Talking about Sidney Sheldon has brought back wonderful memories of when I read his books: rage of angels, bloodline, the otherside of midnight and one or two others mentioned by BKG. Lallai Muhsin doesnt get the books.... Like BKG said, those that he mentioned are some of Sidney Sheldon's finest books. I remember that rage of angels made such a huge impact on me when the heroine lost everything at the end of the novel and had to start all over again. The other side of midnight is about the man who had his revenge on two characters who double crossed him or some woman, I dont remember. I thought the ending was one of the best tales of the unexpected that I'd ever read in a novel.
Who knows Dominic Dunne? I once read one of his novel ( the one and only that I'd ever read I think) He used to write for vanity fair magazine. He wrote about the scandalous affairs of America's rich but not necessarily famous. Unfortunately, articles on Hollywood started to become the norm and I stopped buying it.
The point is that if anyone had the chance to read his book titled the other woman ( I think, thats the title; its been such a long time since I read it that I cant even remember the title). But its such an excellent read that I highly recommend it to anyone who can get access to it.

Husnaa, I strongly disbelieve that America wants Nigeria's breakup. There is a lot of conspiracies regarding the BH crisis but the involvement of the USG is very weak among the conspiracies. If anything, there is no country that gives Nigeria more support to fight BH and Niger Delta militants than the US. Any crisis at this time that would make global energy prices go high is not welcomed by the US.
It is worthy to note that the US, despite all the atrocities committed by BH has refused to label it a terrorist organisation. It was reported that Nigeria even hired a lobby group in the US to lobby the congress declare BH a terrorist organisation. As far as the USG is concerned, BH does not pose a threat to the US. Up till now,BH hasn't targeted US citizens,businesses or interests. That is why some consiracy theorists believe the Nigerian govt orchestrated the UN building bombing and linked it to BH.
If the USG were to label BH as a terrorist organisation then part of the USG's homeland security budget and anti terrorism budget(in $$$) will find its way to Nigeria (this will be a very good source of smile to some Nigerian pockets).
With the BH saga, i now have a soft spot at how the United states is fighting terrorism. Its not easy to fight a psychological warfare as a nation.
There is more than one way to kill a chicken (or a man for that matter)... you can wring its neck u can electrocute it, u can slash its neck... I still believe American elements are behind BH. |

I thought Zawarawan Abuja are mostly millionnaires? that of Kano are left with nothing, the economic consequences is gravier. DB you sound like Ann Robinson from the Weakest Link:" Zawarawan Abuja, you are today's strongest link and leave with a million husbands, Zawarawan Kano, you leave with nothing; Goodbye"  |

Muhsin, ppl have other things to do than visit Konline all the time. It is a very addictive site so the less of it the better all round otherwise it has its negative side effects just like any other addictive drug. Less of K online means a healthier time management.

Is that a film, goga? I watched Expendables yesterday. Star-studded film (Stallone, Statham, Lungreen, Jet Li). Needless to say, action-packed.
It was disappointing. I thought with a cast like that, it was going to be an interesting movie. Arnold made an appearance solely so that Sylvester Stallone could utter a lame punchline on his political activities. |

The spate of bombings and gun attacks in the Northern parts of Nigeria is becoming too much and the perpetrators are getting more and more buoyed up by the successful executions of these atrocities. On Monday, a group of armed youths attacked the police station in Sharada. Almost simultaneously, gunfire exchanges were reported at Mariri. The next day on Tuesday, bomb blasts occurred in Kaduna. A shadowy terrorrist group the so called Boko Haram is said to be behind these killings. Well some THING or BODY is definitely behind the killings. Boko Haram is like alqaeda, a group which like smoke you cannot grab or clutch at, because it is just a name and anyone, just about anyone can be behind the attacks and a multiplicity of atrocities can be carried out by several disparate terrorrist cells and still all go by the name of Boko Haram. Let us not forget that America "predicted the collapse of Nigeria as an entity by 2015. The fulfilment of this prophesy is probably being engineered by it. Who knows if America is the one giving us the Boko Haram treatment just like it dished out 9/11 and its consequences to Iraq and Afghanistan? Is it too ludicrous to imagine?
