Talking about being forced back to school.

lmao again _{she has no clue}

no, i mean the back and forth conversations btw laudate and olanajim might sound reasonable, but abeg who has time to sit down and read everything? in this day and age of short attention span, i feel tired even just glancing at their posts. anyway sha, no be by force to read abi?

Impossible!

lovemajek:

u ait rit

I believe in English it's translated to "you aint right" aka "you are not serious"

Tiffy, she wanted to say, "you are right" agreeing with Soulpatrol's post;

soulpatrol:

english 001. back to basics ehn.

SEX IS a humongous part of Marriage.

If it were just about companionship then why get married at all. I'm pretty sure we don't need a court of law, judge, or minister to bless or approve basic platonic friendships.

The point is, that SEX is one of the major things that make marriage a covenant (traditionally a type of blood covenant).

Some of you seem to have some problems with reading comprehension, and have erroneously quoted me, and went off on a tangent about how depressing and unusual my ideas are.

I think its sadder that just because I am a woman who isn't against polygamy that I am practically branded an alien and an slowpoke (Progressive You are NOT). I am NOT in a PLural marriage - for the record.

I sure hope some of these women of Nairaland never end up being leaders in your country.
Their inability to have an open ear and disagree without denigrating an individual is nto virtuous.

There are matters you don't need a second blink before you take actions against. However, no man or woman can stop polygamy.

I wish a minimum, age requirement would be imposed so that little girls like THIEF would be forced to go play somewhere else, so grown folks can talk.

so grown folks can squabble like children defending anachronistic ideas like polygamy?

PTH:

I wonder what the grown ups are saying?.
Olanajim tells us polygamy is good for humanity
some unvirtous woman earlier told us she wanted her husband to take on a wife who would perform in bed while she recovered from an illness.
That's what the "grown ups" are saying.
Who wants to join them?

I'll gladly talk with the "children" who believe in the sanctity of the matrimonial bed.

Whatever happened to the marriage vows "in sickness and in health, for better for worse" DAMN!

abi oh!

Osisi i don tell u say if u no dey married i for marry you straight, with that big ikebe i hrd babaosisi is enjoying now

grown ups my foot!

for better for worse! not for better for 'when i'm sick, get a substitute screw'

Adults get on with their lives even when there is no sex. for crying out loud, when you're still ALIVE you want your husband shagging another woman?

May i remain forever a kid sef, wait Jesus don talk am sef, na only pikin dey enter heaven

Abeg debosky, how dare you disagree with "grown ups" like madam tanna? She's only trying to help her husband who cant zip up his pants because the woman he claimed to have married for better for worse is ill.
I know of a family friend who went 12yrs without remarrying because he didnt want to hurt the memory of his late wife by marrying too soon. He only remarried about 3 yrs ago because of unrelenting pressure from family and friends.

debosky:

May i remain forever a kid sef, wait Jesus don talk am sef, na only pikin dey enter heaven

May I join you, please? YES. Thanks!

debosky:

May i remain forever a kid sef, wait Jesus don talk am sef, na only pikin dey enter heaven

my brother, Jesus know wetin im dey talk.

This is the most appalling thing I've ever read on NL. Dear JESUS!

I rebuke you!  That your prayer will not be answered.

Lmao!

Thank you o.
Cant believe some non nigerian akata tart is running her mouth on who should be on a NIGERIAN forum.
What's wrong? Is BET.com/blackplanet.com down or something? Berra comot from my face.
Damned hypocrite. It's ok for your "weakling" husband to seek another woman while you're on your death bed but women should just stare like idiots right? I hope you truly are married and not just saying all that garbage just to get a nigerian dude here because i wouldnt put it past your kind.

who taught her this "virtuous" word self that she's been repeating like a broken record? Now "word of the day" in the ghetto? shio.

P.S. Amen

lesson no.1: a public forum is NOT the place to go for rational discourse on ANYTHING.

However it is a great place to sample opinion.

I disagree with tanna and olanajim but strangely enough I find myself siding with them against the crowd that just feels they should shut up and not speak at all.

Thats like trying to solve your problem by burying your head in the sand. I'd love to debate the issue of children with them, for example ask tanna whether she would be comfortable with the suffering her children would endure for the sake of her husband's happiness, but its hard for me to do so when everyone else on my side is just attacking them and judging them without hearing them out

@TOH: This is NOT directed at you. You've chilled out, which is cool, but then others just jumped in from nowhere and the whole thing flared up again. Thats pretty frustrating for me. I was hoping for some interesting discussions. You hardly ever see a person defending polygamy that isnt some crazed religious nut or barely literate 'traditionalist'. Also please resist the urge to hit back at Tanna for calling you a child. Ignoring such comments is the easiest way to squash them.

Um you realized that others jumped in because of her idiotic remark about our country and Nigerian women right?

Why shouldnt they reply?

As for me, that day they approve polyandry I shall be contrary to plygamy.

Na only men sabi enjoyment?

Like me now who wan marry Will Smith, LL Cool J, Nelly, Johnny Depp, Jude Law, I nor fit because this chauvinist society nor let me.

Legalize polyandry and I'll leave polygamous men alone!

ROFL
una no go kill me for nairaland.
debo just keep praying,the good Lord will send you a woman
complete with front and back sef.
He does answer ROFL.
I no go die o.

I thank God the non virtous tanna of a woman is not Nigerian
I would have passed out if any Nigerian woman would think in such twisted fashion.
Akata no dey surprise me.
I hate to generalise but
They are capable of anything

Akata is a term used to describe Nigerians living abroad, ne?

so are afro-americans Akatas? Or is babyosisi the very thing she claims is 'capable of anything'

+osisi are u capable of anything?

(debosky's ikebe remark caused a momentary flash of hardcore porn to appear in this poor man's cerebral cortex, chei. dis life ooooo)
