Re: The Book Discussion Club (africa) by HumbledbYGrace(f): 7:50pm On Feb 18, 2013 |
Larry-Sun:iam just stating facts here....most of the ladies wait until the eleventh hour to have babies and start a family, then there will be a high rate of divorce as they will be in a rush to get Mr right, who will happen not to be soo right after all. For the guy its fine to wait though |

Sorry mine is late. Been fake-busy as always. I love this story. It reads like gossip, refreshing gossip, whatever that means. I hate that the narration is too fast-paced. And the writing still seems very raw and in need of an editor but then the writer is quite good on her own too. I don't know if it's fiction but I totally get the narrator's life. Like what if you are 35 and you still haven't got the kinda man you've always dreamed of sharing your life. Do you lower all standards and 'screening processes' and start to go out with even the men that bore, scare, or irritate you just so you can finally get married before menopause. If a woman has been smart all her life, is she expected to suddenly start being dumb just because she is 35? Does that mean there are no smart men for the smart women out there or does it confirm my fears that most Nigerian men are scared of smart women and can only feel good around women they can control. Larry-Sun: I hate the quote above btw. Looking forward to reading about the rest of her life sha, sounds interesting. Time to post again HBG? |

Hi guys..Iv just posted episode 2 of finding Hubby Guess I have been away for far too long |
Re: The Book Discussion Club (africa) by HumbledbYGrace(f): 12:51pm On Feb 27, 2013 |
breathing: Sorry mine is late. Been fake-busy as always.it still beats me why most black sisters wait till the Eleventh hour to search for Mr wrong. (As Mj Blige puts it) is it that all the guys were so not good for them? |
Re: The Book Discussion Club (africa) by breathing(f): 4:58pm On Feb 27, 2013 |
HumbledbYGrace: it still beats me why most black sisters wait till the Eleventh hour to search for Mr wrong. (As Mj Blige puts it) is it that all the guys were so not good for them? Well, didn't the bible say 'A man shall find a wife', it never said a woman shall have to search for Mr. Right or wrong. So what should beat you is why good African men wait so long to find smart African women. |

breathing:its not the men fault, ladies are difficult! |
Re: The Book Discussion Club (africa) by LarrySun(m): 5:40pm On Feb 27, 2013 |
HumbledbYGrace: its not the men fault, ladies are difficult!Exactly. It'll take quite a while for her to understand that |
Re: The Book Discussion Club (africa) by breathing(f): 5:35am On Feb 28, 2013 |
Larry-Sun: Warn yourself! HBG: its not the men fault, ladies are difficult Ok, you mean women should be easy and all easy women are married? Why don't I see men getting married at 22, most men always wait until they've got their lives in order before they get married. So moral of the story: Black sisters, when you get past twenty, please start rounding off your single lives, get married to the first man that comes knocking so that you get to bear him many children. Let's read the next chapter then. |
Re: The Book Discussion Club (africa) by LarrySun(m): 5:41am On Feb 28, 2013 |
breathing:Wow! Whatever did I do wrong? Shouldn't I voice my opinion? |
Re: The Book Discussion Club (africa) by breathing(f): 5:47am On Feb 28, 2013 |
Larry-Sun: 'It would take a while for who to understand what' biko? |
Re: The Book Discussion Club (africa) by LarrySun(m): 5:53am On Feb 28, 2013 |
breathing:Excuse me! I was referring to the protagonist. I HATE the above comment! |
Re: The Book Discussion Club (africa) by breathing(f): 6:12am On Feb 28, 2013 |
Larry-Sun: ℓ☺ℓ, ok, really sorry. That read like you were referring to me. |
Re: The Book Discussion Club (africa) by LarrySun(m): 10:15am On Feb 28, 2013 |
breathing:No offence conceded. I didn't act very gentlemanly myself, I'm also sorry. |
Re: The Book Discussion Club (africa) by breathing(f): 7:32am On Mar 01, 2013 |
Larry-Sun: No p. Read the second part of the story. It's getting really interesting here. Couldn't stop laughing. Now I'm tempted to just read the whole thing. HBG, could you drop a link for me, let me go read there. |
Re: The Book Discussion Club (africa) by HumbledbYGrace(f): 8:04am On Mar 01, 2013 |
breathing:hahaha....just google 'naijastories-finding hubby' it will get you there. The time I was reading it I had to wait for days before the guy update his stuff but it will be easy now coz he is done. Have fun |

Re: The Book Discussion Club (africa) by Nobody: 2:37pm On Mar 02, 2013 |
Oyin Clegg almost lied again o. This one is tit for tat night,no time to check time jare if you do me i do you lol. Oyin made us believe that kalu was sorta too clingy for her liking but he so proved her wrong and even with a better option,i suppose it's when you have not seen someone else's father's farm that you will claim that your father's own is very big.Even she had to agree that the new girl was much more pretty,she even said that her name was just as pretty lol,but she showed kalu that 'she nor they carry last'. We'd see where they all end their lives though. |

Both she and Kalu are just so childish! How old are they again? Quite funny though! Elicited a smile. |
