I have been trying to remember this movie for the longest time. Of course it doesnt help that all I remember about is the preview.

It is about a black family that came home for a particular holiday and all kinds of drama ensued. There were many black stars in the movie though I cant remember anyone of them. It was released either in 2005 or 2006. Thats all I remember.

Can anyone help me?

Hi guys, 11 days to go. Does anyone know if starcomms works in Warri?

30 days to go indeed. i'm sooooo excited.

so does anyone know the best gsm network to use in ELV as per service and all. I'm thinking of getting a contract line _{now that i am a shell big boy} and i want to know which one to get.

random question: can somone please share with us what the dress code is like during the week at ELV? is it business casual or university casual. i go like the second choice sha.

Hi all,

I discovered this thread a bit late into the recruitment process but I have read most of it and I must say it is informative, entertaining and amusing all at once. I am an SITP candidate and this thread would have provided me a much needed sense of calm when I was agonizing over the email for medicals. That's over now (thank God) so I have moved on to agonizing over the offer letter. I know it is almost sure but the almost part is still nerve racking. It will all end soon. For those who are still awaiting the invitation for medicals, keep your hopes up. It too will be done soon.

Please let me know if I am jumping the gun here but can somone share with us how to prepare for the first trip out to Warri. What to pack, what not to pack. Will the materials be provided at ELV or are we to bring our materials etc. I am a bit of an over-packer so I need to know before start folding my matress and curtains.

Lastly, I will be bringing my tennis racket with me. Will anyone else be doing the same??

She seemed to have this illogical aversion for me sleeping with other women in her bed. She kept crying and asking me why like I did something wrong. Apparently, she "loves" me and that entitles her to control over my sex life. Come on!!! this is the damn 21st century, inflation did not only affect currency, it also affected wild oats and lord knows i like sowing them.

So I had to let her go. Now I need a new place to do my sowing but at least I dont have to put up with explaining to the other ladies why some crazy chick was standing over our naked forms with a bottle of acid. man she was dramatic. dont know why i stayed with her so long. i guess i loved her, in my own way. i miss her cooking sha but man go live, one way or another.

@olowotee
so you needed a whole year to get to know you HOME TOWN?? come on, if knowing your home town was so important, your parents would have taken you before you graduated UNIVERSITY (i mean you had that gap year when you took JAMB a second time. That would have been a great oppurtunity)

Besides, how did you get posted to your state of origin??

NYSC is a waste of time. Most of the time you are engaged in mindless, tiresome activites like CD's that are actually hours spent sitting around doing nothing. The only good thing I can say about it is that it atleast provides a cushion period for university graduates during which they fully come to terms with the extent of the employment problem in nigeria and in a few fortunate cases, get jobs before the year is over. This is a negative positive because if there was no employment problem then it too would not be neccessary.

from all the grammer on this thread. one would think we were discussing world peace and the nuclear future of the universe. guys, it was west african idols. timi won, everyone else lost. END OF STORY!!!!!! _{let it go}

omawumi is a concieted, arrogant jackass who needs a reality check. WE MAKE YOU GREAT b****h. I'm glad Timi won

god is everywhere and he sees every one. his voice is distinct and it cannot be missed. however, in my vast experience, i know God has a british accent. he sounds like a cross of Samuel L. Jackson and Pierce Brosnan. Somtimes, especially in the summer he may get a bit goofy and take on a jamo accent but you can easily see through it. watch out for irish and american accents though, that could be the devil and if it is a naija accent then you know it the babalawo calling your head (yourba english) put your ipod to the highest level and dont answer.

hope that helps.

dude do u have a girlfriend? if so where did you meet?

if you don't then i'd suggest you followed ur advice on a good dating site instead of selfishly enriching the pond by changing multiple minds about online dating just so you could choose one.

personal opinion:
most of my dating has been online and i have no regrets.

@mp7007

u dont have to be insulting about the way you give ur comments. wat personal beef do you have with the concerned sibling? really, i was starting to think maybe u were the brother in question.

@topic

i dont know much about malaysia but from wat i am reading i would definatly advice u to look at malaysia critically. it may not be a bad idea after all.

@dasarge
the gsm number is not complete.

I think 300 was waaaayyyy better than Troy. The cinematography for one was more engaging and the story was simple and effective. No need to worry about remembering who is who that did what to who when and how. Very simple, 300 guys fighting a million and kicking major ass. Best Epic I have seen in a long while.

And for those that hated the end, think about it. How else could it have ended?? They making it would have sucked and made utterly unbeliveable.

try searching google stella phoenix. the software worked for me. you download the trial but i think i had to crack it. i am not sure now.

Well i think mypeace has had enough bashing dont ya.

@topic

I had a personal experience with a receptionist too. I am serving in Lagos so when we left camp, I was rejected from my initial place and was looking for a place to serve. So I went to Alcatel (and I hope someone here works there so they can address this particular issue). I go in and say good afternoon , i would like to speak to someone here about the policy on take corpers. He goes "we dont take corpers" I go "but I'd like to talk to someone else" and he does not relent. Finally, after seeing that I would not back down, he says the HR guy is not around and that I should leave my CV and he will get back to me. I did. Ofcourse, no one called me. A week later, I run into one of my friends who says he is serving guess where ALCATEL!!!!! With all the fury in the world, I return to the company and demand to speak to someone other than the bloody receptionist who turned out to be a freaking security guard after all. I finally saw someone and she tried to help but said I was too late cause they had taken all the corpers that they need. I was LIVID to say the least but there was nothing I could do.

Now I am somewhere else making almost 40k less than I would have been making at Alcatel but I like the place. The moral of the story is I agree with everyone but mypeace. IT is not your DAMN Job to ruin my f**king life so DONT.

Of course, someone also told me that the receptionist is part of the interview. I went to a place where the receptionist was difficult but with a little patience and charm I was able to get myself invited for a test so that is also possible but i think you should not have to toast the receptionist to get your CV on the right table.

First of all, I agree Yinka sucks. I used to like her a lot cause I sorta knew her as a kid but seeing her on this show has caused me to lose all respect for her. She is still beautiful but man! she is too too fake. One show she is shutting everyone down and speaking too much yoruba the next show she is over-feeling all the crap that is being shoved in our faces. I get that they should be encouraging but it's not even a fine line between encouragement and blatant deception yet she (and sometimes everyone else in the audience) manages to cross it over and over again.

NFC, you say we should support them because they are doing nigerian stuff. That is all well and good but come on, are you telling me that bunch of talentless hacks is the best nigeria has to offer? I have to disagree. If the producers werent out to make a quick buck from the txt messaging revenue they would have taken the time to put on a good show. Left to me, I just think they are following the line of star search and other annoying so-called talent shows and taking advantage of the fact that west african idols is only on DSTV.

And nigerians dont accept things because they are non-nigerian, they accept them because they are pleasing to the basic senses. It is a shame that too many nigerian productions do not fall under that category but the ones that do are definately appreciated. I need not mention the mega-music-stars that were made here in Nigeria.

Personally, I think the show is crap unless its aim is to aggrevate viewers in which case it is doing an excellent job. The many minutes of ear drum scratching, off key, off beat, off everything singing are punctuated with nearly pleasant and barely passable moments and I dont think that should pass as a show.

I have been alive 22 years now and I have not met or heard of any Igbo person who is, was or is even remotly considering the possibilty of maybe some day thinking about trying to become muslim.


Is there such a thing

u know what i found funnier than the joke? the fact that people actually took it seriously. i was laughing all the way through the piece. good one seun. your point taken. we need a more wholistic approach to solving fundamental problems. tell it to the politicians these days who just go about shouting i'll do this and i'll do that without saying how.

LoverBwoy:

what kind of people apply for jobs without knowing what they'll get?

The kind that need a job Most employers dont tell u jack until you have passed the interview.

I think you should go for the interview and take that time to find out what you need to know about them. You may also want to tell them how you are doing at Oceanic so they know where you are from.

Also, listen to most of the replies , they give great advice.

@goodguy

The Satanic teaching that the Lord knew that we would eat the fruit is Leading to hell many people today. God DID not know but he made his mind that if we mess up like we did he has a remedy for all of us.

he had set up this since the foundation of the world. Did God know that satan will sin against him ?

GOD HAD FAITH IN US BUT WE FAILED HIM

GO AND READ JOB YOU WILL SEE GOD'S ABSOLUTE FAITH IS MAN. Where he told Lucifer has he considered his servant Job?

Can God say that about you today?

Was God right or wrong about Job ?

David sinned against God but anytime he was found he repented and forsook those sins God Trusted David so much that he knew david never played with God but Saul was given the same chance and even better Chance but he never forsook the sin and repent genuinely.

Do you hear yourself saying God did not KNOW?? Does that not contradict your whole idea of God? You are going about defending this the wrong way. First, you cannot fault others for questioning this notion. It is only logical to think along that line if you have ,  what is it again FREEWILL

All you can do is defend your faith by saying something like, the essence of God is mystery and we must have blind faith in him. I may not buy it but at least I'd have to respect you for doing so.

And I can't find the quote now but someone said something about America being prosperous because of the christians who did something or the other.

DUDE!!!! America is like the most immoral and anti-God country around. For crying out loud, they have legistlations against the Almighty and need I tell you where Bruce Almighty was produced? All forms of perversions emmanate from that part of the globe and they are proud of it. I have heard many say it must be the Babylon of our time. But dont take my word for it. Mark Twain is one of the most celebrated american writers of all time. He wrote this:

Take care before reading that link. You may never be the same.

Wale, I dont want your girl o!!!! I got mine and you don't need to know about my game.

IT WAS ALL A JOKE!!!

phew!! talk about misunderstood humour.

Hello all !!! I've actually been around a while but I wanted to get a feel for the community before doing this post.

So far, Love what you are doing with place.

Well as a brief history: Schooled in America (Maryland to be specific) now back in Lagos doing time (NYSC Style). If you fall into this category please let me know. Misery loves company (actually so does happiness).

I am an engineer by trade, a writer by passion and a slacker by habit.

I do intend to write the great nigerian movie though. I am starting small with poems plays and documentaries.

Ok, I hope this is what you do here because I didnt read other posts.
