True? Because I'm about going on a cake eating spree.

Head back to my room and find my Vaseline jar

He is just like seun of nairaland; very humble. The only diff is that seun is an atheist

back doesn't believe in religion too... Isn't that atheism?

Good evening folks, I'm not one to come online to spite an organisation but I think what I'm about to say would be useful for internet marketers, importers etc.

I recently started using a UBA account (early this year) I've always been a GTBank favourite, but then I learnt that UBA and a few other banks don't require a dorm account to receive wire transfers. As a blogger, I thought it was awesome, so I opened an account with UBA.

Fast-forward to around last week/ last two weeks, the USD - Naira rates became something of a problem as there were discrepancies in currency exchange rates. I made a transaction with my UBA MasterCard and was charged a whooping 242naira to a USD. As a blogger, I thought it was... well, good? since I was going to be paid in a few days time with expectancy of rate of about 220+ naira to 1USD. Sadly, wire transfer came in and I was paid an exchange rate of 196Naira to a USD.

I wasn't so pleased, but I was a bit curious if the exchange rate has dropped, so I made a purchase online immediately (renewed one of my domains), waited for the alert, it never came. Last night, the alert I was waiting for entered, and shockingly, UBA charged me a whooping 269.69naira for 1USD (I spent 6USD @ 1617.54 naira debited!)

Angry, I complained to them on Facebook and was told " Please be informed that the discrepancy in the rate is as a result of the instability of the exchange rate."


Summary of my epistle is UBA are ripping off Nigerians with this dollar-naira problem. Be wise, boycott using your UBA card for purchases online for now.

Regards,

Uche Charles...

So it’s the period of sporadic evolution of tech, and Selfies are among the top things in vogue now. We’ve seen the advent of selfie sticks to aid that perfect selfies, we’ve seen folks posing with selfie hands, guns and all sorts to make that perfect selfie, however, what we haven’t seen until just recently is someone posing with a wild, poisonous snake.
rattle snake
San Diego’s Todd Fassler wasn’t so keen on taking that perfect selfie with a cat or a dog, so he settled for his ‘pet’ – a rattlesnake he found in the bushes over a year ago, and apparently decided to keep it as a pet.

The said pet wasn’t feeling the selfie union and opted to give Mr Fassler a dose of it’s super poisonous venom. Thankfully, Mr Fassler was rushed to an area hospital where doctors had to use all of the anti-venom stored at two hospitals in order for Fassler to recover.

Fassler recently released the snake into the wild. And while he might not have been able to take a selfie that would have helped him remember his pet forever, at least[b] he does have something that will always bring back the memory of his snake. That is the $153,161.25 hospital bill he incurred for a five-day stay[/b].

Today marks the start of the 47th Special Olympics World cup games, and Google is specially thrilled and honors the event with a Doodle.

google-doodle-celebrates-special-olympics-world-games-2015-275392.html
The special Olympics world cup games is scheduled to hold between 25th of July and run through till 2nd of August 2015 at Los Angeles in the U.S of A.

The event will witness 7,000 world-class athletes from 177 countries compete in 25 events in a celebration of athleticism, teamwork and inclusion. It is also a reminder of the universality of sport, an opportunity for athletes with disability to compete in one of humankind’s greatest traditions, Google writes.

“Doodle team lead Ryan Germick illustrated and animated today’s doodle inspired by the circle of inclusion, which represents the acceptance of all people with intellectual disabilities. It celebrates the athletes in these games, as well as those who support them — the friends and mentors who helped carry the Olympic torch from its origin in Athens, Greece to its temporary home in Los Angeles, California,” Google further explains.

This will also mark the biggest sports event to take place in Los Angeles since 1984.

Around 5,00,000 spectators are expected to come to cheer the athletes at the sporting event that will be held at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.


Nigeria is among the countries participating in the event and participants have since departed for California.

Personally, I don't like the idea of a lady or anybody sef wearing chains on their waists or legs. It irritates me... Can't date such. But that's my own opinion, it doesn't mean anybody who likes the idea shouldn't wear it.

Prodeegee:

Oh. Thanks

I don't know much names of dogs. What breed is the tall black dog? Looks very skinny

WOW! WOW! WOW! Speechless like Michael Jackson. Op, well-done!

I'm not your average Igbo dude sire... I really don't like dissing folks, but someone come running into my mention spewing thrash, I have to say something too...

melzabull:
Again you are a daft fooool. Your late mother must be kicking herself in the grave for birthing a despicable and worthless iddiott for a child. Your useless father should have masturbated instead of depositing his smelly semen into your mothers stinking hole

I guess my message was well received then... Now go to hell ass-wipe!

melzabull:
You are a daft cvnt, when you get home call your useless father reta.rded. You are such a despicable, ignorant fooool.

Irredeemable iddiot

Hey dimwit as I said, I don't care about your physical, mental or psychological hiccups, but please, feel free to kill yourself. Pretty sure you are an orphan, so I won't bother with the imps that sent his rotten cumm into your whorefied mother's snatch.

melzabull:

clans:
I'm an igbo girl and I say NO to biafra!! All these people making noise about this biafra ish are just gullible, illiterates and ruffians. The average igbo man with shops in alaba market, trade fare and ladipo would never be a part of this shenanigan.
you guys had better get up your lazy behinds, find something worth doing instead of listening to a dumb radio station.
Long live the hausa tribe
Long live the Yoruba tribe
Long live the igbo tribe
Long live all other minor tribes
Long live the federal republic of NIGERIA
Peace!!!!!

finally! I was beginning to doubt my own rationality as an Igbo dude. Please, the earlier we all come to terms and kill his tribalistic hate against each other, the better. There would NEVER be a Biafra! We educated Igbos are happy with Nigeria and it's flaws.

E get antenna oh. Television snake...

Why nah?!

seriously, one of the funniest comments I've read in a while! Television snake?! my God!

Cutehector:
D more reason why I dislike coming to anambra state

Being cute isn't the problem... Problem is having sense, which I figure you don't have.

Who cares if you come to Anambra or not? There's an accident and all you can 'think up' is "that's the reason you don't like coming to Anambra"... Your retardedness is disheartening sire.

R.I.P to the deceased. May God grant the family to bear this painful loss.

I'm not the best person there is, so Nope.

I can date 5 girls all at once and lie to each of them that they are the best thing to happen to me since my birth... it's saddening.

I also have severe anger issues. Once angry, I can shatter anything I come in contact with, not forgetting I can really go berserk with words & fists... So NOPE!

But, I would love my daughter to get married to some1 who's as hardworking & intelligent as I am

Joshkid:
like??

I freelance, I blog... and I think loads.

Not used to sleeping early... I do most of my thinking and writing at past mid-night. That's when my brain responds as I want it to...

There are record makers and there are record breakers. As shocking as it would seem, these 5 smartphones entered the widely acclaimed Guiness World Records for being ‘ingenious’ and of-course the first to do / have what they did / had.

Before we stroll along, let’s take you back to what began the famous Guiness Book Of World records.
On 10 November 1951, Sir Hugh Beaver, then marketing director of the Guinness Breweries, went on a shooting party in the North Slob, by the River Slaney in County Wexford, Ireland. Find it on Google Maps, it’s an amazing place. Anyway, after missing a shot at a golden plover [pics], the gentleman found himself in an argument over which was the fastest game bird in Europe, the golden plover or the red grouse [pics]?

In the heat of the moment, Sir Beaver realised that it was impossible to confirm in reference books (what they used before, you know, Wikipedia) whether or not the golden plover was Europe’s fastest game bird. Falling short on substance behind his educated argument, Beaver knew that there must be numerous other questions debated nightly in pubs throughout Ireland and abroad, but there was no book in the world with which to settle said arguments about records. Perhaps the noble sir knew little of the club law. But nevertheless, he gained a valuable idea! He realised then that a book supplying the answers to this sort of question might prove successful, and this is the short briefing on how the Guinness World Records were born.

So, there you have it. Now smartphones have joined the list of break-makers and breakers and here’s the top 5 smartphones who’s made and/or broken a record on the world records book.

1. LG G4 broke the record for world's longest "selfie relay chain"


2. Gionee Elife S5.1 became the thinnest smartphone for a while.


3. Oppo R5 crushed the Gionee Elife S5.1’s thinness record


4. HTC One set the world record for largest animated mobile phone mosaic


5. LG Optimus 2X got the Guinness treatment for… being a dual-core
