[Mamyalynne]

Now your title makes sense, watched both reports - I hope the area continues to thrive.

[wolf63]

emmie - your link seemed to be about something called Football.

[emmie]

that wasn't there when i posted, they must change stories, sorry about that.

[emmie]

mamy
so do i.

[anotheoldgit]

A NEWS story??????????

[Mamyalynne]

Yes.

[emmie]

yes, and a good one for a change.
if you got the football link, look at wolfs post.

[Mamyalynne]

//Nigeria's north-eastern city of Maiduguri has been at the epicentre of the Boko Haram insurgency since 2009. But recent military advances mean life is now returning to normal -//

[emmie]

aren't you a little tired of war, war, war, this proves that not all news
stories have to be bad ones.

emmie

You posted a thread, regarding a Nigerian traffic policeman gyrating, just like Michael Jackson.

How can that possibly be news?

[Mamyalynne]

Good news from a City that may be returning to some normality and even the chance to smile.


Now in this World of tears - that is News.

[emmie]

for anyone check out wolf's link, mine just shows the footie.
however both show some degree of improvement of life

It's not all tears Mam, and there must be thousands upon thousands of people acting daft all over the world, why should one in Nigeria be a news story?

[Zacs-Master]

Yeah, bit like male bobbies dancing with Afro Caribbean ladies at NHCarnival aint it.

[emmie]

aog
with all the turmoil in the world, one man has stood out, its a bit of fun in a dire country, they have their fair share of problems, like boko haram, so it is news, whether you think it or not.

[emmie]

zac
not really, perhaps some don't get the point. Mamy does.

[Mamyalynne]

The first link in a way is the more informative about how life is gradually showing some signs of recovery - but you'd really rather grumble about the lovely Policeman wouldn't you.

Whinge, whinge whinge.
