i need to know what you guys thinks, are women naturally dull, or they just let the men have thier way because of what they can get from them.

Eargly awaiting your responses.

RomanceRe: Mistakes Women Make When Choosing a Man by vincentbab(m): 11:33am On May 06, 2009
in my opinion, most womenm do not even know what hey want in the first place.
and i also think that the craze for materialism has influenced the idealogies of our women. nowadays no one cares how you got what you have, he most important thing is that youve got it.
the biggest mistake i think they make is to believe everything a guys tell them. thay are all the same.

RomanceRe: The Girl I Want To Marry Is SS: I'm Dying Inside by vincentbab(m): 12:10pm On Mar 13, 2009
hi, you see life will often present you with tough choices, you have to decide what you want. if you let your emtions get the better of you, you will make a terrible mistake. think about this, do you want to raise children who will fall sick every month? or spend your life living in fears of the possiblity of losing a child.
i think you should take your time to think well, and make a reasonable choice. if you decide to take the risk, then get ready for anything.
Christianity EtcRe: Judas Iscariot - Hero Or Villian? by vincentbab(m): 12:00pm On Mar 13, 2009
I really dont like talking about issues like this. but if you asked me for my honest opinion i woiuld simlpy say judas was fuffilling God's plan for humanity, somebody had to betray jesus, it was just unfortunate that he had to be the one, what if it was peter, james or john, the same thing would have happened, jesus would still have to be crucified.
so i think judas should be regarded as a man who fufilled God's purpose for his life.
PoliticsMeet The Owners Of Stolen Goods by vincentbab(op): 10:13am On Mar 13, 2009
BENEFACTORS OF STOLEN GOODS
Vincent Nzemeke
Wonders will never end, perhaps in situations like this karma is the right word. We all saw it coming, the signs were boldly written on the wall, even prophets had foretold it. That one day, this kingdom built on salt and sand would fall. True to their words, this proverbial city is near collapse, it is gradually approaching its plunge. Like a pack of dominoes, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) is gradually losing its grip on the reins of power.
The media in recent weeks have been awashed with news about the vinegary fate that has befallen the acclaimed giants of African politics. The party has lost no fewer than 4 elections cases in the tribunals and supreme courts. Where they have managed to retain power, pandemonium is the order, as citizens are now in a state of ambivalence about the party’s future.
Although the party reflects tranquility from the outside, reports suggests that the party is presently in a quagmire, as top shots and chieftains rally round to forestall further damage to the party’s reputations.
While the PDP tries to put its house in order, The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has not been spared; it has received its own share of the blame. The commission has come under severe scrutiny for the quasi elections of April 2007. There have also been calls from several quarters for the removal of its loquacious chairman Maurice Iwu, Who appears to be undaunted by the turn of events.
PDP’s major headache would be the twist of scenario in the west, where they are losing grip with express speed. Penultimate week, the Supreme Court ordered the ejection of Olusegun Agagu from the seat of power in Ondo state reinstating Olusegun Mimiko, as the duly elected governor of the state. In Ekiti state, the situation is similar, as another court order Segun Oni to resign as the governor of the state pending the conduct of fresh elections.
In Lagos, the party is in a state of non-existence, as the present administration under the Action Congress, has won the hearts of the people.
The political turf in Ogun presents yet another sour tale of the party. Chieftains are at logger-heads in a battle for supremacy. Yet the PDP claims to be in peace.
Even if Nigerian were fools, we are certainly not blind to see that this concomitant of thieves is paying dearly for the stolen goods. In this age of judicial independence and rule of law, our judiciary is now living up to its surname, as the last hope of the common man. The people’s stolen mandates are being restored. If the trend continues, then better days are far from the PDP. It’s likely to have become a shadow of it-self by the next elections in 2011.
In the words of Malcolm IX, “He, who must kill to live, will have death waiting at the sentinel of his door’. The People’s Democratic Party at the moment is face to face with the ghosts from its disgusting past.
They are all benefactors of stolen good, who someday will have to pay back whether as a group or as persons.

LiteratureThe Fall Of Mallam Nuhu by vincentbab(op): 2:59pm On Jan 07, 2009
The Fall of Mallam Nuhu

Before now Mallam Nuhu Ribadu was just an obscure police officer. Perhaps like every other person, he had a dream to sometime in the future rise to the echelon of his chosen career. But before long that dream saw the light of the day when he was appointed by the former president Olusegun Obasanjo as the head of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). Though many thought he was not the most competent hand to hold such a sensitive position, he was quick to prove his critics wrong. He was at the fore front of the anti-graft war, like a warrior he fought fearlessly. His benefactor Olusegun Obasanjo was his back bone so he could step on toes without looking back. As expected Ribadu’s quest to rid the country of the canker worm of corruption did not augur well with some fellows. He was seen as an insignificant person sheltered by the wings of the president; his approach was rather too abrasive and raised a lot of eyebrows. But Ribadu remained undaunted in his pursuit, he brought political heavy weights to their kneels and made a mince meat of those who considered themselves sacred, in no time he had metamorphosed into a lime light figure, his effrontery received commendations from citizens both at home and in the Diaspora, awards flowed in aplenty for him to the hurt of many. His adversaries were many, they frowned at his every move, some sections described him as a whip in the hands of the former President, others accused him of selective justice, but for Mallam Nuhu those opinions did not count as long as he fought ferociously, disgraced high profile politicians and exposed corrupt government official. In December 2006 Ribadu yet again silenced his critics when he bagged the Silver Bird Man–of-the-year Award for his gallant achievements in the anti-graft war. While his adventure lasted, no one could envisage his imminent change of fortunes, many had thought that he would be retained as the Chairman of the anti-graft commission even after the expiration of Olusegun Obasanjo’s tenure, but it was not to be. Obasanjo’s successor Umaru Y’ardua trode on a different path.
Soon after Obasanjo’s tenure, Riabdu’s long voyage to hell began. He hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons, he was sent on a compulsory one year study at the Institute of Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPPS) in Kuru, Jos, a development which was seen by many as an attempt to get rid of him, then came his tussle with the Attorney General of the Federation, Michael Aondoakaa, which generated an elongated controversy, after which he was demoted and redeployed from the chairman of the commission to a deputy commissioner and replaced by a tooth-less Farida Waziri. Another drama unfolded on his graduation at the Institute of Policy and Strategic Studies as he was whisked away by Security officers. But for the intervention of the President, his certificates would still have been with-held by the Institution; Mallam Nuhu Ribadu was finally nailed to the cross on Tuesday December 23 2008 on the grounds of “serious misconducts”.
As expected his dismissal has fuelled yet another round of controversies. While some opine that it is affront to the rule of law, his adversaries affirm that he had been paid in his own coin, as the saying goes that “What goes around comes around. Mallam Nuhu’s ordeal could be described as Karma in effect, the same fate that befell his victims while he chaired the commission now gawks him in the face. Posterity will perhaps consider Mallam Nuhu as a man who came, saw, conquered and left with lifelong injuries as rewards for his labour.

check my rhymes

In town
On gown
Like a clown
With a frown

Who seals the deal?
Of clouds roaring aloud
Like a need in deed
I pray I play

Shallow and hollow
Follow or sorrow
Fallow like a sparrow
I mush I must
Poems For ReviewRead The Longest African Poem Now by vincentbab(op): 9:10am On Sep 29, 2008
hi people its veencent,to celebrate nigeria's independence i have written a long poem,this poem has won me a prize at writers-network.com as the longest african poem,do read it and let me know your candid opinion.enjoy.

INDEPENDENCE DAY

Every day in this country is no day
Radio brings no good news

Sweet voices echoing sour tales

Blood here, tears there, death's near

5 it's worse on television

Gory sights to behold

Explosions and pipeline vandalization

Anxious reporters trooping

To yet another funeral

10 And you ask me to celebrate?



Monday mornings are undesirable

Good roads our every day psalms

Rush hour managers frowning

Hawkers shouting and running

15. between aisles and in fumes and smokes

Portable water? That's luxury

Yet governors dance and feast

It's Independence Day.



Elections are free and fair

20. Many thanks to rigging

And ballot box snatching

Electoral officials; the smooth criminals

Twisting figures to favour old fools

Your vote is your right

25. Only when they make it count

Yet they invite us to celebrate

Another independence day.

Due process, rule of law

Adjournments and jurisprudence

30. Plenary and gerrymandering

Appointments and dismissals

Tribalism and nepotism

Whatever these words mean

I hear them every day

35. Nothing works here

Yet they celebrate another year



Giants of Africa only in books

Diplomats; experts of lies

My kindred's live through pains

40. Hunger bites the toddler's belly

They cry like toys all day

Old folks told tales of yesteryears

We were God's own country

How did we get here?



45. Presidents chasing second terms

On the alter of thorn filled antecedents

Dollar constantly oppressing Naira

My country is always indebted

Begging for debt relief

50. Yet "honourable's" dance about

Celebrating without limits



Brothers eloping country homes

Some are prisoners in America

Sisters trading body for money

55. Father's working like ants

Mother's praying for better days

Senators with round bellies

Full of tax payers funds

Nodding heads to melodious tunes

60. Songs of another independence day



Holed roof-tops

Leaking when it rains

Tattered uniforms covering thin bodies

Fragile chairs and tables

65. Cracking with every move

Feeble tiny black boards

Hanging on cracked walls

Angry teachers unpaid for months

Typical of our public schools

70. Yet they call us to felicitate

Another independence day



Graduates of shallow knowledge

Products of defunct ivory towers

Lunatic touts at bus stops

75. Never had an * Alma-mater

My sister stopped at form five

And you ask me to celebrate

Another independence day









Power stations all over the land

80. Yet we dwell in black out

Generators are our saviour

Carbon-monoxide and catarrh; our reward

Men in black, nuisance at check points

They are miserable at night

85. We tread on bad roads void of lights

Yet ministers celebrate all night

It's our independence day.



Blocked drainages

Handiwork of our contractors

90. Flooded Streets on rainy days

Dividends of our democracy

Under mainland bridges

Home of many brothers

Tell the beggars, the ones on the road

95. Who sleep in market stalls at night

To celebrate this Independence Day.



Drivers sweating on steering

Conductors screaming at high pitch

Passengers scrambling for seats

100. Rushing for our daily breads

Inflation or deflation

Things are dare here.





We were raised like goats

With sticks and rods

105. Pains don't pain us any more

We're Nigerians, it lives in us

That's why we celebrate

Another Independence Day.



Fifty years of stagnation

110. Full of military oppressions

And rancid imaginations

The president talks about noble intentions

Yet we live in deplorable conditions

If only we pay more attention

115. You'll see this country

Needs divine intervention

Especially on our Independence Day.

June 2008.





Commentary.

Our developmental process as a country leaves much to be desired, after "Donkey years" of independence a country as endowed as our's is still plagued by myriads of problems and questions that may never be answered.

This is definitely one of my best poems; the poem clearly identifies a few of the many problems that afflict our nation today.

The diction is quite simple and the climax is splendid, every stanza passes a message.
