Chad (i/tʃæd/; Arabic: تشاد Tshād; French: Tchad), officially the Republic of Chad (Arabic: جمهورية تشاد Jumhūrīyat Tshād; French: République du Tchad), is a landlocked country in Central Africa. It is bordered by Libya to the north, Sudan to the east, the Central African Republic to the south, Cameroon and Nigeria to the southwest and Niger to the west. It is the fifth largest country in Africa in terms of area.
Chad has several regions: a desert zone in the north, an arid Sahelian belt in the centre and a more fertile Sudanian Savanna zone in the south. Lake Chad, after which the country is named, is the largest wetland in Chad and the second-largest in Africa. N'Djamena, the capital, is the largest city. Chad is home to over 200 different ethnic and linguistic groups. Arabic and French are the official languages. Islam and Christianity are the most widely practiced religions.
Beginning in the 7th millennium BC, human populations moved into the Chadian basin in great numbers. By the end of the 1st millennium BC, a series of states and empires rose and fell in Chad's Sahelian strip, each focused on controlling the trans-Saharan trade routes that passed through the region. France conquered the territory by 1920 and incorporated it as part of French Equatorial Africa. In 1960, Chad obtained independence under the leadership of François Tombalbaye. Resentment towards his policies in the Muslim north culminated in the eruption of a long-lasting civil war in 1965. In 1979, the rebels conquered the capital and put an end to the south's hegemony. However, the rebel commanders fought amongst themselves until Hissène Habré defeated his rivals. He was overthrown in 1990 by his general Idriss Déby. Since 2003, the Darfur crisis in Sudan has spilt over the border and destabilised the nation, with hundreds of thousands of Sudanese refugees living in and around camps in eastern Chad.

('-poulos' [Gr. -πουλος] is a common Greek suffix in surnames, meaning "son of"; 'Stamat-' is the root, which is derived from the name Stamat-ios [Gr. Σταμάτ-ιος] --> Stamat-is [Gr. Σταμάτ-ης], with the -o- in between being an addition for easier pronunciation).

Of courtin this chick and I still aint hit that ass,
She had the nerve to ask a favor of Dwe,

After her job was done
She went to the bathroom and said 'ill be back soon'
But you know what was strange?
She picked up her phone.
I overheard her say, 'bobby I got the dough meet me on monroe'
I choked on pride, this bitch was wrong
But I held my tongue...
As she exited the bathroom and came in
I grabbed her legs,
Threw her onto my bed,
I released my tongue
Karma lingeres until she screamed jesus!
I nto her ear I whispered.. pssssss..
And a single tear drop falls
Simply caused to the (realized is pimpin??)
She looked uneasy,
She says 'I got to go.'

She asked for the key to the stash for the cash, B.
Bobby's birthday was tomorrow.
She promised to suck my skabarro.
The keys to unlock the safe is,
Of three years of Bobby girl's shadiness.

Meanwhile,
I go to take a piss,
She dropped a note in the bathroom sink and
With the inked was ran and shit.
Something about 'Japan first class ticket'.
I used my only lead.
I got in my whip to see about Monroe street.
There I see a limosine.
Windows cracked with this bitch in the backseat.
I said 'What the hell is this?'
She said 'I came with Stayo pimp and his profile.
The hottest Tokyo sound.'
Oh you Shady Mothafuuu...
