While at it, he should make sure to train extensively our security people, and I think this is the period to really invest on security devices, etc. No be only to collect egunje and to beat innocent civilians our security men go sabi.

And how is it a state of emergency when the governors would still be in control? I don't get

While this is commendable if true, It's not by producing 10million Litters of petrol. We need to feel the effects of such additional income in our economy. The only effects will likely be in you and you co-horts' pockets. I pray to be proved wrong.

Demdem:

We are talking about life and death, u are talking of tenure. Na wa o.

I wonder oo

vicade: The Joys of Motherhood by Buchi Emecheta-So Powerful and Emotional I doubt if nollywood can pull it off.

I also like "The Road". Its a play by wole soyinka and a very funny one at that. I also doubt if this can be adapted for screen by nollywood.

Twinge Twangle by Femi Osofisan

Joys of Motherhood by Emecheta would always be a great book! Too bad it isn't that popular. Making a movie out of these books would really be cool, and I think it would have to involve a big budget, just so it doesn't look like the average movie that nollywood is mostly known to produce..

The Potter's Wheel and The Bottled Leopard are other books I'd loove to see as movies.

Finally, The Lion and The Jewel by Wole Soyinka.
The good thing about these books is that it tells the Nigerian culture as it was, during our fathers' times. These are the kinda movies we need to sell to the world, just like the book, "Things Fall Apart"

Double post

It's now a game . Goes to show how scared they all are.

Yield: Balance is key.

Exactly.

Wow! This is way very objective, coming from a woman. So loving this post.; and I love the part about men having paternity leave Wow! This is way very objective, coming from a woman. So loving this post.; and I love the part about men having paternity leave obviously the Feminism cause has been way VERY one-sided.

Why would they allow the same politicians that Achebe was against, to set a date for his burial? Achebe wouldn't want that. The family should know better!

Here we go again

Me and my friends have been maintaining this routine since we left school, and subsequently passed out from NYSC last year. Four of us, all best friends since year 1 in school days. We always made sure to have a get together whenever any of us is celebrating a birthday, and when there's an achievement...like when we all got jobs after service. Nowadays it's hard meeting, but we still make sure we do, especially on our birthdays, or during a change of job for better. The girl amongs us will be getting married soon, and we'll all be flying down to celebrate with her. Nothing beats growing up with your best friends and watching each other as you achieve things in life.

One show I wish I had attended. Omawumi's songs are just so different and better than the rubbish that most artists keep churning out. Respect to Onyeka Onwenu too.

I can't believe a President would still think like this today. Did we put you there to preach to us? Pastors and Imams are already doing enough of that. Smdh. If we needed a Pastor as a president, we would have voted in Okotie. I give up on the guy sha. The same evil forces that are making him to release all the high profile criminals and grant amnesty to boko boys. Delusion.

torhuke: My Mum Fell victim of this kind of scam somtim in 2003 in ikorodu. We were tenants in TOS benson estate (aka marwa estate) owutu, ikorodu. Our LandLord sold d house to aonther person who den gave my mum quit notice becos he desperately needed the house. According to him (the now 'new Landlord'), something or sombody was going to kill him if he does not move out fast from where he was to where we are (the appartment he jst bought). Since our rent had expired abt dt tym and we could nt renew it, my mum statd lookin for another apartment. My mum wx pregnant wt our last born xo we were desperate to move out b4 her due date of delivery. She paid for a new house (2 bedroom flat) arond benson bustop and she was even given d keys to d apartment. The day we went ther wt buckets and mop and brooms to wash the house (wt the sweet mind of moving-in the folowin day or next),the locks had been changed and the keys we were having couldn't open d doors both front nd back. It was like a film. Me, my mum, my yonger sis and bro were jst confused. My kid bro who was abt 5 years den was asking my mum why we were standing outside insteand of going in 2 waash d apartment. We went back home. My mum was jst confused but she styl had a feeln she got the wrong keys becos she and d agent came to d house and he opend d doors wt d keys and dat wx wen she assesd d palce b4 paying d rent for 2-years. The following day, she went to the agents office and there she met 3-men who had also been scamed wt the same apartment. The agent had collected rent frm about four tenants on d same apartment. My mum was the lastt person dat paid from them all. The soldier was d one who changed the keys wen he and 2 others were draging abt who the real tenant is. In all of these, the agents Phantom ofice wx locked and the agent wx no where to be found. To cut the long story short, that was haw my mum was duped of #175,000 back in 2003. That was wht made us relocate to ondo state till 2day.

Wow. This is just too sad. How heartless could someone be.

Is that a reliable source?

polokor60: my ex gf is from urhobo and she have it as well,i don't know how i would describe it.it's very tiny,the same tune with the skin colour,just on one tiny spot on the cheek/entire face.some times you won't presume it to be a tribal mark.if you come in contact with most people from urhobo who are more than 25 years of age,just take a close look at their cheek,you would see it but if you don't look closely you may not see it.it's pretty cool.Tribal mark in general is almost extinct and it's irrelevant in this present age.

Yea I have friends from there and the mark does look fine

Facially, no. In the body, maybe. Anyway, I don't even know what my ethnic tribal mark looks like.

And some people here would dare open their mouths to castigate him and ask what he has contributed to the country's development. Yup, he definitely contributed to many people's intellectual development, myself inclusive.

This is Molestation!

idnoble135: mods, front page pls

Front page pls?? LWKM!!

Anyway, @OP, I'd arrange for the past leaders to be hung

Let's see how true this will be. I do hope it goes as said. We've been ripped off enough.

Raise money? Or dip their hands into our treasury?? Which? Anyway, I do hope the surgery is possible.

So so sad. His book, Things Fall Apart, made me to actually develop interest in reading....back then in JSS 2. RIP Chinua. Anambra mourns, Nigeria sourns, the world mourns.

sammyzacks: All of you commenting here need pardon from God for all the terrible sins you keep committing everyday day. Pardon doesn't say you never committed the offence. It simply says you are forgiven. What is your problem with that? It's called mercy, you must not merit it.

In that case, every prisoner in the country should be pardoned. This will make it fair, since everyone can turn a new leaf, or don't you think so?

Hmm

I wanna be remembered as a guy who chose happiness as his theme in life, no matter what life threw at him. A guy that derives happiness by mere making other people smile. I love the person am, and I know people love me for that too, cos...I Choose To Be Happy.

Maybe they wanna open their own church with this story.

tomakint: Seun Osewa, may God in his infinite mercy and power continue to guide and keep you through the journeys of life, it is well with you, your family and business, this is just the beginning of good things to come (mark my words)! Congrats

Seun is an Atheist.

Congratulations Seun, you remain an inspiration to budding entrepreneurs.

As I read all these, I can't help but feel sad for my dear country. This would not be happening if our leaders had seen beyond their greed and used their stolen monies to develop Africa as a whole instead of enriching their pocket.

By now, these people would practically be begging to return back to Africa and live in our lands instead of thinking they could lord over our lands. And of course it wouldn't be us moving out in drones to America and its likes. I wouldn't blame them, they've only seen the potentials that our governments have failed to see.

Maybe, just maybe, this plan would wake up the thieves in all the African countries pretending that they are doing a good job.
