ochongonoko: Nah... Safari, I disagree on this 100%. How can you say that people's attitude doesn't have anything to do with their upbringing or broken homes?. Seriously?.. C'mon saf, that aint right.


I'm a christain cos of my upbringing, if I was brought up in an islamic home, I'd have been a moslem by now(what I meant is that my religion is based on my upbringing.).

50cent mum's is a drug lord and 50 carried on after him

Jay-z was raised in a drug community and he ended up pushing drug till he started singing


I can go on and on with my examples. Even people's enviroment affect them when they're full grown adult much less upbringing. An example is the nigerian terrorist, micheal who killed a briton last two months . He's a christain but got changed to radical islamism when he was jailed with radicalist.


Not everybody that comes from bad upbringing turns out good. How many children of drug lords, thieves, turn out good?. Not all. So bev is showing her bad upbringing on BBA and I'm not suprised but I'm only angry cos she's doing it on live TV and at age 21, she'd have known better.

I ve heard u give this example before but its shallow(sorry 2 say). Wat I would say is every experience can shape who u turn out to be. But u ultimately decide how it should shape u. ie. one can be a qualified graduate in a country where there re no jobs & the leaders re so corrupt; his joblessness might not be a fault of his but the corrupt leaders his country has. So with ur theory now, re u going 2justify the graduate becoming an armed robber, a millitant, or a terrorist(boko haram) just b'cos the leaders have been corrupt & did not provide jobs 4 those qualified. I ve seen people dat against these odds choose 2do somtin positive thru entrepreneural initiatives & ultimately affect their society in d ryt way. Two wrongs has never in d history of human existence made anytin ryt. People ve also been born xtians/muslims & some decide 2 change their religious status when they re reasonable enough 2 decide wat is ultimately d ryt choice. Some even decide dat religion as a whole is a worthless venture. I guess wat I am saying is we 're individually responsible 4 our choices, let's stop making excuses.

safarigirl: Even tho I liked ur comment allow me to disagree with u.
Nobody's attitude has anything to do with upbringing, broken homes and age.
I gave an example intially.
Comparing bev n dillish.
Dillish also has a junkie as her mother..who she doesn't speak to.
Doesn't know who are father is.
Had to hustle for her 4 siblings who all have different fathers 4rm an early age becos her mother doesn't care if they die or not.

Isn't she 22...yet she turned out decent.

There are people from broken homes who have bad upbringing...yet they turned out to be responsible.
And there are people who have all the opportunities in life and the best upbringing coupled with good parents..yet they turned out to be prostitutes and armed robbers.
So what is beverly's excuse...cos I don't buy this reason.
Besides I have friends who are 21..and they are very smart and wise...some have even been thru worse but turned out decent.
Age doesn't portray maturity..some 18 year olds are even more mature than bev in character.
Let's not even start giving excuses

I like u safari gal. Ur comments re on point bar the 1 u said beverly ought to ve supported elikem cos they re 4rm WA. (She didn't need 2support any1 since she didn't kno wat was goin on.)

safarigirl: I'd rather be Melvin's lap dog than Beverly's Aunty.
Are u the Aunty whose husband impregnated the house help cos she couldn't get pregnant? Or the one who she used to make cry?

DAMN!

I need to confirm this, I heard Big brother asked Annabel to check if she is wearing her bra correctly. Some1 confirm pls.

This Oneza couple sef. Even in a play, they get 2 be with each oda, na wao!

Jazz is GOOD

Will som1 pls shoot o'neal.

Sulu to Beverly "you will never find a man" LWKM

JJ is a natural. Really impressed so far.

Na wao for dis Angelo knocking o. (Kuf kuf kuf)

nkwako: So because Melvin is a Nigerian u Fink he is d finest...omase oooo

Who be this? U finally got ur 15secs of fame, now run along.

safarigirl: actually there was Kevin and Nkenna....Nkenna was like Bev, the talkative whose gist bordered on exaggerations and ridiculousness and even lies.

Bev is even lucky she's got someone as nice as Melvin, I remember vividly that Kevin used to call Nkenna out on her lies, yet this same Nkenna would go out of her way to convince people not to nominate 'her people' despite all of this. Kev wasn't even as nice to Nkenna as Mel is to Bev, yet the ungrateful chic doesn't fail to pass up on an opportunity to codedly run the guy down

Then someone will still come and tell me " if not that she was female...." Bullshayt! Even with Vina and Karen all of you conveniently forget that the main reason most Nigerians disliked Vina were cos of the following:

- She was throwing herself at Lomwe who already confessed to liking her friend, Hanni

- She was forming Britico up and down (complete with the name and accent, we even accused her of repping Britain)

- She used EVERY opportunity she got to run down Karen (saying stuff like 'that's not how my people act') something like what Bev is doing right now

- Her FANS were like her, running down Karen EVERY time (like what Bev's fans are doing to Melvin currently)

- Worst of all, she claimed she couldn't speak pidgin, and NEVER attempted to speak it the entire 91 days. This in it's self was a crime.

So before anybody shouts "if Melvin was a girl..." I insist that if Melvin was female, we would still prefer him over Bev and the female Melvin would be NOTHING like Vina.

Duly noted dear,thanks. Every other point remains valid though. On point.

THE AMAKA: @geez prince

Even if Melvin and Beverly switched personalities Nigeria would still vote for Melvin. Even if you give Beverly a Dillish or Maria like personality, they will still pick Melvin for one major reason, HE IS A MALE.
We all know men have the upperhand in this game.
That's the truth of the matter.

Come, see pls stop dis campaign wey no get head 4 here abeg. If people love Melvin, am sure its 'cos he has given dem a reason ie. (Being there 4friends, not backstabbing, not gossipping, even putting himself in harms way 2protect friends). Beverly as u & I know has been d complete opposite so if ppl don't like her then its only b'cos she doesn't deserve it, simple. U re tryin 2 create unnecessary animosity of gender inequality which isn't fair. This is d first time(stand to be corrected) dat 9ja has sent 2ppl of d opposite sex into bba so u can't say 4sure dat ppl like Melvin cos he is male. Truthfully, d guy deserves all d love he gets.

kgr28: tltltltltltltltltltltltltltl. Last time Melvin survived, he got sympathy votes, thats that nothing else. $till I say Bev is way better that Melvin.

Hahaha(laffin in zulu) Now tell me which country in their ryt state of mind wud give their votes to beverly. I can't even think of reason. Come on, sister is not even sure of Nigerias vote talk less of oda countries.

Pokello - Feza never liked me 4rm day1, I was competition 4her & she must be happy I am out now.

Pokello Finally!

physise: sent,note:only works on 128k or use d old method i gave u dat one still dey work

Here is mine, alphadenen@gmail.com thanks.

ItsModella: And the last time I checked, I wasn't talking to you or anybody not interested in Ebuka or Gideon. If you're not interested, you could have closed your eyes and moved on to the next post. The comment box is mine and I'll comment however damn way I choose to. Deal with it.

Updates updates updates all the time. How many updates have we received on this thread today? Why don't you be the first to update us rather than screaming updates?

Na wao 2u o madam. U re derailing the thread & when som1 tries 2correct u, see d way u responded. Y can't u act mature & accept dat u re doing d wrong tin. Its not everytin dat is about shouting. And its certainly not by force 2comment online everyday.

Kai, 4me sha, e don tey. Lyk 3yrs or more. No need 4dat kind of sufferhead again.

calebo101: Now i know most people i have been interacting with on Nairaland are kids. I am so sorry to all those i exchanged words with, to the children i have been rude to i tender my apologies. How was i to know many of you are still kids? I though there was an age limit or so here. So sorry. Nairaland keeps dwindling to lower levels every passing day. Someone please come up with something better so Seun can sit up. All those computer geeks for mouth please create a competition and end Nairaland's monopoly. The market is ripe.

People pls, stop hating. The guy is cute & he made an assertion about himself & nairaland which he could be right or wrong(of course he is cos I am here), but that doesn't mean u should call him a kid or ask for his JAMB scores. If u feel he is wrong & u can post ur pix. If u also don't like the thread, u can also ignore, no be by force to comment.

RuuDie: There is no such thing as a commitment-shy, unromantic and emotionally unavailable person. You are simply misunderstood because you just do not conform with what some people have come to accept as "norm".

I do not see this as a problem. For I cannot give what I do not have... you are you; and you can only "tweak" yourself a little bit to get accepted but ultimately your true self shines through.

How I get by? I let you know straight-up the kind of baggages I bear; if you can deal with it, fine! If you can't, there is no use trying!

Oh, one last thing... you have to grow very thick skin!

you re so on point man.

@databoy I am interested & I am always online though mostly on my blackberry on which I currently don't use skype. plus I am very good at WORD, EXCEL, POWERPOINT etc. Mail me alphaddenen@gmail.com

Segun agagu: If u are in nigeria. U can't watch youtube videos with mtn,etisalat, but u can watch with zain and glo

PLS don't misinform people on wat u don't know. @ OP. Go to d site map of d youtube website & change d view to desktop. U should b able to watch even without being charged. If its too cumbersome 4 u, u can download d video of ur choice and watch, copy the link of d video when in desktop view and paste on dis website (savefrom.net) click on download and save using d mp4360p resolution so it can play on ur phone & u r good.

Bold 5 has a wider screen,it also has a 1.2g ram compared to bold 6 1g ram. Both have 5mp cameras but bold 6 has autofocus which is lacking on bold5. Bold 5 can record hd videos while bold 6 records vga videos.Both phones come with 8gig internal memory. Bold 5 has a crashing bug & may hang but bold 6 has no issue. Over all, I think bold 6 represents better value for money.

Let me calm all of your nerves with this funny but embarrassing video where a comptroller of NScDC does not his organizations website. Its a pity. Here is the link.

or

Dimples 316: Ok I hear you, and am glad to see you didn't take this wrong the way. I was almost afraid your come back/response would be really harsh & insultive.

I don't think or believe that you were once ugly and then turned beautiful. You probably have always been beautiful but didn't realise it for yourself till now. You know; that ugly duckling turns into a swan story is just a fairy tale. But am not in your shoe so I can't say.

Listen everyone has a good & bad side to them, and we have to be willing to accept both sides of people. Easier said than done, I know but we can try. Well I would like to know this fine chic with few friends in the hopes that we can build a sincere friendship if you have no objections. Pls this is not a lesbian thing ooo, am really into guys

I lov u already, so knowledgable.
