Been together for 3yrs and still going stronger by the minute. When we get married, i'll throw a mini party for NLanders because we met right here!

@Whitelexi, that's cool.
I'll really like to know how many couples met on Nairaland lol.

Nia:

I hope and wish I never get a divorce. My parents have a wonderful marriage and I hope I have the same. When I was younger I used to find this really annoying and sometimes I still do, cause they act like they just got married or something even though they been married for gazzillion years. These days, I pay attention to them though, to try and find out what makes the marriage works and hopefully, I too can have a long-lasting union like that. (So far i've concluded that humor and the ability to laugh at themselves and at difficult situations and even dumb things is a key ingredient in their union). Also, maintaning a good level of trust and respect between each other.

Wow! I loff this part of your post.

don jazzie:

how about this topic" how do ladies feel gettin married to a man less succesful @ their status"

Feel free to start the topic and we'll surely reply.

I see. Thanks for the info.

Orikinla:

The most popular Nigerian blog is Sokari Ekine's Black Looks http://www.blacklooks.org

Yeah but is it anywhere near any of these sites listed above?

Hmm well is there any Nigerian blog as popular as any of these?

Nothing wrong in buying gifts for the one you love. Just make sure it's reciprocal i.e. not only you doing the giving giving all the time!

White lady:

White lady is 18 years older than her nephew, Dean. In ten years time, she will be twice his age. How old is White lady?

We did this in JSS2
Let x = Dean's age and y = White Lady's age
y = 18+x
y+10 = 2(10+x)
y+10 = 20 + 2x
substitute 18+x for y in equation 2
18+x+10 = 20 + 2x
28+x = 20 + 2x
28-20 = 2x-x
x=8
Therefore Dean is 8 years old and White Lady is 26 years old

goodguy:

To round off my talk, in defence of my past 'unseriousness', I will like you to know that I was a year older just 9 days ago.

Happy Belated Birthday!!! _{You didn't tell us on Nairaland.}

Thanks. I do understand what you are saying too. I do.

retro:

Erm, truck pushers in Nigeria are those who put trash in their trucks and recycle it, right? If I'm right, I'll continue.

I thought you knew because you cited the example. Anyway, you are right.

retro:

Now, how's a hardworking mother not intelligent? That's something I'll love to know.

My point here is that a hardworking mother is not automatically or necessarily intelligent.

Now do you agree that you sometimes wash plates, clean, etc. and your mind won't even be there? You would be on a manual work yet your mind is elsewhere. That's not intelligence, intelligence involves the mind. It tasks the mind.

From dictionary, Intelligence "the capacity for thought and reason especially to a high degree."

Being able to scrub the floor, wash, push truck etc. is a manual skill, it involves more of the hands(or legs) and less of the brain. Intelligence (intellectual reasoning) involves the mind and brain. Not that you don't use your brain to wash, clean, push truck but you use very little of it. You can't be said to be intelligent when you are only using little of your brain. I would have loved to tell you how the brain itself works in these things but let's save the story for Jesus.

Hope I was clear enough?

retro:

You need brains to be a truck pusher. Why is intelligence always associated with reading and writing?

No, it's not associated with reading and writing, it's associated with reasoning. When you are pushing a truck you are simply exerting force, energy, work - moving an object from point A to B. Of course, there is the natural intuition/instinct that helps you to know where to move the truck from and to, it does not need any intellectual reasoning.
So instinct is all a truck pusher needs. The higher level is intellectual reasoning.
In short, Brain is different from Power and there's my native proverb that says "Brain is better than Power".

diddy4:

a woman taking care of kids and working a full time job doesnt make her intelligent. no, it makes her hardworking.

Diddy was very correct. @Retro, you can't equate being intelligent with being hardworking. They are two different things. Brain is not the same as Power.

WesleyanA:

so maybe you should visit a western forum and you might see an increasing female contribution to "serious" threads.

According to Seun, 60% of Nairaland members are based abroad. So what's your point?

Actually I would say my posts are more than yours in those so-called serious threads e.g. Technology, Business. But since you said you are speaking in general terms, I take a bow out.

goodguy:

Take Nairaland for example; no particular gender is restricted to any board at all. But then, all serious-minded boards are usually occupied by the males more.

Ouch! That was harsh but true lol.

Like Wesley said, things are changing. In my former school, we females in my class outnumbered the males! That was Medicine. It was actually a record because it had never happened before.
I think it's only engineering that females are yet to really break into. For example, we are only 5 in my present class.

goodguy:

However, since strength (in all ramifications) is usually possessed more by a man.

Please back up your claim. How is strength in all ramifications usually possessed more by men? As far as I am concerned, it's only physical strength you men possess more than some (not even all) women, this doesn't count much anyway.
Is it Strength of Character?
Strength of reasoning?
Strength of will?
Strength of excellence?
Emotional Strength? (hmm maybe you are right about this one )

or is it Shear Strength, Tensile strength, compressive strength, strength of materials (just pulling your legs here ).

Please clarify the strengths you men possess more than women with good back-ups.

Afeni:

Seun, it's ironic that you, out of all people, would comment about unattractiveness based on low opinion of self. Of course, you are the same Seun that feels that nothing is worth dieing for. The same Seun that does not believe in loss of life for the betterment of tomorrow. If all Africans were like you, we would still be in colonies. Your views are the most disgusting and hideous thing I have ever come across. My stomach turns in disgust every time I watch you attempt to rationalize your views which I can only describe as whoring to the highest level. Whoring for the preservation of life. Lets not forget where we stand before we go about criticizing the opinions of others.

Show your courage, my friend. Don't delete this post.

On my thread? Vegetable Kingdom!
This is offtopic and reeks of personal grudges. And you don't want it deleted? It sure is going to be deleted or what do you expect? It's just like slapping someone and expecting him/her to look on like a dummy without taking any actions, especially when the issue DID NOT concern you in the first place before you jumped in.

Ok that was so funny. Lol

I don't like it all. It does my head in although I can endure it.

4th - 6th yr was still in Fajuyi, we had special rooms then so we didn't need to go
to Moremi, they were only too happy to come to us!

@Shagari2, were you a Medical Student? Sure yes, I don't even need to ask. What years were you in Ife? I was also a Medical Student before leaving. I might just know you, you know. Greatest IFUMSITES!
