passion007: This would be my first post in this section.
I would like to celebrate my Mum, Mrs Ifeoma Maduka Ezeh (nee Nwafor) as she clocks 53!

Born on Oct 1, 1960 to Pa Nwagbara Nwafor (God bless his memory) and Mrs Monica Nwafor(both from Ozalla, Nkanu LGA of Enugu State) my mum was the quintessential only daughter: to this day , her mother still fondly calls her 'baby'. During the post independence days, she was called Freedom by her peers.

My mother accompanied her parents in their trade itinerary, consequently spending the better part of her early life in Onitcha, Anambra State until she returned to Enugu to attend Sedes Sapientae College in Iwollo.

In 1978, she married my father at Holy Ghost Cathedral, Enugu.

My mother's worst experience was losing both her younger brothers: Ifeanyi and Patrick (God bless their memory). I was little at the time, but I wished there was something I could do to make her sorrow go away.

My mother is jovial, gentle, enterprising, and extremely philanthropic.

I want her to know that my siblings and I love her very dearly, even though we are all grown now and have (or about to have) our own families.

I love you, Mum!

Happy Birthday, Mum!

Happy Independence Day, Nigeria!


Edit: Mods, pls consider for FrontPage.
I'm several hundred kilometres from home, and so I'm hoping seeing Nigeria's foremost online forum celebrating her birthday would suffice for a birthday gift for my Mum. Thanks.

Owobo brown: pls remove 50cent frm dat list

lol

are u guys scared to comment?

TOP10 MOST OVERRATED: 10. Wiz Khalifa Wiz has
been a rapper that I have followed in the past few
years. I love a lot of his songs but a lot of his
material is the same. Other than weed, women, and
living the good life, Wiz Khalifa doesnt have much
more to say. Theres no substance in his words, but
not everyone needs or wants substance. His
delivery and the ability to throw a party by rapping
is what makes him popular, not his ability as a
rapper. 9. Bone Thugs N Harmony If you dont listen
to a lot of rap, you wouldnt even know enough
about this rap group to dispute this ranking. I do
like them a lot, but I thought I needed to have at
least one overrated rap group. Their flow is actually
one of my favorites but most rap groups have great
flow. Thats the point of forming a group. There are
some songs they have that have some great lyrics,
but in most of their songs, their verses are
incoherent. That being said, their lyrics dont mean
anything to me. This group goes way back and
theyve got too much credit for how mediocre their
entire career was. Anything after The Art of War
was garbage, but people still love them because
they werent full on rap. Their more recent albums
have been criticized for being extremely violent.
Strength & Loyalty, released in 2007,was tight but
thats only because it had Mariah Carey, Twista,
will.i.am, and many others. When you put BTNHs
R&B rap flow together with someone like Mariah
Carey, youre bound to get something great. 8.
Drake Why couldnt he stick to playing Jimmy
Brooks on Degrassi? Take Care was just leaked and
thats really the only reason hes on this list in the
first place. The album isnt bad, but why are people
so obsessed with him? I thought he was a teenage
girl fad, but I had four personal friends tell me that
hes their favorite rapper. Whats up with that? His
flow and delivery is odd at times and I get the
feeling that hes trying too hard. Most of his lyrics
are about how no one believed in him and now hes
on top. That type of material only gets you so far in
the rap game and sooner or later hes going to need
to pick up a drug addiction so he can give every
one some fresh material. If it wasnt for Lil Wayne,
Drake would still be trying to differentiate himself
from Jimmy Brooks. Drake gets big names to get
big results and thats why everyone loves him so
much. 7. Method Man Dont get me wrong, Im all
about Wu-Tang, but the fact of the matter is that
Method Man hasnt done anything since Wu-Tang.
This one doesnt even need to be broken down. He
just doesnt have the musical talent that some
people think he does. None of his material is
different and he still delivers his lines with the
same scratchy voice as he did in 1993. 6. Puff
Daddy/ P. Diddy/ Sean Combs As the business man
of the list, I had to make sure I drew the line
between great rapper and great producer/
promoter. Look, Puff changed the rap game and
helped many influential rappers make it big who
otherwise would have never had a chance, but
thats the only reason he was popular himself. Think
of any song that you like that has Combs in it and
tell me if any other artists are featured in it. He
used HIS artists to help his own rap career. Type in
P. Diddy on Youtube and look at what the first five
options are. All five are songs that feature some
other artist. When you listen to Diddys lyrics, you
get the feeling that he definitely didnt write them
himself, and his material is so cliche that it angers
me to know people put him on Biggies level. Diddy
has some great lines and uncanny ability to
produce great songs but hed be nothing without
those surrounding him. His only real musical
creation worth noting is Ill Be Missing You, but of
course thats also because Faith Evans kills it on the
chorus. 5. Gucci Mane He isnt looked at as one of
the greater rappers of all time, but too many
people like him for him not be on this list. Lets look
at one of his more well-known songs, Lemonade.
The first verse is, My Phantom sittin on sixes, no
20s in my gun Your Cutlass motor knockin, because
it is a lemon My rifle Georgia peaches, but you look
more like a lemon These sour apple bitter bitches,
Im not fuckin wit em Im truly stupid paid thats just
how I feel today At no point in that verse does he
rhyme one word. Obviously all rap fans dont need a
lyrical poet to meet their needs, but come on Gucci,
rhyming gun with lemon is just too far. 4. Snoop
Doggy Dogg Snoop is definitely an icon of rap. Hell,
hes been in the rap game for 20 years now. My
problem with Snoop is the fact that hes been
rapping songs for all twenty of those years. Other
than a few singles here and there, the only good
songs youll hear by Snoop are on Doggystyle or
when hes featuring on The Chronic. Unfortunately,
Doggystyle was his first album so since then, one
could say that he hasnt recorded one good album.
Look, Snoop Dogg is one of my favorite rappers but
thats because of his personality. He started the for
shizzle language for gods sake. Not to mention his
never-ending crusade to get marijuana legalized is
just oh so admirable. But when it comes down to
how good this rapper has been throughout his
career, Snoop just doesnt make the cut as one of
the best rappers ever as he is presumed to be. 3. Lil
Wayne What is there to say about Mr. Carter?
Theres just too much to say. I love the fact that he
is always trying to experiment with new sounds
and that most of his music is free. Love it. But that
doesnt make him a good rapper. He possesses
many of the attributes above but it seems he isnt
able to combine all of them to make one great
album. And I always get that feeling that hes trying
to change the game too much. Whether its his rock
anthems or his hood ass shit with Hot Boyz, he
tries too hard to get you to change your lifestyle to
his. I always feel that sense of unsatisfaction after
each Carter is released and that has much to do
with the fact that he is a man of many singles. Ive
been known to bump some Wayne every now and
then but when you deem yourself, best rapper
alive, you better get ready for some lash-back. 2.
50 Cent For me, 50 Cent represents all that is
terrible in the new age of rap music. He was the
pioneer of writing catchy hooks and shitty verses.
He was no desire to rap about anything unless its
about having sex or robbing people. Other rappers
have some sort of basis to rap about. Eminem has
his 8 Mile roots and tears himself apart every time
he spits a verse. Kid Cudi has his inner demons and
drug addiction that make his lyrics powerful to the
listener. The only powerful thing thing that comes
out of 50 Cent is his bellowing, G-Uniiiiiiiiit. The
only song that I ever put on repeat by 50 was
Candy Shop (the least creative rap song of all
time), but hey, it was catchy. Ill give 50 Cent kudos
in one category, hooks. Ill take you to the candy
shop, Ill let you lick the lollipop, go head girl, dont
you stop, keep going til you the spot (whoa), is
pure genius for a hook but the rest of the song is
horrendous. Ill break it down for you now, baby its
simple, if you be a nympho, Ill be a nympho, in the
hotel or in the back of the rental, are just some of
50 Cents lyrics in Candy Shop. Hes the type of
rapper whom I can finish every one of his lyrics
because he uses no puns or any play on words for
that matter. The only thing worse than 50 Cents
rapping ability is his acting in Get Rich or Die Tryin.
Tupac For all those people about to come to my
house because you got thug love for Pac, hear me
out. Let me just start out by saying this, All Eyez on
Me is still one of my favorite albums of all time and
2Pacalypse Now isnt too shabby either. The
problem I have with Tupac is that by many peoples
standards, he is the best rapper of all time. I would
put him in my top ten favorite rappers of all-time
easily but hes not the best and that is why he is on
this list. Tupac Shakur is the most overrated rapper
of all-time. Seeing it is Tupac, Ill give him the
decency to break it down for you. Flow/Delivery- All
Eyez on Me is by far Tupacs best album because he
lays his rhymes down so effortlessly and all the
words seem to fit perfectly. Bottom line, he was
amazing on that album. But lets not forget, that
same year OutKast released ATLiens and that
album is a masterpiece as far as flow and delivery
go. Now here is where most people make their
argument on how Tupac is the best rapper of all-
time; lyrics and storytelling. Dont get me wrong,
Pac is one of the most influential lyricists that rap
has ever seen but hes just not the best overall.
When Pac released Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z in 93,
people started to realize that he wasnt some
ordinary thug from Oakland. The thing most people
dont realize is that in 93, Enter the Wu Tang was
released by the Wu-Tang Clan which I highly regard
as the best lyrical album of all-time and rap group
by the name of A Tribe Called Quest, released
Midnight Marauders, which I believe is the best
story-telling album of all time. Im not saying that
you have to agree with me but I only ask that you
think about other rappers of that time. If Tupac
hadnt been killed, he wouldnt be the legend he is
today. Because of that legendary status, in my
book, he is the most overrated rapper of all-time.

Taylor184: smh.....I'm usin a BB curve 4 and d ba3 is strong....as long as I don't log in on 2go on it....Tank God for my Nokia sha

pls be sincere. On a masive use like playing of music with browser, how lond does urs last? Cuz mine is just an hour.

greatgod2012: The question that always come to my mind each time maid matters are raised is " Are these set of people not human beings? Are they created by a God different from the one who created us? Are they not born the way we are born? Are they not conceived the way we are conceived?
Why now is all these differences in their treatment?
As far as I'm concerned, I don't even like using the name maid, they have their names ke, abi? Some people even go to the extent of not addressing them by their names, that is very bad.


Anyone that has a maid or more should be able to treat them the way they would want their children treated.
Anyone who doesn't treat their maids with respect is inviting the wrath of God their creator on themselves.
And above all, whatever we sow is what we are going to reap, but the unfortunate part is that our kids also reap part of these things. So we need to be careful.
May God help us all.

talk is cheap

Nivlin: Cos they've been possessed by the Spirit of Covetousness (they are mostly driven by "unhealthy competition" e.g that babe keeps flaunting her BB Q10, I must get BB V50 ) Unfortunately, they can't be satisfied even if they have "all the riches" in this world!

taking note of this.

steph7: Its simple greed, if you have good morals no amount of peer pressure, lack of funds will make you want to do runs. I know some rich girls that did it cos they wanted more money, poor girls that did it because they they couldn't afford their basic needs. Nothing should ever make a girl resort to runs.
