A die hard NIGERIAN fan could do that... When they can even afford to lose their own lives... Well I pity them.

A Nigerian Policeman arrested a teenage couple he found standing in a dark secluded area of a main road close to a bush part. When the boy asked the policeman what their offence was, he thought for a moment and blurted out "for harbouring bad thing in mind!"

It was the first day of the session and a new direct entry student, Mensah, a Ghanian, joined the class in one of Nigerian universities.
The Lecturer said, “Let's begin by reviewing some Nigerian history.” The lecturer asked who said, “I shall return to die in the land of my fathers.” She saw a sea of blank faces, except for Mensah, who had his hand up. Mensah replied: “King Jaja of Opobo, 1875” "Very good!'' said the lecturer. Then she asked again, who said, “The land use act will feed the nation?” Again, no response except from Mensah: “Obasanjo, 1976." The lecturer snapped at the class; "Class, you should be ashamed. Mensah, who is new to our country, knows more about its history than you do." The lecturer heard a loud whisper: “Ghana must go” "Who said that?” she demanded Mensah put his hand up, “Buhari, 1984.” At that point, a student in the back scornfully said; “Hmmm, you think you are smart?” The lecturer glared and asked; “All right! Now, who said that?” Again, Mensah said, “Babangida to Abiola, 1992.” Now furious, another student yelled; “Oh yeah! Eat this!” Mensah jumped out of his chair waving his hand and shouting to the lecturer, “Indian mistress giving apple to Abacha, 1998!” Now, with almost mob hysteria, someone said; “You little shit. If you say anything else, i'll kill you.” Mensah frantically yelled at the top of his voice; “Chris Uba to Ngige, 2004!'' The Lecturer fainted, and as the class gathered around her on the floor, someone said; “Oh shit, we're in BIG trouble now!” Mensah whispered; “Chimaroke Nnamani, James Ibori, Ayodele Fayose, Lucky Igbinedon, 2007” |

I got this piece from a friend. Hope you find it interesting.
INTERESTING CONVERSATION. An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problem science has with God, The Almighty. He asks one of his new Christian students to stand and..... Professor: You are a Christian, aren't you, son? Student: Yes, sir. Prof: So you believe in God? Student: Absolutely, sir. Prof: Is God good? Student: Sure. Prof: Is God all-powerful? Student: Yes. Prof: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn't. How is this God good then? Hmm? (Student is silent.) Prof: You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young fella. Is God good? Student: Yes. Prof: Is Satan good? Student: No. Prof: Where does Satan come from? Student: From...God.. . Prof: That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world? Student: Yes. Prof: Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything. Correct? Student: Yes. Prof: So who created evil? (Student does not answer.) Prof: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don't they? Student: Yes, sir. Prof: So, who created them? (Student has no answer.) Prof: Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son...Have you ever seen God? Student: No, sir. Prof: Tell us if you have ever heard your God? Student: No , sir. Prof: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelt your God? Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter? Student: No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't. Prof: Yet you still believe in Him? Student: Yes. Prof: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son? Student: Nothing. I only have my faith. Prof: Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has. Student: Professor, is there such a thing as heat? Prof: Yes. Student: And is there such a thing as cold? Prof: Yes. Student: No sir. There isn't. (The lecture theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events.) Student: Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don't have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero, which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it. (There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.) Student: What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness? Prof: Yes. What is night if there isn't darkness? Student: You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light.... But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and it's called darkness, isn't it? In reality, darkness isn't. If it were you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you? Prof: So what is the point you are making, young man? Student: Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed. Prof: Flawed? Can you explain how? Student: Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can't even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey? Prof: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do. Student: Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir? (The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument is going.) Student: Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher? (The class is in uproar.) Student: Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor's brain? (The class breaks out into laughter.) Student: Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's brain, felt it, touched or smelt it?.....No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir? (The room is silent. The professor stares at the student, his face unfathomable. ) Prof: I guess you'll have to take them on faith, son. Student: That is it sir.. The link between man & God is FAITH. That is all that keeps things moving & alive. Amazingly true isn’t it?????? Have a lovely day HE WHO SAYS IN HIS MIND, "THERE IS NO GOD", IS A FOOL! |

THIS IS WHAT SOMEONE WROTE TO A SYSTEM ANALYST:
Dear System Analyst, I am desperate for some help! I recently upgraded my program from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0 and found that the new program began unexpected child Processing and also took up a lot of space and valuable resources. This wasn't mentioned in the product brochure. In addition Wife 1.0 Installs itself into all other programs and launches during systems Initialization and then it monitors all other system activities. Applications such as "Boys' Night out 2.5" and "Golf 5.3" no longer Run, and crashes the system whenever selected. Attempting to operate Selected "Saturday Rugby 6.3" always f! ails and "Saturday Shopping 7.1" runs instead. I cannot seem to keep Wife 1.0 in the background whilst attempting to run any of my favourite applications. Be it online or offline. I am thinking of going back to "Girlfriend7. 0", but uninstall doesn't work on this program. Can you please help? Urgently Need Help ...... AND THIS WHAT THE ANALYST SAID; Dear Urgently Need Help, This is a very common problem resulting from a basic misunderstanding of the functions of the "Wife 1.0 " program. Many customers upgrade from "Girlfriend 7.0" to "Wife 1.0 " thinking that "Wife 1.0" is merely a UTILITY AND ENTERTAINMENT PROGRAM. Actually, "Wife 1.0 " is an OPERATING SYSTEM designed by it's Creator to Run everything. You are unlikely to be able to purge "Wife 1.0 " and still convert back to "Girlfriend 7.0 ", as "Wife 1.0 " was not designed to do this and it is Impossible to uninstall, delete or purge the program files from the System once it is installed. Some people have tried to install "Girlfriend 8.0 " or "Wife 2.0 " but have ended up with even more problems. (See manual under Alimony/Child Support and Solicitors' Fees). Having " Wife 1.0 " installed, I recommend you keep it installed And deal with the difficulties as best as you can. When any faults or problems occur, whatever you think has caused them, you must run the :\APOLOGIZE\ FORGIVE ME&n! bsp; program and avoid attempting to use the *Esc-Key for it will freeze the entire system. It may be necessary to run C:\APOLOGIZE\ FORGIVE ME for a number of times, and eventually hope that the operating system will return to normal. "Wife 1.0 ", although a very high maintenance program, can be very rewarding. To get the most out of it, consider buying additional Software such as "Flowers 2.0" and "Chocolates 5.0" or "HUGS\KISSES 600.0" or "TENDERNESS\ UNDERSTANDING 1000.0", or even "Eating Out Without the Kids 7.2.1" (if child processing has already started). DO NOT under any circumstances install "Secretary 2.1" (Short Skirt Version) or "One Nightstand 3.2" (Any Mood Version), as this is not a supported Application for "Wife 1.0 " and the system will almost certainly CRASH. BEST OF LUCK! Regards, Your System Analyst |

Does Management know their Staff?
On walking into the factory, the MD noticed a young guy leaning against the wall, doing nothing. He approached the young man and calmly said to him, "How much do you earn?" The young man was quite amazed that he was asked such a personal question, he replied, none the less, "I earn $ 2000.00 a month, Sir. Why?" Without answering, the MD took out his wallet and removed $6000.00 cash and gave it to the young man and said, "Around here I pay people for working, not for standing around looking pretty! Here is your 3 months salary, now GET OUT and don't come back". The young man turned around and was quickly out of sight. Noticing a few onlookers, the MD said in a very upset manner, "And that applies to everybody in this company". He approached one of the onlookers and asked him, "Who's the young man I just fired?" To which an amazing reply came- "He was the pizza delivery guy, Sir!"
