I have been trying to download from o2tvseries. com but it's not even opening,even toxicwap.com,please is the problem from my phone?

I thought I was the only one. If you have UC browser, you can access o2tvseries on it. I think tvserieswap has been shut down.

Wonder what is the reason for the clamp down on those sites.

You don't have to go to church. If you're tired of church, then you are yearning for something more. The bible is there to guide you. Read it for yourself and gain more understanding.
A good Christian isn't necessarily one who attends church.

If you are comfortable with being owed months of salary, ten don't hesitate to apply.
The ones working there presently haven't been paid December salary.

State of the nation indeed. Well, it's the usual talk. I wonder why he didn't talk about the massacre going on in Southern Kaduna.
There's a pattern I am seeing here. It seems he is prepping to come into govt. Time will tell.

Well,have you tried talking to her to know why she is cheating and being brazen about it? I think you should.

Remember we all are WIP, Work in progress

  GBAM!!!!

Outstrip:

He will kill her if she stays. He is an animal. Not only does he not take responsibility but he even blames her family not even his own or maybe an unknown enemy. This man is an agent of the devil. Marry him at your own risk. I know she won't listen. That's usually the way it goes.

Please, tell your friend to wake up now or she will wake up on the other side one day if she decides to continue the relationship. A thousand words are enough for the wise, o!

aimans:

It's sad. We Nigerians are always being fools. We pray hard every second, hour, day and nyt, but we are the most weaked people on erath. Jos crisis, bank saga, Nation without a president for over 60days, yet we see nothing wrong. Our dear pastors & churches where 1st Lady of Banking & Akingbola were the Account Officers are yet to see nothing wrong in their past.

Stop parying 4 Nigeria, rather pray 4 change of your handwork from bad to good if not better.

We live in a enviroment too hostile, where life is short and brutish. Shame on all Nigerian leaders. D.D, rest in peace. May your killers not know rest.

FELLOW NIGERIANS, HAVE NO FEAR, MORE OF THIS SHALL COME. IN THE MEANTIME, HAPPY VIEWING.

mantote:

I THINK THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH SELF EMPLOYMENT BUT IS GOOD YOU WORK FOR SOMEONE FOR SOMETIME,GET SOME FUNDS THROUGH SAVINGS/INVESTMENT,MEET PEOPLE AND EARN THEIR RESPECT WHILE WORKING FOR SOME1,UNDERSTAND THE REAL WORLD OF BUSINESS,TRY YOUR HAND OUT ON SOMETHING WHILE WRKING FOR SOME1,THEN BASED ON YOUR TRIALS,YOU CAN FINALLY DECIDE IF YOU WANT TO BE SELF EMPOLYED OR NOT.
BUT BASICALLY,U NEED NOT JUST CAPITAL BUT EXPERIENCE ESPECIALLY IN HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT,INTERNAL CONTROL ,CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT ETC. AND MONEY CANT EARN U THIS BUT ONLY SOME WORKING EXPERIENCE BUT REMEMBER,INTEGRITY IS KEYYYYYYYYYY

Quite true!! You've hit the nail on the head.

Oluschenco:

To be self-employed requires money and one needs to work for the capital, which means he/she has to be employed somewhere.

I agree, if one wants to be realistic.

lasalle:

a total waist of time for now, we have better things to use that money for,

I can't agree more,

nethacker:

This won't stop those black-dressed IDIOTS called police frm harassing n arresting innocent citizens  

Very true!

You see, i don't even know what to think. i also got the text on Friday morning, i sent my reply in the afternoon, and up till now i've been checking my mailbox to see if they have sent any mail.I'm still waiting,

depends on how you see it.you are either pro-sex before marriage or anti.

@ mechris,
Well said. i wonder what is the cause of this PR job for the guy.

Nigerian English like no other

In Nigeria, people felicitate the successful, police open a can of worms on cutlass brandishing miscreants, and the criminals meet their Waterloo.
Touts, urchins and heaps of calumny: Nigerian English melds Victorian-era vocabulary inherited from log-gone British colonialists with the grammatical structures and syntax that underpin indigenous languages in Africa’s most populous nation.
The results can be ornate, oddly understated or remarkably apt. But in a rapidly globalizing world, some worry that Nigerians will be handicapped by an English that differs from the language of boardrooms and Internet bulletin boards.
For Adeyemi Daramola, an English professor at the University of Lagos, it’s a quandary; as an academic, he finds Nigerian usage fascinating and indicative of rich and varied influences. But he worries that it’s undermining local languages, leaving younger generations unable to speak their parents’ native tongue and conversant only in an argot not easily under stood outside Nigeria.
“As a teacher, we want to see these differences. We’re pleased with our geographical difference and our semantic differences,” he says.
“But we are at a crossroads now where some people don’t understand standard English, and also not their indigenous tongue,” he says. “And that’s a tragedy then because you don’t belong anywhere.”
As a colony, Nigeria was very lightly settled by Europeans. A few hundred administrators came, along with Christian missionaries who taught English so that the converts could read the Bible. When Nigeria became independent in 1960, it adopted English as the language of instruction and administration.
Within borders drawn in colonial times, Nigeria’s 140 millions of people speak hundreds of languages, and “English is the language of national unity” says Daramola. “In a multi-lingual situation, it serves the people.”
Others disagree, saying English is a colonial import whose widespread usage excludes the rural and less educated.
It has developed over the years with a Nigerian twist. For example, a TV isn’t switched on or off – it’s “on-ed” of “off-ed.”
A Nigerian congratulating someone on a success or victory will likely “felicitate” him rather than offer felicitations. Similarly, people are invited to “jubilate” or celebrate, a triumph.
Sentence structure often reflects local languages, says Daramola. In the Yoruba language, adjectives can be altered by repeating them. So in Nigerian English, a very small boy would be a “small, small boy.”
Also, Yoruba English speakers may “smell” soup, rather than taste it, because the words are similar in Yoruba.
Many words are simply holdovers from the colonial era. Eateries are called “Chop Houses” once popular but now all but vanished from Britain.
Upset stomach? Take “gripe water”. Puncture? Take the tire to the “vulcaniser.”
Street children are “urchins,” and police often brand criminals as “touts,” “rascals” or “miscreants” who carry “cutlasses”- machetes.
In reporting crime, Nigerian newspapers say police open a can of worms when raiding criminal hideouts. A dead or jailed robber is often said to meet his Waterloo. Politicians “heap calumny” on those they accuse of corruption.
In another influence of Nigerian languages, no letter is missed when speaking English. Fuel is FOO-el. Wednesday is pronounced as written – Wed-nes-day – and a leopard rhymes with a leotard.
In many areas of southern Nigeria where the Yoruba predominate, an “o” is added to the end of a word to add emphasis, a practice in Yoruba language. Most noticeable is a shout of “Sorry o!” to someone who trips or suffers another misfortune.
While Internet and satellite TV access exposes ever greater number of Africans to standard English, Nigerians are fusing the lingo of the World Wide Web with their own patois.
Who’s behind those infamous e-mails promising lucrative payoffs for hiding an African potentate’s ill-gotten gains? In Nigeria, the media is filled with exploits of the “Yahoo- Yahoo boys,” from the e-mail and search-engine company used by many of the scammers.
“I entered the Yahoo business just to survive after I was robbed of all my money,” one man explained. “There is money in Yahoo, but one is not always lucky. Sometimes in two months you make $200 – but we pray for a big catch.”

Hmm! Interesting, don’t you think? What is your own opinion?

This is a rather sensitive issue for christians. What i have discovered is that you don't need laying of hands before you fall under the anointing. The only time i fell under the anointing was in Secondary school, while we were holding a fellowship. We held hands and were praying the a gentle breeze started to blow, and before you knew it, i felt myself lifted from the floor, gently though. I tried to force myself to remain standing, but the next thing i knew was i was lifted then i fell. This happened in 1994,95.So, i believe it's real but it has been abused and exploited by christians today.

And @ 2gd, praying in tongues doesn't make you any better. When you pray, pray with understanding and direction from the Holy Spirit, it's only by doing this that makes you grow.

Do Old Flames really die?
I got a call yesterday from an ex-girlfriend. We gisted and were happy to hear from each other again. Then I asked myself, have we really moved on? I remember once I almost went to bed with another ex, when we met again after like two years of separation. Fine, I am on good terms with all my “ex”. My fear is this, what happens years from now? These days, I hear of marriages that crumbled due to the fact that the old flames have refused to die. When we were talking yesterday, I felt like it was old times and I’m sure she felt the same way too but man, I’m trying to offload the emotional luggages I’ve been carrying, but is it because we had good times, that’s why it’s kind of hard to forget? I’m not asking for advice from anybody, I just want to know if any one among you, fellow Nairalanders feel the same way.
N.B: Again, no sermonizing, just share your story.

I have followed with interest the wave of emotions over the Bakassi issue. I giggle anytime i read or hear comments about the matter. In fact, last week Tuesday and Wednesday, all the discussion programmes on radio were so irritating. My grouse with people is this;you blame Obasanjo for ceding the place to Cameroon, for heaven's sake, the only reasonable thing the man could do was to sign the agreement. Again, i ask, the judgement was delivered by the I.C.J well over two years ago, why did we(yes, all those shouting now) not react then? We kept quiet, they signed the Greentree agreement, nobody reacted. So, why the noise now? My concern is that Nigeria has failed the Bakassi people by not preparing to absorb them into a community here in Nigeria. I read a report that a village in China, with the population of over 1 million(yes,ONE MILLION) people were relocated to another place because there was imminent earthquake. Now, Bakassi people are about 300,000. Why did we not provide alternative settlement for them, instead we are busy making noise on media. It's not right!

Hi people, i'm serving in Ogun State, about to take my leave though.It's been fun all the way, i've learnt a lot more about people and life itself. I guess i'm favoured to have been posted to Odogbolu in Ogun.

How ironic[i][/i]

I'm laughing at you guys now.Well, i'm using UBA's MTN Xchange card and i've not regretted using it.However, i agree that GT Bank is the best.

hmm,
this year has been a heck of a year. I missed Batch A Nysc, though i'm now serving in Batch B.
I got a job, resigned when i wanted to serve. I'm trying to make up with my ex, hopefully in the coming year.My mum had an accident in July and thank GOD, she's still alive. It's been a very interesting year for me. I thank GOD for life.

What you need to ask yourself is:

Do YOU have a past?
Have YOU told your girlfriends about YOUR past?
Do revelations of past relationships have any bearing on the here and now?
Do you feel you're oblighed to know about your girlfriend's past? And why?
Do revelations of past relationships only apply to ladies? If yes, why?

The answer to your question lies in your reply to the above.

As far as I'm concerned, the past should remain firmly in the past, I don't honestly see why I should expect my girlfriend to reveal her past to me, unless I'm prepared to do the same. From the sounds of things, you seem to have problems dealing with the fact you weren't the first man in your girlfriends life, unless you're on the hunt for a virgin?

Are you a virgin yourself?

You've said it all. Good logic.

him webjunior, i sympathise with your family over the bereavement. God will grant you the fortitude to bear the loss in Jesus name. Nigerian hospitals are terrible. I had an experience with them in July when my mum was hit by an okadad driver. Before she was attended to at UCH, ibadan, we waited from 10 am in the morning till around 9.30 pm before she was attened to,despite the fact that she had a fracture and was bleeding. Thank God she was taken to a private hospital for first aid before going to Uch, if not i might be saying something differnt today.
