quote by ane-marie:i second that. i've never thought of angelina as beautiful. she has full lips, so what??!!!!! aishwarya is freaking GORGEOUS, but is not the most beautiful woman in the world. agbani darego, naomi campbell are prettier. there are countless more beautiful african woman than angelina AND aishwarya. |

@ poster, i disagree. this is a stereotype that i find annoying. to be a good writer, yes, you need to be somewhat in touch with your feelings. but that is not a gender-specific trait. |

Say Your One of Them by Uwem Akpan A collection of short stories by a Nigerian Jesuit priest. this book is truly powerful. Akpan illustrates how CHILDREN are the most affected by war and strife. he describes children left behind rwanda's genocide, children separated by the christian/muslim conflicts in ethiopia and nigeria, etc. Changes by Ama Ata Aidoo Aidoo is one of the most forward African feminist/womanist. the novel is not a beautiful story but provides fabulous cultural commentary. Jagua Nana by Cyprian Ekwensi a novel from the 1970's i think? a story about the modern urbanite African woman. strong social commentary. it's incredible that a man wrote this book. Do They Hear You When You Cry by Fauziya Kassidja Kassindja's personal story describes her journey to America to flee from genital circumcision is a tear-jerker. beautiful story. this book makes me happy to be alive. |

Half of A Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is among my top 5 fav. books. it is brilliant and beautifully written. it's about biafra. as an igbo gal, i beseech all africans to read it. it's not just for igbos. this book changed by life. i've always wondered about biafra and this book helped me to reaffirm my identity, not just as an igbo but as a black african female. i LOVE this book. i shed tears reading it. I smiled reading it. novels, words, literature is supposed to impact your perspective. touch your soul. progress your journey through life. books by african novels surely do that. |

7th grade. i was like 13. i liked this tall, skinny guy. i was the biggest nerd EVER! i wore huge glasses, but tried not to wear them at school because they were so embarrassing. so, i had to squeeze my face to see the blackboard and my crush, oh gosh, he was watching me as i grotesquely scrunched my face to see to see the board. he looked at me so strangely! so embarrassing. i think he liked me becuz he was always watching me. but was too shy to speak. ahhhhh the memories |

| Christianity Etc › Re: Pre-Marital Sex Is Not Fornication by africhika(f): 6:46pm On Sep 04, 2009 |
quote from Deep Sight: Re: Pre-Marital Sex Is Not Fornicationi agree to disagree. sex isn't just for procreation. i don't think so. "none of us can have a spiritual bond with GOd because we can't have sex with him." LOL. sex isn't the only way to bond. something happens when you have intercourse. something beyond the physical. esp. btw a married couple. that's just my belief. |

Quote from Aloy Emeka: P square and co do not make cultural music. Because they are igbo doesn't make their music igbo. Same applies to Fela and Lagbaja. You people will not cease to amaze me. We can also conclude that Kanu and Okocha played igbo football and not football. Taye Taiwo and Mutiu Adepoju also played Yoruba football and not football.GBAM! |

quote from ThiefofHearts: Maybe if people would stop giving up their language in the name of trying to be more popular (ironically those who stick to their own language end up being the ones who are well known Grin) such things wouldnt be happening. Londoner, stop making this out into something that it isnt.interesting point. definitely something to think about. |
| Romance › Re: Why Do Nigerian Women Grow Fat And Ugly After Marraige? by africhika(f): 6:30pm On Sep 03, 2009 |
oh my gosh, this is hilarious. i don't think they get ugly, they do put on weight. they eat their children's leftovers. in church, i always see mothers feeding cookies and juice to their 2 year olds. when the child is finished, the mother will eat the rest. so, think of this happening after 1 child, 2 children, 3 children and so forth. |

quote by londoner: « #19 on: Today at 12:38:35 PM »don't twist my statements. i never mentioned igbo vs. yoruba music. look back at my posts. people just took it that way. i don't believe in "tribal superiority." i don't even use the word tribe. as an anthropologist and ethnomusicologist, i love music. i'm just interested in the international appeal of yoruba music over many other types of music in nigeria. i never implied that it isn't worthy of the appeal. just a casual observation. there's no need to start judging folks and making false implications. nigerians should be able to have intellectual discussions without claiming someone is being ethnically superior. |

quote by bluehorizono no no no way it's funny how non-virgins always feel they have to defend their actions and denigrate virginity. i say live and let live. i've had opportunities. guys making remarks about my backside, tiny waist, lips and all that. phony marriage proposals just so they can get what they want. rolling eyes |
| Romance › Re: Virgins' Club! by africhika(f): 3:59am On Sep 03, 2009 |
Yay!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!i'm so happy for this topic! proud virgin. 23 yrs. old. sex is soo much more than physical action. it's creates a spiritual bond. why would i waste my precious time spiritually bonding with some guy who i'm not married to? abstinence is one of several ways for me to let my husband know that i've been waiting for him and he means a lot to me. i only want to bond spiritually/emotionally/physically/purposefully/etc. with him. and i don't want any used product, either.  |
