If dats ur prayer, u hv lost it already even before u started. Who dont u go ahead and kill ursef first if death/doom is all u ever tink of?

Sir,

let us examine your service records. I consider
your generation a very privileged one, indeed. In
1975 at the age of 33, you were appointed the
Military Governor of the North-Eastern State,
present day Borno & Yobe states. In 1976 at the
age of 34 you became the Minister for Petroleum
and Natural Resources. In 1978 at the age of 36
you became the Chairman of the Nigeria National
Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). Today the reverse
is the case. Most Nigerians at age of 35 are still
unemployed and still living with parents. Many
are still not married. During your time you were
already Governor at this age. One major reason
for this unfortunate turn of events is that many
elders like you have refused to voluntarily
handover the baton to the next generation. Life
should be a relay race where one runs his race
and hands over to the next. In Nigeria many
elders like you have run their races and are still
holding on tenaciously to the baton. But Sir, I
have an important question here for you. The
question is simple, MUST YOU SERVE NIGERIA AS
A PRESIDENT ONLY? IS THERE NO OTHER
CAPACITY YOU CAN SERVE US EXCEPT THE
PRESIDENCY? It is very erroneous to imagine that
you can only serve Nigeria only in one capacity.
During the regime of late General Sani Abacha,
you accepted the appointment to serve as the
Chairman of the then Petroleum Trust Fund PTF.
The general opinion was that you served faithfully
in this capacity. Well done Sir! But you never
asked Abacha to vacate office for you as your
former subordinate in the army. Never! In fact
that would have been a dangerous move, if not
suicidal. Rather you served faithfully under your
former junior in the army. Sir, imagine if you take
on another job like the Chairman of EFCC or ICPC
or NDLEA. Nigerians actually need you to serve in
one of these capacities much more than they
need you in the Presidency. Mere mentioning
your name as Chairman of EFCC would drive
many corrupt men underground. But you
wouldn’t . Either the Presidency or nothing. When
are you going to handover to the next person? It
is either you do it voluntarily or risk disgrace at
the polls. In 1983 at the age of 41, you became
the Head of State. Most Nigerians in my age have
not had the opportunity to serve, but we still
remain committed to the Nigerian project. You
should rather be graceful to God and to Nigerians
for the numerous opportunities that have come
your way to serve Nigerians. Others are begging
for just one opportunity to serve. Sir, you have to
accept the stark reality on ground that you have
served your time already. That is life for you. You
run the race, you handover the baton for others
to run, you cannot hold on to the baton more
than is necessary. As a former head of State you
are already a member of the Council of State
Meeting. You have every avenue to channel your
views across. You don’t necessarily have to be in
a frontline role, you can serve in an advisory
capacity. That is still service. In conclusion, let me
state that the greatest beneficiary should you
emerge candidate of the APC would be President
Jonathan. It is crystal clear that you cannot defeat
President Jonathan in a free, fair and credible
election, even in Katsina State. Sentiments aside,
Jonathan would cruise to a landslide victory
should you emerge candidate of the APC. In fact
many political analysts believe that President
Jonathan wants you to emerge as the APC flag
bearer in order to secure a cheap victory. In
fairness to you, any of your Children would pose
a serious challenge to Jonathan more than
yourself. I do not see Nigerians electing a 72 year
old former Head of state to lead us in this Digital
era. With due respect to you Sir, you belong to
the Analogue age and therefore, will not fit in as
president in this digital era. This is the blunt
truth. Please do not enter the Guinness book of
world records on a negative note. Losing four
consecutive Presidential election would not augur
well for your reputation. It is in your best interest
to assume your position as an elder statesman.

Arsenal would have won dis match if Mourinho was not de one inm charge, but unfortunately he is, so its a lose game for dem. NO OFFENCE

Sentiment Aside, Choose The Most Beautiful Among The Three.

We’ve all gone through hard times. And we all get through them.
However, some get through them better than others. So what is their
secret? Most of it has to do with attitude. Here are 13 things to
remember when life gets rough:

1. WHAT IS, IS

Buddha’s famous saying tells us: “It is your resistance to ‘what is’
that causes your suffering.” Think about that for a minute. It means
that our suffering only occurs when we resist how things are. If you
can change something, then take action! Change it! But if you can’t
change it, then you have two choices: (1) either accept it and let go
of the negativity, or (2) make yourself miserable by obsessing over it.

2: IT IS ONLY A PROBLEM IF YOU THINK IT IS A PROBLEM

Many times, we are our own worst enemy. Happiness is really
dependent on perspective. If you think something is a problem, then
your thoughts and emotions will be negative. But if you think it’s
something you can learn from, then suddenly, it’s not a problem
anymore.

3: IF YOU WANT THINGS TO CHANGE, YOU NEED TO START WITH CHANGING YOURSELF.

Your outer world is a reflection of your inner world. Don’t you know
people whose lives are chaotic and stressful? And isn’t that largely
because they feel chaotic inside? Yes, it is. We like to think that
changing our circumstances will change us. But we have it backwards
—we need to change ourselves first before our circumstances will
change.

4. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS FAILURE - ONLY LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES.

You should just wipe the word “failure” right out of your vocabulary.
All great people who have ever achieved anything have “failed” over
and over. In fact, I think it was Thomas Edison who said something
like, “I did not fail at inventing the light bulb, I just first found 99
ways that it didn’t work.” Take your so-called “failures” and learn
something from them. Learn how to do it better next time.

5. If you don’t get something you want, it just means something
better is coming.

That’s hard to believe sometimes, I know. But it’s true. Usually, when
you look back at your life, you will be able to see why it was actually
a good thing that something didn’t work out. Maybe the job you
didn’t get would have made you spend more time away from your
family, but the job you did get was more flexible. Just have faith that
everything happens exactly the way it’s supposed to.

6. Appreciate the present moment.

This moment will never come again. And there is always something
precious about every moment. So don’t let it pass you by! Soon it will
just be a memory. Even moments that don’t seem happy can be
looked upon as something that you might miss someday. As the
country song by Trace Adkins says, “You’re gonna miss this…you’re
gonna want this back. You’re gonna wish these days hadn’t gone by
so fast….you may not know this now, but you’re gonna miss this…”

7. Let go of desire.

Most people live with “attached mind.” What this means is that they
attach themselves to a desire, and when they don’t get it, their
emotions plummet into negativity. Instead, try to practice “detached
mind.” That means that when you want something, you will still be
happy whether you get it or not. Your emotions remain happy or
neutral.

8. Understand and be grateful for your fears.

Fear can be a great teacher. And overcoming fears can also make you
feel victorious. For example, when I was in college, I feared public
speaking (one of the top 3 fears of all humans). So I find it humorous
now that not only do I speak in front of a group every day by being a
college professor, I also teach public speaking! Overcoming fears just
takes practice. Fear is really just an illusion. It’s optional.

9. Allow yourself to experience joy.

Believe it or not, I know way too many people who don’t allow
themselves to have fun. And they don’t even know how to be happy.
Some people are actually addicted to their problems and the chaos in
them so much that they wouldn’t even know who they are without
them. So try to allow yourself to be happy! Even if it’s just for a small
moment, it’s important to focus on joy, not your hardships.

10. Don’t compare yourself to other people.

But if you do compare yourself, compare yourself with people who
have it worse than you. Unemployed? Be grateful that you live in a
country that gives unemployment compensation, because most people
in the world live on less that $750 a year. So you don’t look like
Angelina Jolie? Well, I bet there are more people who don’t than do.
And you are probably way better looking than than you think. Focus
on that.

11. You are not a victim.

You need to get out of your own way. You are only a “victim” of your
own thoughts, words and actions. No one “does” something to you.
You are the creator of your own experience. Take personal
responsibility and realize that you can get out of your hard times.
You just need to start with changing your thoughts and actions.
Abandon your victim mentality and become victorious. From victim to
VICTOR!

12. Things can—and do—change.

“And this too shall pass” is one of my favorite sayings. When we are
stuck in a bad situation, we think that there is no way out. We think
nothing will ever change. But guess what? It will! Nothing is
permanent except death. So get out of the habit of thinking that
things will always be this way. They won’t. But you do need to take
some sort of action for things to change. It won’t magically happen
all on its own.

13. Anything is possible.

Miracles happen every day. Really—they do. I wish I had enough
space to write about all the miraculous things that have happened to
people I know—from healing stage 4 cancer naturally to having their
soul mate appear out of nowhere. Trust me: it happens all the time.
You just need to believe it does. Once you do, you have won the
battle.

ninz: Those are two distinct and very different words. You may want to look it up then apologize to the Op later.

Abeg tell him, my bro

It is not hard to contemplate that a lot of effort is required to make a relationship work and last and anyone who has been a part of one will completely agree. Even though most people agree that they need to add a little special something, most people really do not actually know what that special something is.
There are plenty of things that a couple can do to strengthen their bond in ways unimaginable and all they need is some guidance. The purpose of that is exactly that, providing couples with some extremely important tips that will undoubtedly lead them down a road that depicts nothing but a prosperous and happy future with your current or future partner.

1. Hey honey how are you?
A tip that most couples overlook is calling your partner in the middle of the day to simply say hello. This is a great gesture that lets the other know the you are still thinking about them, regardless of the fact that you just met each other a couple of hours ago. Do not think of this as one of those calls that is making sure that you are actually, where you are supposed to be. One of
the biggest problems with people is miscommunication and not understanding the real meaning behind certain behaviors. Therefore, it is vital that couples look at certain things positively and consider them nice gestures. Maybe you can even share a nice little laugh in between the short call, because we all know how important laughter can be for our health and relationship.

2. Communicate
While this may seem like a given, it’s amazing to me how little time the average couples spends communicating. Of course there is the usual chit chat and “how was your day dear?” kind of banter but getting down to the heart of it, real communication means infinitely more. If there is something that has been bothering you or an area of the relationship that is making you unhappy, simply ignoring it isn’t going to do the trick. Its best when the other
person in the relationship knows these concerns so that you can work on a solution together and hopefully keep the situation from getting out of hand. Even if things are great in the relationship, spending quality time discussing more in depth topics is a way for you to channel and heighten your emotional intimacy.

3. Make Time For You
Too many times in relationships, couples forget that they need their own space and end up compromising their own interests which of course leads to unhappiness down the road. Of course there is that beginning “honeymoon phase” in any relationship where it seems that nothing else matters except for the other person but…hate to be the bearer of bad news…that part fades. But like everything else in life, change isn’t always a bad thing.
Relationships transition and once they do, you will find yourself missing the friends, hobbies and other activities that you may have momentarily cast aside. Rediscover these interests and a little space will not only improve your relationship but also allow you to enjoy the things that make you who you are!

4. Complement One Another
It doesn’t matter if you have been together 10 weeks or 10 years,
complements don’t get old. It’s all too easy to get drawn into that lull of “comfort” (which is a great place to be) but since you are not only best friends but lovers too, it’s important to take the time to make each other feel special. While many of us are quick to point out flaws, we aren’t as quick to dish out complements. Take time to tell you partner you appreciate them and help boost their strengths. Everyone enjoys feeling like they have been recognized
for all the good they have done, whether this means making a wonderful romantic dinner or spending 30 extra minutes to get ready to go somewhere.

5. Get Somewhere Together
There is something magical about vacation. As kids we play in the sand, frolic in the waves and go to bed exhausted and happy. It’s important to take time out from the stress of work or of raising a family and to reconnect in a new and exciting place. No matter what your budget, set money aside for a weekend getaway every now and then. If a relationship consists of “all work and no play,” it’s one that will have a relatively short shelf life. Yes, we are creatures of habit but this doesn’t mean we don’t enjoy a break from the
routine ever now and again!

6. Compromise
At last, the one thing that seems so simple but really is hard to master is the art of compromise. Nothing is harder than really believing you are right and having to give up at least part of your battle for the sake of the relationship. There is of course a time to stand up for what you believe in and accept no less than you deserve, but when it comes to maintaining a harmonious
relationship, a little bit of compromise can go a long way.

7. A little compliment goes a long way
And lastly, don’t be afraid to complement one another. People just don’t understand how much even a silly little compliment can boost the morale of an individual. For example, tell your man how great his handyman skills are, even if they aren’t, but make sure that you sound serious enough so that he doesn’t think that you are ridiculing him.
Trust me, if you can make your man believe that he is unmatchable in handling that hammer or screwdriver he will not only always be willing to fix things around the house, but might actually turn into a real good handyman. These are three simple tips that most people don’t pay attention to, but can make all the difference in strengthening a relationship.

rapmike: U guys make me laff, seriously a gud number of u do nt knw wat is crappy abt majority of nollywood films? I rily dnt hav much 2 say again, wit al d over used themes by producers and story-writers, d unnecessary single characterisation by actors and actresses. Only a few Nollywood movies r kul.

And don't you tink it's same everywhere?? Hollywood isn't better. They are guilty too. Just dat we have this problem of not appreciating wat we have.

STRICTLY FOR THE GUYS ONLY.
Trust me guys, this will really go a long way to enlarge
your financial growth.

(1) flee from all persons with feminine appearance except
your mum & sisters..

(2) Don't make up or chat with any
Girl now and avoid their calls,don't even flash any
unsaved missed call..

(3) Do not smile with ladies you
meet in banks,shopping malls,markets etc..

(4) Always
keep straight face or Rumple it when in public
transport..Do all these and you will be finacially stable in
2014.. *winks*

sholay2011: Ode.

@OP...I feel you. Though, nollywood is lagging behind compared to world standard, but hands are on deck for improvement in all sections of filmmaking. Ppl are not resting on their laurels; new filmmakers are coming in and collaborating wiv ppl from various countries....etc.

Only stewpeed ppl (dem plenty for NL) who don't bother to know these quickly diss everything done in nollywood as crap since all they watch is Alaba movies.

I wonder if they've seen movies like 'Confusion Na Wa', 'Aramotu', 'Phone Swap', 'Anchor Baby' and so on. Nollywood would keep growing and cynics should keep destructively criticising. Ignorance is really a disease.

On point, bro

tomtyte02: lmao Xb4real u actually feel like commitin suicide....lolzzz...i saw ur confession

Murder, bro. I felt like killing de mother*cker

STRICTLY FOR THE GUYS ONLY.
Trust me guys, this will really go a long way to enlarge your financial growth.

YES. And dat was last night. There was this post I made in Entertainment Session. Coming back I met this dude's comment. Mehn, U felt like committing murder. Gosh. Anyway. NO FURTHER COMMENT FOR NOW.

Mr Funny: it popped so I had to bump. imagine if ur comment was submitted to Nollywood. they fit name am "THE RETURN OF Xb4real". guy get job do.

Guess u're one of dem.

Maximum Respect to u all. This just popped into my mind and I decided to bump in here and know this. Since I have been visiting this site, when ever Nollywood Movies are mentioned, de next one hears is JUNK. But this got me worried because Nollywood still remains no 3 if not 2nd in the world. Now these are the questions I have:

:What really makes Current Nollywood Movies Junk/crap?
:Are we not just criticizing because we hear some HATERS do??
:Can anyone name some of the CRAPPY/JUNKY Nollywood movies he/she has watched and what really makes them that??
:And what do u really think that is lacking in Nollywood that other Film Industries have. Creativity? Quality or what? and also name the Industry that has it 100%.

I just hv to say this before your comments/critics. It pisses me off when some people join critics just because they see others do. The funny thing is everyone here claims they don't watch Nollywood movies any more, but name any movie now, they will tell you the story line and conclude by calling it crap. I have been to lots of African countries and Nollywood still remains outstanding. WHY DON'T WE LEARN TO VALUE/APPRECIATE WHAT WE HAVE?? Believe it or not, NOLLYWOOD STILL HAS OUTSTANDING, EXCEPTIONAL WRITERS, PRODUCERS, DIRECTORS AND ARTISTS. We still top in our game. Nigerians/Africans, lets begin to appreciate what we have and stop celebrating Inferiority complex. Why do we like painting NEGATIVE PICTURES of ourselves to the world. The Western World knows what we have that's why our movies still have high demands in the market. Take it or leave it.

My questions are still there. Feel free and state out your reasons and examples.
THANKS.

They no complete na. What about:
Obiageri- Person wey come go chop.
Ukamaka- Church too fine.
Nkemjika- The one wey I hold plenty pass.
Anyaneleuwa- The eye wey de watch de world.
Obianujuaku- Person wey dey come wen wealth too much
Nkeiruka- The one wey dey front big pass


And soon many more. But if I translate some Yoruba n Hausa Names, u go jump fence. Example;
Omuwumi - Person wey come from Marine World.
Ahmadu- Person wey too dey chop tuwo
Obasanjo- Confirm wo-wo pikin
Banbagida- Trouble Instigator


Abi make I continue??

[quote author=Miss prettie]I pray FG wins oo[/quo

Are u serious?

GOOOAAAAALLLL!!!! Finally, FG have sc0red and
it's FG 1-0 ASUU.... It was a lovely pass from
Namadi Sambo to GEJ wh0 wasted no time
bursting the net and leaving the ASUU keeper Dr.
Faggie with no chance to stop the shot! It was a
nice build up from David Mark, to Sambo and unto the feets of
GEJ who did pretty well... Oh ma
worth, # JonChampion and # JimBeklyn, u've to admit that
the way this game is going, ASUU will
probably get the defeat in this tournament!
Wonderful play though. But the question is can FG
maintain the victory in Asso Rock, because ASUU
has great qualities of players and has played
unbeaten this season, with the record kept, ASUU
has beaten FG several times in Asso Rock stadium,
they even draw Fc Gabriel Suswam and Fc Anyim Pius Anyim
in 'Strike stadium' this season, luckily,
this maybe FG turn because they have remain
trophiless for 4yrs now since 2009, but let's wait
until the final whistle is blown

Oooohhh damn, did u just say Aishwarya Dahiwal? My outstanding fb lover from India No wonder I've not heard from her for days now. Thunder will fire her parents. Make I catch dem first. Hey, does it mean I'm going to miss dis beautiful girl?? * Pondering & sad*
