Any news on Orukpe?

Curious as to what the normal menu would be in Nigeria. Has the American fast food industry reached out as far as Africa?

McDonald's website does not list Nigeria, but does South Africa. There are tons of countries listed, so I doubt McD is there yet.

Then for all you guys know, it could be a garbage woman.....LOL

In addition to running for president?

Are you talking about women running for president or trash running for president. Either way you are correct. I am certain there are at least two pieces of garbage running for president.

IMO Mccain, obama, and clinton are all trash. Nobody wants to run for president these days

The media just doesn't want them to win and pushes other candidates. Then the masses, which many are uninformed and get all of thier info from the networks, vote for crap candidates and leave the rest of us to pick which one we think is less crap.

I will be running for president in 2024 and one of the things I wish to accomplish is flying a "Go Shockers" underneath the USA flag on all federal buildings. Who wants to vote for me?

Early in the race, the media talks about the obvious "names", not the best candidates. The public then see these names being constantly talked about on TV and the newspapers. This feeds the media to talk about them even more.

Thus, the media defines who the "electable" candidates are before the public even has a fair chance to evaluate other candidates. This is partly the fault of the general public for relying too much on the media and partly the fault of the media for not giving all candidates equal time and treatment. I know they aren't required to do that, but it would be the responsible thing to do. (Yes, I'm laughing inside.)

You put that much better than I

I'd like to see real debates, with specific answers to questions. Examples: Do you believe in evolution or are you a potential Kansas Board of education member? Why is China our friend and owner of much of our debt and Cuba a country to be shunned? Next time we start a war will you endorse drafting the children of the Congress and Senate?
Ahhh, but to dream

Pardon me, Royal, is this now a political discussion forum and no longer ShockerNet? I enjoy discussing politics, but let's keep this forum what it is supposed to be!

If I want to discuss whether McCain, or Clinton, or Obama are worthy candidates or not, I can go to the Wichita Eagle discussion forum for that exercise.

I come to ShockerNet to keep abreast of Wichita State athletics and would like to keep it that way!

This thread has drifted far from the original discussion -- escaping from Nigeria -- "Out Of Africa."

Moving on.

[SubGod22]

His escape from Africa was a political process :D

But I'd much rather talk about more Ehimen sightings.

[Txlen]

I agree.

After he gets settled in and is allowed to talk openly, it will be interesting to read his first interview in which he offers his impressions of this country and discusses his experience of getting here.

You're right, Tx. My apologies.

This topic has taken on a life of it's own and drifted off on tangents a time or two. But it always comes back.

Do you think E.O. would be excited about a parade after the CWS? Wasn't there a parade a few years ago, say 19 years ago? :whistle:


:D

I don't remember a parade. Wasn't there a big shindig at the Eck though?
