Dont live in the U.S but I visit once in a while. When I was about 12 or so my family went to this 'all-you-can-eat' place and I went to get some ice cream from the ice-cream dispenser. After 10 minutes of staring at the 10 plus knobs on the machine and using style to look round for a waitress to help, me I went ahead and began dispensing. So I waited for the ice cream to come out and I kept waiting. Ah ah nothing, so I tried another knob. By this time I was beginning to feel foolish so I went back to our table to ask my mum what was wrong with the machine. On arriving at the table my mum pointed in the direction of the machine. To my horror I saw a large puddle of ice cream on the floor and a restaurant full of oyinbos staring at me in shock,

I dont think I've experienced any other major embarrassment but there have been several lessons learnt in the U.S mehn, That's were I learnt about in-sink-erators, pizza cutters, nite light, the list goes on o.

schooling in the U.K is not the be all and end all. Depend what you really want in life, job security or financial freedom,

I attend uni in the most expensive part of London and trust me student life here is no joke. To do a part time job and study is NOT feasible in certain universities and on certain courses, trust me, If you can get ADEQUATE funding for you time in the U.K, the uni offer would probably be a useful addition to your education. I dont know what someone was saying about 200 pounds a month accommodation, depends where you live/study I guess but where I am halls of residence is NO less than 500 pounds a month (and that is if you are sharing). Minimum you will need for food every week as a student is 30-40 pounds. If you need more advice on costs etc I could give you.

Basically, you need to determine how important the degree abroad is to your life. If it is important pursue it but you MUST come up with a realistic budget for your expenses before stepping foot out of Nigeria, my own opinion,

Wondering if I am the only who gets annoyed every time i am told by B.A staff to go into this nasty little luggage weigh-in room reserved 'specially' for Nigerians to weigh their luggage before the actual check-in desk? I find it degrading and insulting. I don't care if Nigerians are notorious for excess luggage. it gives no one the right to discriminate me because I am traveling to Lagos, aaarrrggghhhhh

lol, While it is true that alot of Nigerians visiting naij from yankee, jand etc like to pose, you have to consider the fact that (at least for those who actually live abroad) they buy their clothes abroad and you can ALWAYS differentiate between made in Jand clothes and made in Abba clothes

Also to be honest I find that alot of youths (i didnt say most or all!)that live in Naij pose far more than those who live abroad and visit. My brotha and I just laugh when we see ppl 'baffing' up to go to the Palms That stuff is FUNNY. i def dont baff up 2 go 2 Vue cinema or Odeon,

hmmn u'd b surprised

hmmn u'd b surprised

happy wood working o Sweet T May u reap the fruit of your labours

As for pervert, u r NOT serious, ajepako indeed i am a posh princess

@ Omo Ibo lmao suya knife, I haven't been that desperate (yet). Also I think shaving ur bits can lead to nasty bumps and the stubble growth that itches for dayz, The itch is not worth it o, I know , I believe waxing is the way to go ALL the time, depilatory cream is my plan B for when i is broke.Waxing in jand can bleed one's pocket dry and waxing in Naij, well I need someone 2 point me in the direction of a GOOD salon, DIY and waxing combined = extra pain

plus wateva u chose 2 do with your partner (guyz and girlz!) rememba that at the end of the day the person still has to find you sexually appealing one way or the other,

LOL this thread has been entertaining. I see people's points. I am not married (yet) but I am in a long term relationship. I must admit I can come across as snobbish and posh and let me not lie if nature calls (numero 2) I will run to a toilet far from where my bf is and attend to my bidness. But I have come to accept the fact that you cant hide foreva. If my bf (b4 or after marriage) is sick and puking or bleeding or whateva therz nothing I wudnt do for him no matter how digusting it may seem because I love him as a soul b4 I love his looks etc and I would like to know he would do the same 4 me.

The farting issue I believe comes with time. You need to be able to laugh off stuff like that. If you fart and your partner is angry about it (as opposed to embarassed, stunned or in fits of laughter) you should see that as a red flag. I can def fart in front of my mum, brother, close friends and cousins- NO qualms whatsoever, in fact I can torment them with it because we know ourselves. In public, well, if no one wud know why give myself tummy upset, ?

Tampon, numba 2 and d likes, as far as im concerned it is pointless to flash these 'activities' in your partner's face. But if push comes to shove and he has to see you do it, then the dude should suck it up. Howeva, I wud keep those things on the down low as much as possible, hehehe

@ PERVET9 hairy where if not down below? Underarms? eeewwwww

@Poster

If you talking about the spot that i think you are thinking then i want a freaking Thick forest. Grin


@ Sweet T, lol, on yourself or on your partner?

My previous question was for the poster

Just curious, y is your relationship with this girl sex-free when you have cheated with other girls? Or is your definition of cheating different? No disrespect just a little at sea on this one,

I tend to go for the lean cut type ( my boyfriend fits that bill). No ridiculously bulging muscles pls, no fat bottoms, not too tall and lanky nor short and stumpy. Between 5'11 and 6'4 is cool,

The section to put this in is tricky because the question covers culture, health, fashion, romance and sexuality. I still want to know what people think particularly those who live mostly in Nigeria.

@ Omo Ibo and HR hotness, I feel u on those points. I am usually in Lagos for 3 months of summer and have resulted to waxing myself (ouch!) when push come to shove! I tell you it can be unpleasant,

This is for guys and ladies. Honestly speaking does the hairiness of your partner bother you especially in their nether regions? Is natural and free the way to go? Would you rather they were neat and trimmed, totally devoid of hair or do you have a thing for the brazillian?

Hi Everyone,

I'm new to Nairaland so I hope I am posting in the correct section!

I am well exposed to both Western and Nigerian cultures and have adopted the western approach of minimizing body hair all over. In fact if I had my way, i would only have hair on my head, eyebrows and 'landing strip .' What is your opinion on body hair on both sexes? Is is based on personal or hygiene preferences and can Nigerians living in Nigeria ever fully embrace a 'body hair removing' culture?

Hi like the previous poster im lost and i dont know how to start a new thread. I have read the help section but there is no 'post new thread' button on any sections I want to post in? Pls Help!!!
