remecy: Culture is a way of life for different people and as such what is good for the goose in your culture might not be good for same goose in mine.
What is the craziest fetish but true fact you have ever seen or heard about a culture, people or state,within or outside Nigeria......
1) in Delta, if you kill a monitor lizard, you bury just like you bury human being.
2) in Edo, Owan, if a woman cheats on her hubby and he is aware and still sleeps with her or shred uses her boyfriend money cook for him,the hubby will die and her children falls sick.
Lets hear yours............

boron10: So Nigeria embassy can actually deny someone visa? Like seriously, does this man require a visa before visiting naija? With the degree of our border's porosity, i believe the most sensible thing he should have done is to apply for Niger rep, benin rep or cameroun visa. And then take a bus from any of these countries to wherever he wants to go in nigeria.

He does not even need a passport to come here. Naija is the easiest country in the world to visit.

soye35: pls what biz can i start with 500k ? need genuine advice asap.

segunn20: 1)My gut feelings and my faith tell me that until God shuts a door, no human can shut it.


2)Corruption, the greatest single bane of our society today.


3)I am a black man inside and outside and you are white men on the outside, but inside, you are Africans like me.

4)I want to take this opportunity to acknowledge that our foreign friends are welcome to join in our endeavor to develop the resources of our country.

5)Nigeria has no business with poverty. With our human and material resources, we shall strive to eradicate poverty from our
country.

6)Pope John Paul II not only visited Nigeria twice but stood by the country in its fight against dictatorship and injustice.

7)What the oil producer gets paid is about 16 percent. The majority of it is tax, which in fairness to the government of this country they have accepted and admitted.

I will not say the fact that there are no European Union observers at an election means that it will not be fair and free.

9)Let me make a solemn pledge before all of you, before the whole world and before God, that I will devote all my energy and all I possess in my power to serve the people of Nigeria and humanity.

10)My joy knows no bounds... I will devote all my energy and all the powers available to me to the service of Nigeria and humanity.

11)Unfortunately, the true force which propels our endless political disputes, our constant struggles for political advantage, is often not our burning concern for democracy, it is often of our dedication to the principle of the rule of law.

12)We will as soon as possible reexamine our laws and policies and eliminate all obstacles to genuine investment.

13)We will work to bring an element of stability to the price of oil.

pope732901: I've been with this girl for about six months. She is actually everything I looked for in a girl - gentle, lovely, igbo, intelligent, has a lovely diction, excellently dressed, neat, and rubs my back right.

But she is not fun to be with! She is intelligent, and gets very good grades at school.

But she does not say intelligent things! She only thinks about boring things, and has no interest in any half way intellectual discussion. Her favorite activity is just staying at home and lying in bed or watching Nollywood movies. I feel like we never really say or do anything worthwhile.

Also, we never do anything really fun together, because of her lethargy. I like doing things like running, jogging,  climbing, going through bars, visiting weird stuff, trying new things but with her, her lethargy just infects me and all I want to do is chill and watch TV.
@ Poster, if you truly love her and hope to marry her, she will be a great wife i suppose. All you need do is compliment her and teach her gradually. It may be that she grew up under a very disciplinarian parent or an academic who like subjecting children to indoor. You need to expose her, gradually take her to the peak of dating and outing. Get her to know a lot of social life and catching fun... going to cinemas, beaches, restaurants, comedy shows etc. I think is an introvert and a reserved one for that matter. My wife use to be like that before I got married to her. She never attended social events, games, etc. Someone counseled us and I started with going to eateries, shows, drinking places, fun centres and etc, I was the one who exposed her to so many attraction leisure centres across the country including flying in a commercial aircraft. The price is much, but it is worth it. Our marriage will be 9 years in April. She has become such a wonderful calm but bold personality.

And she is the type of person that wants me to always do things with her, she expects a boyfriend and girlfriend to always spend time together. Basically, she wants to be my best friend, but is not able to intellectually interest me like my usual friends do!

She is dependent, wants me to do everything in the relationship and when I ask her, all she tells me is that "You're the guy" and it just disgust me so much because I believe in two sided relationship whereby no one is to rely on the other to take a step first. If you're in the position to do anything in the relationship, just do what comes naturally and not wait for your partner.

It's a confusing situation, what could I do?

Ibook: Can you sent more pictures to okeyalberto2@icould.com

topeorekoy: Don Jazzy is being accused by a Lagos socialite Princewill Ojukwu of battery, oppression and dehumanization. Princewill alleges that he had a row with Don Jazzy at his newly opened club POP, which led to the latter ordering his thugs to beat "the life out of him."

Please note that the picture above was taken on January 7, 2013. Ojukwu still walks around in pains, cannot wear shoes and has constant migraine.




Don Jazzy sent an sms some days back apologising and asking for an account number to send money for the hospital bill, but Mr Ojukwu says;

'' Its not about the money,this could happen to anyone,it is abuse of power and needs to be checked before someone is killed all in the name of the other being a celebrity.Don Jazzy stood there pinging on his blackberry as his thugs beat me up,that is the last thing i remember before i fainted.it....''

ba7man: I still can't see what fashola is doin in Lagos, the pictures are likely photoshoped. SMH for ACN propaganda. He should pay a visit to Delta state and see the great works the Governor is doin there.

afam4eva: If there's one thing I've noticed in life, it is that people always embrace things that will benefit them. With the infiltration of western culture into Nigeria, our ladies have been mostly receptive to this culture. They embrace it and even carry it into their search for a spouse. I've heard ladies say things like "I can't marry a traditional man". Meaning that, they don't want a man who's a stickler for African tradition. I think this is just because these ladies know that African culture does not favour them so, they'll rather marry someone who has a western outlook on life.

They want a man who won't require them to cook as a typical African woman will readily do.

They want a man that will give them the kind of freedom that they desire to do whatever they want? Ask Tonto Dike.[i][/i]

They want a man that won't rule over them as the head of the family. Infact they want someone they won't submit to.

Isn't it ironic that the same ladies will want advice young people that they should respect their elders because it's part of African culture.

You can see that these ladies use and dump African culture when it suits them.
