No to independence wins |
uzoexcel: watching the 'counting' on sky news...the 'yes' guys are really serious...but i have to applaud the interest shown by every scottish person eligible to vote even down to the 16yr olds...in some counties the turn out was 100percent meaning that every eligible person turned out including the old..I hope and pray nigerians can take a cue from this when the next election comes around.Same here I am sure the yes guys will take it |
yungchop: Omo please scotland be an independent country jare, so that your currency will be less that the dollars. Hereby making it possible for people to visit the place, pounds is a very stupid currency! Ma papa nearly sell him house because ma brother wan go school for UKi think the independence of scotland will present a lot opportunities like you rightly mentioned....the other thing that amazes me is how easy and simple its for people to go their separate ways. Maybe we can try same in Nigeria....if scotland succeeds.......i dey laugh oh!!!! |
The fate of the United Kingdom is at stake today as Scotland begin voting in a referendum on becoming an independent state, deciding whether to unravel a marriage that helped build an empire but has increasingly been felt by many Scots as stifling and one-sided. The question on the ballot paper is simplicity itself: "Should Scotland be an independent country?" Yet it has divided Scots during months of campaigning — and in 15 hours today, the future of the 307-year old union with England hangs in the balance. More than 2,600 polling places opened today at 7 a.m. and will close at 10 p.m. Turnout is expected to be high, with more than 4.2 million people registered to vote — 97 percent of those eligible. Polls suggest the result is too close to call, with the pro-independence Yes side gaining momentum in the final weeks of the campaign. First Minister Alex Salmond was casting his vote near his home in northeastern Scotland. If the Yes side prevails he will realize a long-held dream of leading his country to independence after an alliance with England formed in 1707. Pro-independence forces got a last-minute boost from tennis star Andy Murray, who abandoned neutrality and signalled his support of the Yes campaign in a tweet to his 2.7 million followers early Thursday. Anti-independence leaders including former Prime Minister Gordon Brown have implored Scots not to break their links with the rest of the United Kingdom. On a foggy morning in Scotland's capital, Edinburgh, a heavy stream of voters began arriving at a polling station in the city centre the moment it opened. The mood was electric, tinged by nervousness. One of the first, Anne Seaton, said she had voted Yes — "because why not?" "Scotland got under the English Parliament by mischance," in 1707, she said. "It's time now for Scotland to make a deliberate decision for independence." Voters expressed a mixture of excitement and apprehension about Scotland's choice. Thomas Roberts said he had voted Yes because he felt optimistic about its future as an independent country. "Why not roll the dice for once?" he said. Once the polls close, ballot boxes will be transported to 32 regional centres for counting of the votes. The result is anticipated Friday morning. Roberts said he was looking forward to watching the results in a pub, many of which are staying open overnight. "I'm going to sit with a beer in my hand watching the results coming in," Roberts said. But financial consultant Michael MacPhee, a No voter, said he would observe the returns coming in "with anxiety." He said Scottish independence was "the daftest idea I've ever heard." Well, I hold a contrary view and looks forward to the emergence of the world's new state. Just like the american elections, I will keep another late night, here in 9ja, to watch the results as they reel in! |

Took this picture on my way home yesternight.....a supposedly mad man texting! I began to wonder if he is truly mad or an economic driven homeless destitute. If he is mad, who is he texting, where does he charge his phone, why are his contacts not supporting him? Those questions continue to bother me and fill my mind since last night after I took the shots! What do you think?

PAGAN9JA: to their Pagan ancestors. but unfortunately west europeans have gone over a point of no return. they have lost all their tribes. (except for Britonic people of France, etc.) The only solution for them is neo-Paganism. |
Yaksson: How will u know u are buying the correct thingthanks for the clarification! |
pasqal09: These ingredients, how can it be obtained?you can buy them in the market......check stores that sell lab. chemicals or reagents |
Nairalandi: op...because you bring out your time and energy to teach the whole world these,thats how God will bringout His time and energy to protect you from this evil virus called EBULA.....AmenThank you...for wishing this on me, receive same in Jesus mighty name..... |
phreakabit: In the absence of raw ethanol would using ethanol based alcoholic products be an option?using an ethanol based product will reduce the composition of the ethanol, chemically, the covalent bond binding hydroxyl group to carbon might be broken during the formulation of the ethanol based product, meaning that it is no longer a potent ethyl alcohol, thereby reducing the active ingredient in the home made sanitiser. I would strongly suggest that you use raw ethanol........well distilled local gin- ogogoro could be a good substitute! |
mods.....at this season, this should be front page pls! |
krall: Pictures of your prototype are highly welcome.sorry none to upload! |
handysuzy: Call it a counter thread if you mustYou nailed it.......thanks. E |
AriDsexy: Jumping the broom,some people do that.yes very true.....another one is the tying of knots |
Mutuwa: True,coz we lack creativity and have alot of frustrations in our art and literature forcing us to imbibe a foreign norm.the other point to be made is that the white wedding is now considered as the authentic or main wedding.....if you have complete the traditional aspects with all obligations fulfilled, you are still considered as 'not married' except the white wedding is done. This stance creates room for more spending and you hear people saying, i did traditional, court and white wedding......three weddings all to satisfy the society! |
Wsfirstlady: Cool... I think i'll try it out, but without aloe-vera gel.good-luck! |
Iolite: Is the Aloe vera compulsory? Cos I can't stand the taste if my hands get close to my lips.It is optional, although it has antibacterial and antifungal properties, and it also does double duty as a moisturizer, keeping your hands soft and safe from getting dried out. |
Yomieluv: Another reason to love NL. |
In this ebola season where cost of hand-sanitisers have literally trebled and the composition of these hand-sanitisers are in doubt, why not make your own home-made hand sanitizer from ingredients you select. This is an excellent project for kids, now that schools are not resuming soon and you'll save money, protect yourself from germs, and can customize the scent of the hand sanitizer, and be sure of the composition of the hand sanitisers you are using this period. It is not rocket science but simple chemistry, so lets go:? 2/3 cup 99% rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol) or ethanol 1/3 cup aloe vera gel 8-10 drops essential oil, optional (such as lavendar, tea-tree, vanilla, peppermint, grapefruit) bowl and spoon funnel recycled liquid soap or hand sanitizer bottle Nothing could be easier! Simply mix the ingredients together and then use the funnel to pour them into the bottle. Screw the pump back onto the bottle and you're ready to go. Wash your hands regularly with soap, apply your home made hand-sanitiser and put your trust in Jesus and be ebola free! God bless ![]() |
