Sagamite:

You can what?

You are cretin!

See what you turned out to be and you think yours is not a bad ending?

I can guarantee you you will not find a graduate from a quality university type on an online forum in textspeak.

You think such poor and mentally lazy habit is a good way to present yourself to people?

No wonder we have moorons like you as journalists in Nigeria. Graduates that can't write but they will say they are proud of their background.

You ed two independent clauses together with a coordinating conjunction, where is your comma? person! And, you want to correct others?

Hold your own against the World my arse. Mugu!

Sir, before you remove the speck is someone's eyes, first take out the plank in yours. 'World' is a common noun.
Capitalization is only necessary at the beginning of a sentence, in a title of a book or other piece of literature, or if it is in a company's or person's name.

*Ileke-IdI:


Yes, he was the first one that sang.

Ode ni e. Ode. Oda bi eni wipe awon oko, won ki do e dada?

Is that Toyosi Akerele a man? Why is her voice so deep?

kandiikane:

How so? Since you have diagnose me with stup!dity, please expatiate.

You should laugh at yourself first before anyone else. If the only way to reply to someone is by making a fool of yourself, then I feel sorry for you. Olodo.

Here it is: It is hard to believe how incredibly stupid you are. Stup/id as a stone that the other stones make fun of. So stup/id that you have traveled
far beyond st/upid as we know it and into a new dimension of st/upid. Meta-st/upid. Stup/id cubed. Trans-stupi/d stupid. Stupi/d collapsed to
a singularity where even the stupons have collapsed into stuponium. St/upid so dense that no intelligence can escape. Singularity stu/pid.
Blazing hot summer day on Mercury st/upid. You emit more stu/pid in one minute than our entire galaxy emits in a year. Quasar stu/pid. It cannot
be possible that anything in our universe can really be this stupid. This is a primordial fragment from the original big stupid bang. A pure
extract of stupid with absolute stupid purity. Stu/pid beyond the laws of nature. I must apologize. I can't go on. This is my epiphany of
st/upid. After this experience, you may not hear from me for a while.I don't think that I can summon the strength left to mock your moronic
opinions and malformed comments about boring trivia or your other drivel. Duh.

Medals are won by people who have worked hardest not by those who have prayed hard.

Very true. Prayer makes you lazy . . . it is time we started beating this into the head of our young ones, right from kindergarten. Lets make hard work our priority and learn what real dedication is all about. No more lazying around and hoping God will come to our rescue. There is no God anywhere. We are all there is. And hard work, dedication and total ion is all the God we need.

When was the last time you were in Nigeria? Oh I , you've never been back since you and your family ran off to Gods own country. I see. . .

sarutobie: Igbo land breeds industrious women like okonjo-iwela,dora-akunyili,kema chikwe,alison madueke,my mum!..IGBO KWENU!!

Iboland also breeds Osisi, Orji Kalu, Clifford orji, Mikel's father kidnappers etc

CHESSBOARD:

we all know that Igbo women are so hard working, no wonder yorubas are rushing them for marriage

No wonder fellow Ibos are rejecting them

leslieu63: I feel so honored to be the third comment. All of
my hardwork and dedication has paid off.
Getting the top comment has been a dream of
mine for many years, and I would like to thank
those who have helped me along the way. First
and foremost I would like to thank God for
giving me this opportunity. Next I would like to
thank my parents. I want to thank my dogs
wizkid and bingo, for being really fat and always there for
me. Next I would like to thank the squirrel dbanj that
lives in my backyard for climbing trees because
that gives me inspiration that I need to get
through the day. This is a special moment in my
life and I would like to thank any of my
unmentioned friends and family that have
helped me along the way. This moment will be a
moment that I will never forget. I just
ed a few other people I would like to
thank; facebook,nairialand, my girlfriends and sugar mummies, the fish I caught in the third
grade, my light in my room because I wouldn’t
be able to see the keyboard without it, the
internet for letting me go on facebook, my
house because without it I would be homeless,
and last but not least I would like to thank all
the people out there that actually took time out
of their day to read this. I cannot stress how
much of a big deal to me this is. I have been
trying to be the first comment on a post for
years, but that has not been possible until this
amazing day. Hopefully my good luck will
continue, but this is undoubtedly a rare
occasion. If you asked me how I did this, I
would say, you can achieve anything that you set
your mind on. To all the kids out there reading
this, I would like to tell them to follow their
dreams. Being the top comment is amazing,
thank you everyone!

This Ibo girl fugly sha. Linda, not bad . . . just annoying biatch

saxywale:

The faculties that churns out first class from my uni (named after an elder stateman that appears on one of the naira note) are the social sciences(economics, geography,demography) and istration(ing).

OAU baby!

Jarus, first class economics, class of 2006!

AjanleKoko: I'm getting worried.
First class guys suddenly coming out of the woodwork

I know. Unlike your type coming out everyday?

Sagamite:

So you don't lie to men?

You want us to actually believe that?

You are always honest and tell the cold truth?

Really?

A//s/s hole fatherfuker. You think everyone is like you? Why do you like asking stupidd questions? Your stupidd questions are a good reflection of what you have between your ears. You are nothing but a pure extract of stupidd with absolute stupidd purity.

I think you need Dele Ashade's book more than Lamba lamb. Just saying.

It is not the online critics who count; not the dumb as/s behind the computer who points out how Adejoke Odumosu stumbles, or how she could have run faster. The credit belongs to[b] Ajoke Odumosu[/b] who is actually in the Olympics, whose muscle is marred by dust and sweat and lactic acid build-up; who runs valiantly; who errs, who comes last again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to compete against world class athletes; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends herself representing an ungrateful nation; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, after coming last, at least came last while daring greatly, so that her place shall never be with those lazy and fat losers on nairaland who neither know victory nor defeat.

Jarus: That they withdrew morning from via his ATM card yesternight is good news. It means he is still alive and being hidden somewhere.

May God almighty make him return alive.

How did you know all of these information? Are you in with the kidnappers? Are you one of them? Many times victim's ATMs are used after they are already dead. That you are damn sure this man is still alive tells me you know more than you are letting on?

Jarus, is this how you are funding your masters at Edinburgh Business School?

Haba, and you are fasting? Fear God Jarus? What did this man do to you?

No.

Kobojunkie: So, he gets to wear a bullet proof vest while visiting the victims of the shooting?

He should have left it in his car?

AjanleKoko:

The online option is better if you ask me. Shuttling can be really expensive, you know. Plus, as a mechanical technician, I doubt you would get the time off work to shuttle back and forth between the UK and Nigeria. A UK full-time program would definitely need you to be onsite.

As regards the genuineness of the programs: I know of Ohio State University (Masters in Industrial Engineering online), and Drexel University (various engineering masters degrees online). These are good schools. But those programs would be quite expensive.

Egbon, did you do your MS online? Just curious

LONDON — The buzzer sounded the end of the fairy tale, and the Nigerian team limped off the court in slow motion, unwilling, unable to let go. As they filed into the tunnel, the crowd stood in unison and cheered the team they call D’Tigers.

Tony Skinn, the Nigerian point guard who went to George Mason University, wound up in a hospital, having surgery for a torn quadriceps Monday.



D’Tigers lost again on Monday, this time to , standing ovation notwithstanding. To their list of firsts — first Olympics appearance, first Olympics victory — they had added something less historic: their first Olympic exit.

The run ended with the point guard in the hospital, with Sunday’s leading scorer nursing a broken toe, with only eight players healthy enough to practice. It ended with another comeback against a team stocked with N.B.A. players. It ended with another round of questions about what it meant, a basketball team from Nigeria here in the Olympics.

Afterward, not even the D’Tigers could make sense of the events of the past six weeks. On one hand, with a roster cobbled together at the last minute, they toppled established international teams — Lithuania, Greece and the Dominican Republic — just to qualify. It was not hyperbole to say they inspired a nation.

On the other, they finished Olympic group play with a 1-4 record, lost to the United States by a whopping 83 points and endured racist chants and a rash of injuries. Disappointment mixed with pride.

“People think that was the goal for us, to get here,” forward Derrick Obasohan said. “It wasn’t. Coach said we were the first African team to win an Olympic game. We earned respect, but. ...”

His voice trailed off. The man Obasohan called Coach, Ayodele Bakare, sat nearby. He looked tired, his eyes bloodshot, his shoulders slumped. He spent the morning at a hospital with Tony Skinn, the guard who led George Mason on that magical N.C.A.A. tournament run in 2006.

Skinn had surgery for a torn quadriceps on Monday, his teammates said. It surprised no one that Bakare went to see him.

For weeks, he and his staff performed so many jobs they forgot where one ended and another one began.

Bakare, the coach of the Ebun Comets in Nigeria’s professional league, constructed the roster on the fly. He built the team around Ike Diogu, a former Arizona State star, and Al-Farouq Aminu, a forward for the New Orleans Hornets. Bakare managed to find 10 players with college basketball experience to fill the roster out.

He later traded his general manager cap for his coach’s one, and after less than a month of practices, Bakare took that makeshift team to Venezuela, where, Diogu said, “we were just supposed to come in and get blown out.” Only D’Tigers stunned three opponents.

Diogu said the local crowd embraced the Nigerians, and although Diogu heard from his brother about celebrations in Nigeria, reality awaited, so many tasks and not a single person with experience to perform them.

Bakare had to arrange travel plans for his team. He even booked the flights. He found gyms for practices. He helped those without insurance to obtain it. He did so in a country fraught with political infighting, even for its sports teams. He and his players alluded to the politics Monday but declined to go into specifics.

“I don’t think a lot of people realize all the stuff that we really had to go through,” Diogu said. “If people really knew the true story, it would be an accomplishment in itself, just us making it here.”

Only Nigeria did not simply show up for its first contest and ask for autographs from its opposition. In the first game, D’Tigers defeated Tunisia, jumping ahead early and holding on late.

A country in turmoil rallied around the team that had been introduced six weeks earlier. Bakare’s voice mail filled.

Hiccups followed. A fan from Lithuania was fined for making Nazi gestures and yelling monkey chants during a Lithuanian victory. The United States scored 156 points against D’Tigers, the most ever in an Olympic game.

Yet Nigeria refused to yield. It stormed back against on Monday, behind 35 points from Chamberlain Oguchi, he of the broken toe. Bakare said that as D’Tigers tied the game late in the fourth quarter, he wanted to yell, in reference to the United States coach, Mike Krzyzewski: “Bring on Coach K! We want a rematch! Tonight!”

Afterward, unbroken, Bakare and his players dared to dream. This summer, the run, allowed them that.

They noted the injuries that plagued them, the way the roster thinned. They talked about the limited time they spent together, how, come the African championships next summer, much more could be accomplished. Bakare guaranteed Nigeria would improve more than any Olympic team over the next four years.

“You haven’t seen the last of Team Nigeria,” Obasohan said.

Players and coaches decided Monday to leave the cosmic questions, the what it meant, for later. Most planned to visit Skinn at the hospital, then scatter back across the world.

Bakare called the reaction in Nigeria uplifting, but said he received negative phone calls, too. Diogu hoped his play over the past six weeks had earned him another shot at the N.B.A. Obasohan wanted to return to his 3-month-old son, Darren, before he returned to Spain in one week for another season.

The three of them sat in a circle, in the near empty news conference room, as if competing to look most tired. The experience that inspired others had drained the men involved. Bakare even said he would consider stepping down as the coach, perhaps in 30 days.

“Nigeria basketball has come of age,” he said. “Nigeria basketball doesn’t need me anymore.”

His players quickly dismissed that notion. Bakare, their coach, general manager, insurance agent and travel secretary, embodied what D’Tigers became over the past six weeks. Not simply a basketball team. A historic one.

yemmy_ma:

Lol, I will give him the benefit of the doubt. It is just that we are seeing more first class on nairaland these days. Or are the 1% of them AJ talked about all on Nairaland?
