inosend:
Fellow nlanders, in all honesty I do not know what the disadvantages and or advantages of female genital mutilation (circumcision) are. Can someone throw some light? Thanks in anticipation of your non insolent responses.

There is a need for us to study, understand and
control the narrative of our culture and stop letting
outsiders define our culture for us.
There are many types of female circumcision and
some forms are as benign as male circumcision.
Also female circumcision, as practised in most parts
of southern Nigeria, is hardly different from
labioplasty and clitoral hood reduction (performed
by plastic surgeons in the western world), but they do not draw similar condemnation (same can be said of bre'ast augmentation).
We should not continue letting the west patronise
us and treat us like children or savages that need to
be saved from ourselves.

I was even hearing the horns before I woke up.

I no be hater o! I gbadun D'banj, but I sabi say Jimmy Jatt can push more units of Beats headsets than D'banj will.

Does anyone outside Lagos know Jimmy Jatt?
D'banj doesn't have to make music everyday, what is important is that he's a brand that sells. And obviously, those paying him think so - EOD.

Kachisbarbie: -On average, people swallow 1.5 liters of urine when swimming in a public pool.

In one swim?! Seriously!!
Even if you assume that as much as a quarter of the pool water consists of urine a swimmer would have to drink 6 litres of it to take in that much urine. That's the equivalent of 12 PET (plastic) bottles of soft drink.
No one can be that thirsty

When translating idioms you have to focus on the metaphorical meaning rather than the literal meaning.
For instance, the example you quoted probably translates to 'this orange is as hard as a palm nut'.

Did they start counting from Year 2000?!

deesmom: Oh plss, you should actually check your balance on the ATM rather than disturbinh the customer service officer and yes the added value of having a debit card is for minor expenses like 100 naira recharge PIN or 50 naira worth if you wish.
Nigerians and impatience, may God help us and teach us because I have realised that most of us have a big problem with waiting.

Right on Bro!
Personally, I think the most annoying people are those who complain an ATM customer is using too much time. They want to let you know that you should withdraw ₦40,000 per transaction (meanwhile some ATMs have a limit of ₦20,000). They might even suggest you make only one withdrawal then rejoin the queue.
They get damn noisy if you're making a transfer via ATM since they don't know it can be done and that it takes more steps (a longer time).

redcliff: Some people dont even know the meaning of irreconcilable differences. Because folks uses the word when it comes to splitting relationships.

But if the differences were not irreconcilable they wouldn't be getting divorced, would they?

Though I see your write-up as apt, I think It's a bit too much to compare these incidents to the BH insurgency.
Your point would still have been served if you had mentioned instead the boss who demands sex from employees, the marketers who win business via sexu@l favours, the official who demands a bribe to do his job, the runs girl, the yahoo boy, the randy lecturer, prostitutes, fraudsters etc.

I hope you do not have some ulterior motive...

sweetgala: And the manufacturer would also do all it can to lobby pentagon to get clearance to sell such an item.
That's $30 million a piece aircraft, not even the USA can turn their nose up to such money.

If we can not get the Chinook why not get more Mi35 which can double as transport into hot LV

The US has very stringent conditions upon which such arms sales are based and even when they do sell, they rarely sell the latest version or with the their full complement of features.

The CH-47 and the Mi35 are not in the same class. The CH-47 can carry between 33 and 55 troops while the Mi35 takes up to 8.

amanikondo: If by any chance your brain is working, you will know that Israeli do not have Chinook helicopters. They have their own type of Helicopters nigeria can buy.

Your stupid government is telling you lies you can see and you failed to recognize.

Both the CH-47 Chinook transport helicopter and the Sikorsky CH-53 Sea Stallion (which Israel uses) are US aircraft (helicopters) and will need their (US) clearance before they can be resold.
And as a few individuals 'whose brains are working' have pointed out, there is nothing in the US Embassy statement that suggests they are denying blocking such a deal.

In reality the fact that they took time to release such an ambiguous statement indicates that there is some truth in the allegation.

A senior member of the European Parliament has accused APC of channelling the parliament’s financial aid to Boko Haram in the North-east of Nigeria.
Obermayr also called on EC to investigate alleged concerns over the party’s financial and political allegiance with the terror group.
Obermayr of Austrian Freedom Party, currently the most popular political party in Austria, made the statements in a press release issued last week and covered widely by the European press.
Obermayr has been working closely with Stand for Peace, a Muslim-Jewish interfaith organisation dedicated to countering extremism and promoting social and religious cohesion.
He has also called on EU election observers to closely scrutinise the links between the APC and Boko Haram in the run up to the 2015 presidential election.
He said: “In Nigeria’s case, a large proportion of the subsidies from Brussels are used in the north of the country. The federal states of Borno, Yobe and Adamawa in the extreme North-east of the country are precisely the areas in which Boko Haram’s campaign of terror is largely tolerated by the authorities. The aforementioned sub-republics are governed by the All Progressive Congress (APC).”
In the statement, Obermayr said all further European Parliament cooperation and funding to Nigeria should be subjected to the findings of a report into the close relationship between political parties and terrorist groups in the country, suggesting that all development aid should be immediately suspended if any wrongdoing is exposed.
Turning to individuals in APC, Obermayr raised the United States (US) Embassy memo, which alleged that former vice-president and 2015 presidential hopeful, Atiku Abubukar, received money from Al-Qaeda to “destabilise the south of the country” and the recent defection of Femi Fani-Kayode from the APC because of their “clear Islamist agenda and sympathies with Boko Haram”.
Further in the statement that highlighted widespread concern ahead of the 2015 presidential elections, he said: “Even the most senior man in the APC, former Nigerian head of state and presidential candidate, Mohammadu Buhari, was quoted in the British newspaper The Guardian back in 2001 calling for sharia law to be introduced throughout Nigeria, including the Christian-dominated south.”
The announcement from Obermayr and Stand for Peace follows a similar call from Andrew Rosindell MP of the UK parliament, for an inquiry into the relationship between members of the APC and Boko Haram.
Stand for Peace has long investigated Boko Haram and their international financial and political connections, previously exposing links between the extremist sect and the controversial UK-based charity the “Al-Muntada Trust”.

Aren't you planning to make money? How are you going to count it?
Or do plan to be like one of those celebrities whose PAs, managers, agents etc ran underground?

Overdose of hypocrisy?

parrotibaba: some of dis "mistakes" r hard to notice even if u watch d movies 3 times or more

I've watched Matrix in excess of 15 times (It's one of my favourites) and I have not noticed those issues. I now have a reason to watch it again... ☺

Psamuelle: Also in Xmen, the last stand, when Professor charles xavier n Magneto went to recruit Jean, the professor could walk bt accordin to the end of xmen 1st class,which suppossedly happened b4 the last stand, he was paralysed... I don't hv the pix though bt if u've seen it, u'd know...

When you compare between individual movies there are a lot of those in the X-men series, like Wolverine's claws that were cut off in "Wolverine", but appear in "X-men: Days of Future Past", Professor X died in "X-men: Last Stand" but he's alive in "X-men: Days of Future Past", Boliver Trask is a black man in "X-men: Last Stand" while in "X-men: Days of Future Past" he's white, there's also some confusion about Mystique's history in "X-men: Days of Future Past" and in X-men 1 - 3.

purplesummer: Then the lady on the low waist jean flashing her butt at any body who is plagued with the misfortune of sitting behind her

And those on lowcut ('low waist') jeans pulling it up (or their tops down) constantly as if they didn't know before putting it on that It's designed to show off the as's .

uchman: is it an UPHILL task and does it take much time?

All I know is you're supposed to write an application for a change of name (other than by marriage) to the ACG stating your reasons for the request. If he approves It's forwarded for printing.
I believe the speed is dependent on how much you're willing to pay ☺ (and maybe what your brother is trying to hide). You can hasten things up by heading directly to the ACG's office.
I don't know anyone I can recommended, all I have is 3rd hand information.

uchman: My kid bros seriously wants to change his.
Any info will be appreciated

You already have the general idea. When you get to the HQ right from the gate you'll see officers who'll offer their services (for a fee, as usual).

Do you have a particular inquiry or you're just curious?

I know It's hard to trust official agencies in Nigeria.
But anyone who was in Ihejirika's position should constantly be monitored by the DSS (both during and after he leaves office). So if they absolve him then they must have good grounds to do so.
Their comments cannot be brushed off under any circumstance except you want to accuse the whole Nigerian Government of supporting Boko Haram.

United States’ Assistant Secretary of State for
African Affairs, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, has
appealed to the Nigerian Government to assist
other West African countries grappling with
the containment of the dreaded Ebola Virus
Disease in their country.
According to her, the Nigerian Government has
better effective strategies for the containment and
management of the virus than other West African
countries like Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.
She made her plea after meeting with Nigeria’s
Minister of Health, Professor Onyebuchi Chukwu, in
Abuja on Thursday.
Thomas-Greenfield was on an official visit to Nigeria
to attend a security meeting, as well as discuss
issues on health and the 2015 general elections in
Nigeria.

But I guess like has been mentioned earlier it has to do with the student's educational level. And also whether you are dealing with physical or abstract concepts.
Man has the unique ability amongst living things to imagine things into being.
