and
usurping Afonja's rights. According to
Johnson's History of the Yoruba, Abdulsalam
became the ruler of Ilorin and heir of the
whole of the Igbomina and what is now known
as Oshun (Epo) area which Afonja had kept
under his authority since 1797. Thus those
who had led the rebellion, according to
Professor Akinjoghin, finally lost the
revolution. Abdulsalam sent for a jihadist's
flag from Sokoto which he served as Emir of
Yoruba

PhonesBBM On Android, IOS Versus Whatsapp: Why BBM Has The Advantage!! by twosquare(op): 10:34pm On Oct 16, 2013
It's no secret that I prefer BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) over WhatsApp. My WhatsApp status says, "Prefer BBM." But perhaps some among you might think I prefer being a dinosaur and stick to BBM, even as the world takes to WhatsApp. So I decided to make a list of why I preferred BBM, and this is especially important now, because in a few days from now, BBM will be available on Android and iOS smartphones. But let's look at some numbers first. In June 2013, WhatsApp claimed over 250 million monthly active users. Compared to that humongous number, BBM in May had a measly 60 million monthly active users and 51 million daily active users. Game over for BBM then? Throw in the towel and forget about launching on Android and iOS? Not quite, because when you consider that WhatsApp seems shy of revealing daily active users. And when you dig a bit deeper, you find that while WhatsApp claimed a record 27 billion daily messages per day sent on June 13 this year, BBM handles 10 billion messages each day, which BlackBerry claims is nearly twice as many messages per user per day as compared to other mobile messaging apps. So, user to user, BBM users send and receive a lot more messages than WhatsApp users and are also far more engaged - almost half of BBM messages are read within 20 seconds of being received; And here's why: Getting Ds and Rs right: Perhaps the biggest reason why I prefer BBM is the Delivered (D) and Read (R) signs next to each message. If a message hasn't been delivered I don't see a blue D and till it is read I don't see a green R. Now, surely some of you are wondering what's unique about that? Doesn't WhatsApp have the two tick marks that perform the same function? Here's WhatsApp's dirty secret - the two tick marks don't stand for Delivered and Read. Don't believe me, check out WhatsApp's own FAQ. The single tick mark stands for message delivered to server and the second tick mark stands for message delivered to device. So, if you've been upset with your husband for not responding to your message despite the two ticks and you are assuming he has read it but is busy flirting with someone else, chances are he has not. Or maybe he has read it, and is actually flirting with someone else.

While BBM can't tell you if he is indeed cheating on you, it can tell you with certainty that the message has been read and not just delivered. Security: BlackBerry despite the terrible sales figure remains King of security, and BBM, thanks to BlackBerry's awesome security heritage is light years ahead of WhatsApp on this critical front.Since WhatsApp is phone number based, anyone who has your number can add you. Problem is, it exposed my name and number to others in that group. That's a massive security hole and primarily because WhatsApp uses phone numbers. BBM in comparison uses the device PIN or user ID for Identity. In contrast, BBM has a far more elegant system where without you authorising another user, he/she cannot send you messages. And if you delete that user, he needs to send you another authorisation message which you have to approve. No need for embarrassing conversations on why you've blocked someone, as in WhatsApp.

Privacy: If you're using WhatsApp and shift/surrender your mobile number, your contacts could be accessed by the new owner of that number, which is a significant breach of privacy. WhatsApp users also get messages from address book contacts, even if they don't want to stay connected. And in case you really don't want to receive messages from someone, you have to block the number, which can be quite embarrassing for both parties. In sharp contrast, BBM doesn't disclose unnecessary information unless you want to display the same.

Another significant issue with WhatsApp is that it displays the time and date when a user was last active. This hasn't bothered me, but for heavy IM users, especially teens and college students, this is a significant privacy concern. While you told your boyfriend you were studying and couldn't chat with him on WhatsApp, the app unfortunately broadcasts the fact that you were active till 3 AM on WhatsApp.
Foreign AffairsRe: China Blasts US Shutdown, Calls For A ‘de-americanized’ World by twosquare(m): 8:48pm On Oct 16, 2013
BEIJING –With days to go before the United States debt default deadline, Beijing aired its frustrations with the shutdown Sunday, saying it was time to consider a “de-Americanized” world order.

With $1.28 trillion in U.S. Treasuries, China is easily the biggest foreign holder of American debt.

China has also funneled billions of dollars into private American investments – to the tune of an estimated $54 billion in 2012 alone.

“As U.S. politicians of both political parties are still shuffling back and forth between the White House and the Capitol Hill without striking a viable deal to bring normality to the body politic they brag about, it is perhaps a good time for the befuddled world to start considering building a de-Americanized world,” according to a stinging op-ed article by state news agency, Xinhua.

The article, published Sunday, conveyed Beijing’s frustration with the spending and debt impasse that has paralyzed Washington for more than two weeks.

"Days when the destinies of others are in the hands of a hypocritical nation have to be terminated, and a new world order should be put in place, according to which all nations, big or small, poor or rich, can have their key interests respected and protected on an equal footing,” the piece added.
