Religion / Re: Police Denies Pastor David Elijah's Assassination Attempt Claim by Ucheparker(m): 6:39am On Sep 08, 2018 |
Kennydoc: Bullet holes at the back!........SMH. so does that mean the bullets actually entered his body and exited through without drawing blood since he was shot from the front? Or did the bullet somehow hit his ass while he was still sitting down? |
TV/Movies / Re: What's Your Favourite Movie So Far This Year? by Ucheparker(m): 6:21pm On Aug 28, 2018 |
darkelf: And also watered down in the sense that it was far inferior than the book. I know movie adaptations don't live up to the same quality as the book, but this one had very significant changes. And it ended up feeling very "teen" ish. I was disappointed but I guess it would be a good movie for some. 2 Likes |

Scholar01: I love Codex Alera! Nothing compares to it. I'll try and get this other one you mentioned. But I doubt anybody can match the humorous way of telling stories that Jim Butcher has. |

AkpaMgbor: There is a running joke in my little readers club that maybe GRRM is waiting for the Trumpet before he will release the next book........but I heard he is working on the GoT TV series script so in theory the book is basically finished. |

Scholar01: I was just thinking that if I finish this thread without any mention of "Jim Butcher" then I'll never visit nairaland again! Well not something that drastic but the man is a genius! Have you read the Dresden files!? Your mind would be blown. |
Education / Re: Palindromes: Let's Catch Some Fun by Ucheparker(m): 12:33am On Nov 23, 2017 |
Longest English palindromic word is - Redivider Longest sentence is "Now Norris, Sir I mail a new opus. So be it...." and hence predictably ends "Tie boss up, Owen. Al, I am Iris. Sir, Ron won." No need to say copied right? |
Business / Re: Compare Nigeria's Naira To Other African currencie and Be Shocked At The Result. by Ucheparker(m): 3:18pm On Oct 17, 2017 |
Just30: That's just a typical example. I actually wanted a very simple one that you could understand. I lived and worked in Ghana, everything from food to transport to utilities like cutting your hair or watching a match is relatively more expensive than Nigeria. Means that you'd still use the Naira to acquire more in those countries is the point I'm trying so hard to make. |
Business / Re: Compare Nigeria's Naira To Other African currencie and Be Shocked At The Result. by Ucheparker(m): 7:33am On Oct 16, 2017 |
Dee60: Don't mind this unlearned OP. Has never been to any of those countries or he won't write this rubbish of a post. And people are already being deceived and talking down on Nigerian economy. With what is written I. The article ₦82 can buy the equivalent of a ₦100 recharge card in Ghana because they sell recharge card at 1cedi. To cut your hair in Ghana you would need to spend 6 cedis which the equivalent of ₦492 and this is exactly what they use to cut your hair in the village!. A lot of people have written about currency devaluation but few Nigerians understand what that means but in essence if you devalue your currency you can just reassign value of one note to a lesser note! In simple terms 1 Ghana cedis should buy exactly what ₦100 should buy but the naira is ahead of the cedis by ₦18! And this is just for cedis, I'll bet that all of the countries on that list also devalued their currency too. So their 1 whatever their currency is should also buy what ₦100 should buy except south African rand on that list. |
Music/Radio / Re: Eminem Disses Donald Trump At The 2017 BET Hip Hop Awards by Ucheparker(m): 4:04pm On Oct 11, 2017 |
XX01: That was very intentional. He ryhmed with it, it's called a fake stumble used more by battle rappers but Eminem is a class act for using it. |
Webmasters / Re: Mark Zuckerberg Responds To President Trump's Claim Against Him by Ucheparker(m): 6:14pm On Sep 28, 2017 |
SalamRushdie: Thanks for the correction but sadly that's the only thing your brain could see from that post. Maybe you really do believe the spew of shit that comes out of your mouth. Now I feel pity for you. |
Webmasters / Re: Mark Zuckerberg Responds To President Trump's Claim Against Him by Ucheparker(m): 11:24am On Sep 28, 2017 |
SalamRushdie: You sound like a conspiracy theorist/brainwashed fool. I'm not an American, neither Republican or Democrat but I've been paying attention to the news and making research. Something that is clearly not in your dictionary. Colin Copernick started this protests and initially just sat down while the anthem played. Until a teammate advised him to kneel, that team mate was a former army ranger! This kneeling started under Obama's administration. I saw the video of the Philando Castro's shooting and I wept for hours. The officer involved was not convicted. I wish I know you in person cos you're beyond words at this moment. The shootings of unarmed black Americans has been happening for a long time now and yet there has been NO CONVICTIONS! I am only taking my time to address this because I have read the most about this particular issue and feel this particular point would stand the most chance of penetrating your unbelievably thick skull. The kneeling respectfully while the anthem is being played is the most peaceful and respectful protest I've ever seen. It has brought attention to the reason why the protest is being done but they're still fools like you who focus on the act and not the reason beyond the action. |

seunny4lif: This poop is freaking old! I'm pretty sure if you're not a Manchester or Liverpool fan you're club can't hold a candle to Arsenal. |
Religion / Re: King James Version Of The Bible Is For Homosexuals And Rastafarians–ghanaian Rev by Ucheparker(m): 8:27am On Aug 05, 2017 |
sonoforogun: The problem is that very few would notice the jewels this guy just dropped. Neither it's importance or it's significance. No other Bible version is more complete than the KJV it might not be easy to understand, but it has no deleted verses. |

Business / Re: Top 10 Strongest Currencies In Africa by Ucheparker(m): 8:21pm On Jun 15, 2017 |
MrCEO69: My guy he won't understand. I'm sure that guy has not traveled out of this country. I lived in Ghana for a while and even though the economy has improved their currency is still trash. When I'm being sent money from Nigeria it becomes a lot more a cedis. The mistake most of them make is that they think 1 cedi is eqaul to 1 naira and so forth . Meanwhile 1 cedi is equivalent to 100 naira but the exchange rate is 79 naira which means you would get an extra of 21 naira on every exchange you make per cedi. The Naira is stronger than a lot of the currency in that list judging from the fact that the OP didn't include purchasing power into his misleading post. 2 Likes |
