Apple Versus Samsung. Photo Credit: Pandith News . Samsung To Pay Apple More Than $US1 billion for Patent Infringement Apple shares soared to a new all-time high after the US tech giant's big win in a patent lawsuit against South Korea's Samsung, which saw its own stock tumble.

But there are many things wrong with the humans there called Nigerians, because many of them are now mutants. 2. Majority of Nigerians pretend to worship God, but they prefer to dine and wine with devils.

Photo Credit: Zimbio . Nigerians That Are Worse Than Boko Haram, Kidnappers and Armed Robbers To most people, the dreaded Boko Islamic terrorist sect is the worst thing that has ever happened to Nigeria and also worsening the nightmares of Nigerians are the unrepentant kidnappers and armed robbers who are making living in the most populous country in Africa unpleasant and even suicidal when you dare to go to the most dangerous zones in Nigeria like in the northern and eastern states where the Boko Haram terrorists, desperate kidnappers and conscienceless armed robbers are on the prowl like predators in the jungle. But there are Nigerians who are worse than them all this lunatic fringe of Nigerians among the following in the Rogue Gallery of Nigeria: 1. Members of the National Assembly posing and posturing as innocent lawmakers, but they are wolves in sheep clothing who cheated and murdered others, misappropriated public funds and rigged elections to get into public office. 2....

Tracy Obonna, Supple Magazine's Sexiest Woman Alive . Rihanna, Esquire's 2011 Sexiest Woman Alive. Supple Magazine’s Sexiest Black Woman Alive Challenges Esquire’s Sex Symbols Esquire’s celebrated Sexiest Woman Alive has defined the status quo of female sex symbols in entertainment for years without any critical objection to the selection process, because the chosen sexiest women have been based on the popular choice of millions of the readers and fans from a short list of nominees. But the selection of nominees who are always predominantly Caucasian sex symbols is warped by racial prejudice of the White controlled American news media. That is why most of their so called sexiest women alive in the world have been Caucasian bimbos with only few exceptions such as Halle Berry and Rihanna and this is what Supple magazine is challenging by naming Tracy Obonna , aka The Nigerian Bombshell as the Sexiest Black Woman Alive. Tracy Obonna is hotter, prettier and sexier tha...

The Bokoharamic Muslims and the Islamic Muslims in Nigeria? Many Nigerian Muslims want to be disassociated from the dreaded Boko Haram Islamic terrorists and they have denounced the extremism of the Islamists insisting that true Islam is a religion of peace and forbids violence. Majority of Muslims are not terrorists and don’t like being profiled as terror suspects. Therefore, I conclude that it means we should separate the two kinds of Muslims in Nigeria to avoid erroneous or ambiguous generalization. There are the “Bokoharamic” Muslims and the Islamic Muslims, okay? But they both worship at the same mosques and share the same symbol of the crescent and the star.

The Girl With the Leaking Vagina The story of the girl with the leaking vagina is not fiction, but a true life story. The girl with the leaking vagina is not a delight to sight and you may never recognize her on the street, because she does not want to be recognized in the present state of her predicament. She wants to hide the stigma and trauma of her loathsome disease that has made her cruel husband to drive her away and to be ostracized by others who have made her an object of derision as they cringe, cover their noses and spit at the first sight of her. Nobody wants to sit, talk or walk with her on the street , except her beloved mother, the only one sharing the pains and tears of her heavy burden day and night. Her mother is the only helping her to clean and wash her smelling underwear and other clothes everyday and nurses the wound of her malodorous sore. The sore that is always oozing with pus and the nauseating odour wherever she goes and she has to be in sanitary towels 2...

Celebrity Popularity by Brown Envelopes: From the Bellanaira to the Lindarella "Truth is not only violated by falsehood, it may be equally outraged by silence" - Henri Frederic Amiel 1821 – 1881. Four horrible and terrible evils are rampant in Nigeria and these four evils have done more harm to Nigeria than even the dreaded Boko Haram Islamic terrorists, Niger Delta militants, Igbo kidnappers, hired killers, robbers, prostitutes and other lunatic fringe of the populace, because majority of Nigerians are either active or passive agents and perpetrators of these horrible and terrible evils plaguing our beloved nation. They are CORRUPTION, HYPOCRISY, IGNORANCE and MEDIOCRITY. These four evils are practiced and celebrated by both members of the ruling class and the poor masses from the bedroom to the boardroom, from the street to the internet, from the cesspit to the pulpit and from the closets indoors to the cabinets of the corridors of power in Lagos, Abuja and other ...
