Is Nigeria surviving as a nation on the neck of America? No. After all, Pres. Obama showed his dislike and lack of regard for Nigeria when he visited a neighbouring country and shunned Nigeria, so what? Why are we then surprised that Nigeria was immediately put on America's so called 'watch' list? Nigeria is a sovereign nation and has the right to defend its territory and peoples. With this reaction from America, Nigeria also has a right to place America on its 'frenemies' watch list and relate with them as such. We should not just take any trash forced down our throats by any country. What's the nationality of the shoe bomber? Was Britain put on America's 'watch' list? No. Nigeria should keep its stand and let America or any other country for that matter understand that we are no push over. One would have expected America to work with the relevant authorities in Nigeria to investigate further and come up with a masterplan towards forestalling any such future negative acts. After the shoe bomber's attempt, America and Britain are still working together towards checking the acts of terrorism. Of course we know that if America had respect for Nigeria, it would have done the same with Nigeria. Agreed, we have internal problems that we are grappling with, but America should not come and dump 'terrorrism' on Nigeria without considering all the facts surrounding Mutallab's shameful act. America should have considered all facts on the ground before slamming Nigeria as a terrorist nation, otherwise, the result may not be mutually beneficial to both countries.
The Obama administration had sent signals to the PDP in Aso Rock that business won't continue as usual. The handwriting was already on the wall (read Obama's speech in Ghana, Hillary's comments in Nairobi and Abuja and Johnnnie Carson's remarks on Capitol Hill in November). AbdulMutallab's case has just given them something concrete to latch on to and be rest assured that they will pile on the pressure. The PDP govt needs to coordinate a sensible response and not have every Ayogu Eze, Wole Oke and Ahmed Alkali mouthing vain threats at America. The Senate needs to fasttrack the screening of Prof Adefuye's nomination as the Ambassador to Washington and let us have a focal pointman in DC working with the White House & Foggy Bottom to resolve this issue.

Pecking, smooching, Frenching, and playing tonsil-hockey—there are as many names for kissing as there are ways to do it. Whether we use it as an informal greeting or an intensely romantic gesture, kissing is one of those ingrained human behaviors that seems to defy explanation. Its many purposes—a blow and peck for good luck on dice, lips to ground after a rocky boat ride, kisses in the air to an acquaintance, and the long slow smooches of Hollywood—have different meanings yet are similar in nature. So why is it that we love to pucker up?

A Kiss Isn’t Just a Kiss
Philematologists, the scientists who study kissing, aren’t exactly sure why humans started locking lips in the first place. The most likely theory is that it stems from primate mothers passing along chewed food to their toothless babies. The lip-to-lip contact may have been passed on through evolution, not only as a necessary means of survival, but also as a general way to promote social bonding and as an expression of love.

But something’s obviously happened to kissing since the time of the chewed-food pass. Now, it’s believed that kissing helps transfer critical information, rather than just meat bits. The kissing we associate with romantic courtship may help us to choose a good mate, send chemical signals, and foster long-term relationships. All of this is important in evolution’s ultimate goal—successful procreation.

Kissing allows us to get close enough to a mate to assess essential characteristics about them, none of which we’re consciously processing. Part of this information exchange is most likely facilitated by pheromones, chemical signals that are passed between animals to help send messages. We know that animals use pheromones to alert their peers of things like mating, food sources, and danger, and researchers hypothesize that pheromones can play a role in human behavior as well. Although the vomeronasal organs, which are responsible for pheromone detection and brain function in animals, are thought to be vestigial and inactive in humans, research indicates we do communicate with chemicals.

 Michael Jackson
Did you really expect anyone else? Michael Jackson used to be a successful black singer, but took it upon himself to destroy his face and reputation. He now looks like an albino alien whose nose appears to change on a daily basis. Just goes to show you what can happen if you are too critical of your looks... you can end up an albino alien like Mike


Marilyn Manson

Seriously ... what the hell happened to this kid? From the ghostly white makeup you can see on his black collar to the funky blue eye and blood red lips ... Marilyn Manson is a freak and there's nothing more to say, he's ugly by choice. And not only is he ugly, but he scares the crap out of us.


Michael Berryman

No, it is not make-up. This actor born in LA, suffers from Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia (a rare condition leaving him with no sweat glands, hair, fingernails or teeth). He played Pluto in Wes Craven's 1977 horror film The Hills Have Eyes. He has also appeared in numerous science fiction and fantasy movies such as My Science Project (1985), Weird Science (1985), Armed Response (1986) and Evil Spirits (1990). He also appeared in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, and The Devil's Rejects. Berryman generally portrays mutant bikers, evil undertakers, monsters and other frightening characters. He has also starred in episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation and The X-Files.

Marty Feldman

And yet another terrible case. Marty Feldman (1934 – 1982) was an English writer, comedian and BAFTA award winning actor, notable for his bulging eyes, which were the result of a thyroid condition known as Graves Disease. He wrote situation comedies such as The Army Game, Bootsie and Snudge for the BBC and later had a series of his own on the BBC called Marty. He also appeared in The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother and Mel Brooks' Silent Movie, as well as directing and starring in The Last Remake of Beau Geste. He guest-starred in the "Arabian Nights" episode of The Muppet Show.

Lyle Lovett

Lyle Lovett has to have some good blackmail on someone. Otherwise, how in the hell did he ever get into acting? And the fact that Julia Roberts married this beast makes us think she's not only nuts, but ugly too. Tell us one thing that you find attractive about this man ... go on. Then we'll laugh at you.


 Kelis

Holy hell ... Kelis is not bringin' any boys to the yard looking like that. There have been rumors that she is really a man, and quite frankly we are thinking something's not right with this chick. Every time we see her she has her mouth open and looks like she's ready to eat us. She's scary. Next time we see her, we are looking for the Adam's apple.


 Ronaldinho

Probably the world's best soccer player at this time, Ronaldinho might be one of the funniest, honest, and nicest celebs around... but he's also one of the ugliest. This brazilian is certainly saving his huge salary for something other than helping his image








Jocelyn Wildenstein

Holy crap! This is what happens when you get obsessed with plastic surgery. A wealthy socialite from Switzerland, Jocelyn is actually a celeb for being so ugly. Her extreme appearance has led to the press giving her the nickname "The Bride of Wildenstein," a reference to The Bride of Frankenstein. Wildenstein has allegedly spent almost US$4,000,000 on cosmetic surgery over the years, all payed by her husband, the billionaire international art dealer Alec Wildenstein.

Nigerian men that are unable to bear children could be paying the price for drinking from Beer Can or Plastic bottels. This was revealed in a recent report that most of the Can or Bottle are made with a chemical known as BPA. guys beware and drink less or rather drink from a beer bottle as it is our ladies that will suffer from it from our mother in-laws. :'(.

U are asked by ur bestfriend girlfriend to plead on her behalf for sleeping with his elder brother and were cut in the act by him. How can u handle dat when u are a type of guy that breaks up with a girl if u know she's cheating on u. be honest

I dnt understand whats going on again on facebook, at first i tot it was a site for people to find their long tym friends whom they've lost contact with, but now i think it is flirting or dating site (if i may say) because guys go about phyuking with girls head and they start dating. Everyday girls and boys are losing their boyfriend or girlfriend to the hands of facebook. Plz, we need immediate attention.

As long as the guy is not my boyfriend, God save his soul because even dead man go better pass am cos i will so disgrace him to the extent he'll wish the ground opens up and swallow him. wat rubbish

This topic is meant for those who truely know what LOVE means. The most romantic kiss was so electrifying, i could hear my heart beating faster, and my blooding racing. I could bearly open my eyes, it was so grrrrrrrrrrrrrrah.
