Politics / Re: Stop Moaning... Petrol Is 326.21 Naira a litre in the UK! by annekix(m): 12:27am On Jan 03, 2012
TROLL ALERT!!!!!!

check the posters previous posts, he is notorious for such ignorant and tastless anti- nigeria posts, he just wants to spark an argument and get reactions from u guys.

Its sad the poster is ignorant to the matters and economics , comparing an african economy to the Uk?, Seriously?

even a 5 year old knows there is something wrong with that picture!,  shocked

Ignorance is truly a disease!, honestly your parents should have worn protection at least there woulda been one less dumbass on the planet.

Jeeeeeeez! undecided

lol, Yes of course i know moira is old, but her younger version (the alternate side of her that appears to seduce men) that version is eye candy for us male viewers. cool

Yea i know, but the fact dat every one died in this season doesnt mean the show will stop,

It could go either of the two ways below:

A) The second season would probably draw a fresh new cast of actors and actresses and new neighbours possibly another troubled family with issues and drama that would have the house haunt them with the new ghostly Additions of Violet and Co. So effectively spirits in the house would be split in two, the Good and the Evil spirits. probably attacking and defending the new house inhabitats. Also i predict more flash backs to the past to uncover the origins of Tates "issues" We'll just have to wait and see.

Oh, and the "Anti christ" supposed to have been born by violets mum, now i have no idea how that is gonna be fixed in but , i guess we will find out.

B) The show could do a "Spartacus: Blood and sand" route, by that i mean , the season two could be a prequel and go back to the past before Violet and her family moved in and might just focus on one of the families, i predict Tates family, so we the viewers would see how The younger tate came to be the psycho of today, life in high school growing up in the house,  but its really unlikely though.



"Totally irrelevant to the post" >> i know i earlier said American horror storry was great but Game of Thrones is another great new show of 2011. grin
TV/Movies / Re: American Horror Story Thread Share Your Thoughts Predictions Questions by annekix(m): 12:26am On Dec 22, 2011
this is the best show of this year, its so different , dark and twisted, unique characters and fabulous acting.

I have to say TATE has become my most hated character , he's a complete psycho but i have to admit he can seem somewhat likable atimes despite his psychotic, murderous lapses.


"Spolier alert"

i always knew violet was dead , i thought something was fishy when she stopped going to school,

as for tate, i have a feeling that he was possesed by an entity (probably the abortion surgeons dead monster baby?) that drove him to massacare those kids, Desecrating violets mum, killing the gay couple ( Tate should win an award for most body counts) but like i say, its just a feeling, this we will probably find out later in the final episode.

but as for a prediction on the series finale,

Lets be honest do you really see a happy ending from this show?,Nah, ,  Its destined to go really really bad. for goodness sake violets dad and Constance are the only two alive in the show, i see violets dad commiting suicide to join his dead family or getting killed. AND then a new season will begin next year 2012 with a whole new family moving into the haunted house.


I cant wait , its really one of the best  TV series ever and to think it came from the guys who directed GLEE.


my best character is the Moira the Sexy Maid,

Tates mum "Constance" is the best actress in the whole series

Politics / Re: I Hate Nigeria With A Passion by annekix(m): 2:53am On Mar 19, 2011
if you thought getting stopped for having a laptop was bad,

My people i remember when i was stopped by the cops for having Past exam question papers in university when i was in Naija, " i swear this is true!"

it seemed like i was in a badly directed home video shocked shocked shocked

i spent 15 mins trying to explain what past question papers were to this slowpoke of a police officer who said that the questions must be "expo", and the annoying thing was i had an exam that afternoon and the guy said i should follow him to the station " and we all know what that leads to,


I can remember our conversation vividly:

Me: Ahn ahn, officer this is not expo, they are past questions that were set in 1999 that im using to practice for my exams, Cant you see the date?, its on the paper na?!?

Officer: Na lie, na expo be dis,, u dey follow us go station

I demanded to speak to his superior and when i told him about the issue he burst out laughing "even he knew it was ridiculous" he told me to go, the officer who stopped me sulkily gave me back my papers and allowed me leave

now its either he was an illiterate
or
he was obviously looking for some ridiculous reason to extort me cuz i was a lag student.

or even both,

Is it until the cops start asking for receipts for purchased Condoms that we know there is a problem with the police?,
.i cant believe they still do that crap.

i also remember when they used to drive down the streets in yellow danfo buses in thier "operation kidnap and extort spree"

yes i did go Omg when i Watched the videolink   ( you cant read a video Einstein)

No i dont understand "Nigerian English", the last time i checked it was just English, which is the language i understand,
you accused me of beign in my foundation year earlier and i cleared that up and told you my actual level of study, yet your still having a go at me??, Did i say masters was anything special?, as if i dont already know there's no big deal in getting one, 

any ways,, at least im happy u've accepted your negative attitude ,  people have normal hobbies like  playing chess,riding a bike, watching football but you choose to be negative as a sport, and call it a hobby?,  wonderful, u truly need Jesus in your life., lol

well,for this reason i can only ask you to kindly refrain from going to the romance section plsssssssssssssssss
before you spread your negativity there in your quest for romance " you dey find guy who you go send go the psychiatric ward with all this your verbal assassination attempts abi?" God forbid, ! grin

you can try goin to the Religious section
Like R kelly sang " heaven i need a hug",  it looks like you need a hug to free you from all that negativity.
Though art in need of Jesus,  he will set u free!

or 

if your scared of bursting in to flames by spontaneous combustion like a vampire in the sun by visiting the religous section.

you could try the Health section

Where You could read some threads on various psychological disorders and place where you fit in, and get the much needed therapy you should be getting and if your lucky enough you could get some free medication prescriptions, yaaaay!

Unfortunately there's no childrens section, eya too bad.


also whats this crap about

is nothing to omg and shout yahoooooooo o o o liken ( wat is that guy's name that sang yahoozee, pls remind me in your next reply) about , because of that oyibo wey speak yoruba
a dry dust of hammertan blew over me as i read this your statement,

look its not by force to be funny.leave that to the likes of Basket mout[/b]h .Just because you "literally" "live up to his name" doesnt mean you can be funny like he is, [b]Chainsaw mouth would be a name that would fit you better cuz your mouth seems like it was manufactured to inflict wounds on people,  lipsrsealed

Finally about your  nursery rhyme, are you for real ?you put up a nursery rhyme for me, aaawww how cute is that?


ill leave you with this nursery rhyme

[center]A wise old owl lived in an oak
The more he saw the less he spoke
The less he spoke the more he heard.
Why can't we all be like that wise old bird?

By the way, who says im patronizing you, i was toasting you, .ahh ahh somebody cannot toast you again?, i strongly believe you should consider me on a serious note we would make a good team,  wink

Wonderful, im arguing with a Ghanian with a complex,  why u dey throw words enter my mouth now?

your filled with such negativity and whats up with all the name calling??, u see me for dream,

My dim brain"?? ,  my fore fathers, the hemisphere of my brain, Rettard?, lol all this for only me?

Look, there are much better ways to make your point without all the name calling and hostility or maybe you just lack the ability  to logically construct arguments without spewing hateful comments, maybe its your personality, maybe your a racist or maybe your racist[b] and[/b] forgot to take your medication.
what ever your problem is, i really i dont have time to argue back and forth with u seem hell bent to start a thread fight, so please reserve your hostile comments to yourself,


also from all what indications did u see to make you belive that  im in my 1st year in uni, ?, lol

This is coming from the same person who made this "Genius" comment:

so if u hear a chineese speaking calabar language or watever they speak there----your def going to[b] have an heavenly feeling-[/b]----plsssssssssssssss
really insightful, well thought and deeply constructed point you made there, please keep it up, wink

Im actually rounding up my Masters degree programme here in the uk juggling that with a proper job hun, so you and your wild assumptions need to take a chill pill,

Im a guy with a positive outlook on life, highly optimistic and always see's the bright side of things, i find all this drama amusing and have still have nothing against you, your opinions are your opinions and you have a right to express them however way u see fit, but calling me such names for no reason is one step too far,  abi did i abuse you, ? lol , ebi like that "Plsssssssssssssss" thing way i talk for my previous comment pepper you small, hee hee,

i am a lover and not a fighter ,  Therefore, i wave a white flag of truce,  cool

Any way on a more serious note:
so erm, are you like in a committed relationship or something?, seriously, we should have dinner someday and argue more about onyibo people speaking chinese and making Amala and call me more names, like play like play this thing fit lead to romance.


grin

if by any chance any one may misunderstand the Post i put up "This White Lady Speaks Yoruba Better Than Most Nigerians: Omg"


its because she apparently speaks proper yoruba, im in the UK and all my yoruba friends where stunned while we watched this in UNi and actually started clapping for the chick admitting they didnt know what a "window" was in yoruba language, Look, she merely says the Yoruba spoken these days is diluted by english, pidgin english and slang which we all know is true especially in the city, thus the reason for my post.

I jus wonder y d truth dey pain some people, vivaladiva wink
Culture / Re: This White Lady Speaks Yoruba Better Than Most Nigerians: Omg by annekix(m): 11:36am On Mar 10, 2011
@ vivaladiva, hmmmm, some ones in a bad mood today, lol

" u feel so chauffed u def wet your self-", wtf

but seriously did a white babe steal your boy friend or something?, why all the hating?, i find it amusing actually especially with all the " plssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss's u added in your post, as if one "s" wasnt enuff.



I personally would definitely appreciate if some one took the pains to learn my language " igbo" especially a person from another race, if you watch her other videos she's obviously in love with nigeria, the language the rich yoruba culture and i think its a beautiful thing,

to you its no big deal, but apparently to her it is, especially with all the negativity the Nigerian image has received of recent, if a few more foriegners were as brave as she was to see the beauty of Nigerian culture and even to the extent of learning the language the negative image would be erased of thier minds,

you obviously are myopic in seeing the big picture in this, it could surely help tourism and the Nigerian economy if more people were like her, even her university "NWU" funded a building of a study centre for them in the university of ibadan where she's studying at present.

Health / Re: Black Men And The Curse Of Shaving Bumps (ingrown Hairs): Help! by annekix(m): 1:07am On Feb 10, 2010
hey guy's, i have a theory
i think i know the cause of all the bumps and acne i've been getting,

you see normally i'm normally acne proned and used to having a few bumps here and there, but men ever since i got to the uk they seem to have gone from bad to extremely worse.

i asked my self what major change may have resulted in this?

the weather, the food?,

then it hit me, it's the water!

why?,
back in naija i used to boil water, or buy pure water bags at home

but here, i started drinking straight from the tap, ( cuz the water treatment system is on point )

but i noticed something,

i checked the electric kettle and normal kettle, and noticed white scales,

i remembered my secondary school days when we were taught about HARD water and SOFT water!

the water i've been bathing and drinking must be crystal clear pure HARD water, it's pure and clear but hard as hell!


so i looked it up on google , searched these key words--->>> - hardness of water acne - on google

and i got some results, i was shocked!

http://acnereview.biz/acne/2009/09/01/hard-water-and-acne-breakouts/

http://hubpages.com/hub/How-to-Get-Rid-of-Acne---Hard-vs-Soft-Water

http://www.makeuptalk.com/forums/f12/hard-water-causing-acne-31506.html

some scientific sturvs i gathered,
_____________________________________________________________________________
Hard Water and effects of soap and skin

Hard water is a term used to describe water with a high mineral content. It is estimated that over eighty percent of American homes are outfitted to receive such water. The most prevalent minerals in this type of water are Calcium and Magnesium. Hard water presents a number of challenges in maintaining healthy skin. The significant mineral content, for one, degrades water's ability to act as an effective solvent in removing soap from the skin. Have you ever wondered why you have trouble lathering soap in the shower? On a basic level, the soap reacts with the minerals in the water to form soap scum, instead of suds. The soap, instead of helping remove dirt and grime from your skin, creates a nice layer atop it instead. This soap scum also accumulates on your bathroom doors and fixtures.

As most of us know, soap induces a drying effect. Naturally, the longer you allow it to linger on the skin, the more it will dry it out. Hard water allows for just this. The soap scum dries the skin out nicely, aggravating it. Irritated skin is a major risk factor for acne. The unrinsed soap scum can also make its way into your pores, eventually causing breakouts. This effect is aided by taking warm showers, which open your pores.

If hard water is so damaging, why is it that we continue to use it? Hard water is not as corrosive to plumbing as is soft water. However, in exchange, homeowners are left to deal with mineral deposits, which can be just as damaging. These deposits can accumulate in piping causing a wide array of issues.

There may be ultimately a financial motive in maintaining a hard water supply. Distilling water can be an expensive and laborious process. As long as people are unaware of the potentially harmful effects of hard water, there is little reason to tamper with it. However, there is strong indication that hard water is ill-fit for skin care.
___________________________________________________________________________________


any how i think thats the main root of my problem,
even from back home in naija sef,

i just have to figure out how to soften the water be fore bathing and drinking,

i reckon going back to boiling my drinking water (or buying tesco value water, *sigh*) which is the best option

boiling my bathing water as well adding adding a lil salt,

so if you or any of your friends have been having unusual acne break outs, this may just be the problem

oh and it causes dandruff too can u imagine, ?

this could be a cool final yr project for somebody, lol,

Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Are There Jobs In Uk ? by annekix(m): 6:17pm On Feb 09, 2010
@ disguy
     and sexxy

*i also have a friend here who always loved basketball in 9ja, he came to uk for a uni course and masters joined a basket ball team in school, na so the guy turn the school kobe bryant( there were only 2 black guys on the team and he was the best), this nigga has like 900 pictures (i'm not joking) of him with white people  having fun clubbing, partying, having fun graduating and one with neyo on stage, yes, Neyo,  he organized a school event with his team mates and invited neyo , the school fell in love with him.

my guy performed with neyo on stage sha! ( this na pesin wey we dey chop olaiya amala for surulere!, lol)
you need to see this guys facebook page, i was inspired.
oh and he has over a thousand friends 70% white

er okay, okay, i guess i gotta explain myself there, lol

i know it was sorta outta point but there is a lessons to be learned there,

you see ive noticed some naija folk come to uk and still only hang out with the same nigerian's still do the same things , nigerian clubs, nigerian food, nigerian churches
(i'm not saying there is anything wrong with that o!), lol
                                               , but check it out, in the end u still have a nigerian mentality in uk and your looking for a good white collar job?
and you end up nagging and settling for less!

but check it,  your in a new land, it makes sense to make new friends with people of different races, Networking, and selling your skills  instead of scurrying getting ideas from the same group of people who have been complaining since before u got there, what good advice would dey give u, tell me?
   if u want to fly would u take advice from a penguin?

i'm sure i could get a good reference from the bible, but, er, i cant think of any hee, heeee! grin
 
Okay, lemme take Nysc for example instead.
   the purpose is to broaden your mind to other people and their culture's abi?
if you get posted to kaduna
    and only roll with your friends who speak your language eg igbo, you'll come back to lagos complaining that kaduna is hell, no job and all.

but if you mix well, learn the culture's make new hausa friends eat with them, learn to talk like them speak thier language ( without 4getting where u come from) when you are in thier midst you will surely get alot of favours (plus i heard i works wonders when your bargaining for food stuff in the market place, ladies take note, lol), eventually out of every other lagosian, they would bond with you the most, so if their is any job, contract or business they would rather give you to handle it than any other person you end up getting a good job and u fall in love with a lovely hausa wife get married and live happily ever after!, lol

like i said its a different approach for everybody,
 my friend used his charisma, charm and basket ball skills to network his way into a good job to the point he ended up having more white friends than black, ( not that thats important)he also made alot of notable achievements like bringing neyo down ( events management skill and yess i'm sure you can put that down on a C.v as an achievement),also he's still down to earth i called him and we laughed about the time at olaiya and we still flow in pigdin, lol (thats y i brought that up.

i'm not saying you should go and start stalking the white folk and forcing them to be friends o!
                                                                                                                                    ha, my hand no dey, o! grin

im jus saying you gotta ask your self what do i have to offer here?

what skills do i possess that can make me stand out and be recognised by these people?

will i come here experience every thing uk has to offer and make myself useful?

am i really an interesting person worth knowing at all?

do i deserve respect, ?

do i deserve a good job?

do i deserve to succeed in life where ever i find myself, what ever land i may be in, the uk, the states, bulgaria, whateva?

i no know about unna but as for me,

my answer to all these is yessss!


there are many opportunities for you to show what u got, the internet is a valuable tool.
make new friends regardless of race make an effort to know more about them, join voluntary programs find a chance to show your talents, wether its basket ball or accounting to singing in church

hey,  another example is the movie Avatar,  yess i know sounds ridiculous huh?, lol

jake skully going to pandora ,  and becoming a hero and a legend among a blue alien race,  he became their leader, even though he was human.

er, another example is barack obama,  i know sound more ridiculous, innit?
watch how he talks, the schools he went to his peer group and his dressing, do you notice anything?
why did the whole of america fall in love with this guy, this black guy, what's so special about him?, why did he out of every other black guy that ran for the presidential seat make it?
because the guy did his homework and he did it well.
study his biography,  regard less of his african background,  his social backgrounds,friends ( now i dont really see some one like obama sitting down with lil jon in the club, er do you?)and his ambitions took him to where he is today.
the white folks musta took a look at him and said "hmm,  he's alright",

tell me if my friend dat played basket ball for the school decides to go into politics in the university's city now, he would have equal backing from both races white , black whareva,
they would be like, "hey its that dude dat played for our uni, lets vote for him!"

anyways, maybe i didnt package the facebook example well, but i hope y'all understand what i mean now,  undecided

dont mind whoever these posters r trying to demotivate and demoralize others as if they are God,
making fun of others sad situation, and on sunday/friday they'll go to church/mosque, eh?

ignore people like these in life, every once in a while people like these will come to you and bring doubt to your heart, avoid them at all costs, folk
check out the deceptive title of the thread, does the person sound normal?

Any ways, i'm here to spread this simple message!

if you think small u'll remain small where ever you are, uk or naija.
but if you think Big, my broda , sky is the limit,
its all about being sharp,

But last last, it's all in Gods hands!,

i feel most we nigerians have an unconscious bad belle syndrome trying to put people down and make fun of them

its really sad and i think its just plain wickedness to make fun of people regardless of their situation, cuz u dont know tomorrow
i'm refering to the earlier comments and jabs made at people in the uk.


well, i worked two white collar jobs in the uk, at a financial loan office call center as a collections agent, as a customer service officer receiving inbound and making outbound to the states.

heard about the job from a friend, I dropped my Cv online, received a call and got interviewed on phone( i guess they just wanted to test my English speaking skills) they arranged for a face to face, the guy who interviewed me was a Chinese dude with a jand accent ( which i silently found hilarious), he asked me questions from my cv and even corrected a mistake made a chronological blunder he liked me told me i go the job, i started the same day  (what they call observation then was told to come in two days for a one week training),
i guess what pulled me through was i imagined it was jackie chan interviewing me so i was relaxed and surprised my self when i gave smooth confident responses, (After much practice in front on the mirror the previous day, lol)

and no,  i didnt get to serve any1 tea or wash corpses, jeez where do you get this stuff? , "na wa for una"

i came back to naija got a job in a bank ( while i was working i applied to 5 schools gained admission in 3 and settled for the most affordable one ) worked briefly in a bank resigned from the bank returned to UK for my masters program ( and its not as if my grade in university was spectacular sef, but that's another story i'll share on another thread some other time)
                                                           
so, what are you people saying?
it's culture shock and nervousness off a new environment that lead people to apply for rubbish jobs cuz they feel they cant work in a multicultural environment with different accents.

if you know what you want package yourself well, as in "well, well", because here in uk the cv format is different and u need to think carefully b4 putting it out there or else it'll end up in the recycle bin!

i have a lots of success stories of people i've come across here!

*i stayed with a friend who finished from middlesex university, worked a nine to five in an I.T firm, as a safety analyst or sumthing, he has 2 sisters one finished with a 1st class in Uel and is working as an engineer at Transport for london ( na she dey chop money pass, lol)
she came back to naija got married is now doing her masters part-time working and moved into her husbands house and God only knows how much she'll be earning when she is done, and the other one works for natwest.


*i also have a friend here who always loved basketball in 9ja, he came to uk for a uni course and masters joined a basket ball team in school, na so the guy turn the school kobe bryant( there were only 2 black guys on the team and he was the best), this nigga has like 900 pictures (i'm not joking) of him with white people having fun clubbing, partying, having fun graduating and one with neyo on stage, yes, Neyo,  he organized a school event with his team mates and invited neyo , the school fell in love with him.

my guy performed with neyo on stage sha! ( this na pesin wey we dey chop olaiya amala for surulere!, lol)
you need to see this guys facebook page, i was inspired.
oh and he has over a thousand friends 70% white

when he graduated he was recommended by the school to Abbey bank, where he's currently working, ( that's what i call Networking in the highest order from basketball winning school trophies)

*i also met a chick i went to school with in 9ja working in a Tmobile centre,

*my aunt worked for the NHS is retired and lives in her own house in uk, her kids (my cuzins) one is a boxer the other son's in shell,  (although i dont really classify them as nigerians any more cuz dem don too teeeey 4 there, the kids were born there and they all have strong jand accents, and they eat typical white food, mashed potatoes, gravy, infact they've turned to white people,  or what they call "coconuts", Black on the outside, white on the inside, lol, still love them though,  but men, gravy?, i dont think so.

and more recently my friend just got a job in the university call centre ( his job is to call Old unihull alumni and get updates on what they are currently doing at present, its part time though cuz he's doing his masters too)

whats d essence of these stories u may ask?

to let you know the only thing limiting yourself is yourself, nothing else!

Jobs are out there its figuring out how to get them

the truth is most people misbehave when they come here and have the " No matter what i aint going back" mind set, overstay their visa's get stuck and in order not to get found out settle for crappy jobs here and there, thats why u here people doing rubbish jobs, even some with valid papers set their standards low and dont apply any strategy again it's culture shock and nervousnes,

yes strategy,, cuz this jobs seeking stuff can be a war atimes!

i should write a book on this poo,

Last , Last, Na God sha, all fingers no equal, God can only take you so far you need to use the sense he gave you to make the rite decisions in life, and not get stuck.

back home o, or for uk, somalia, or for china, sef, a job is a job, and i know with Gods help and determination i will get one anywhere, no shaking.

if u choose to return to naija, no wahala, remember There iS God
if u choose to stay here in uk, no wahala, remember God dey

@ Ebonyeyes

Lmao,  i'm putting up a warning on my facebook page to my friends rite now
                  "  Dear friends, During the next 2 weeks do not be alarmed to see my face resembling that of a crazed lunatic
                    i am just trying out a new grooming tip ( i apologize for any inconveniences caused ). "

@ ruskiee & MRbrownJAY

its that clean shaved look promised by razors that deceived me in the first place and started this trouble !
I should sue gillette and david beckham, hiss, nonsense!

they should have at least put a notice on the razor pack saying:
    (The federal ministry of health warns that although product will produce a clean shave but After wards might lead to ingrown, sandpaper like bumps, especially if your are of African descent.)

has any one tried shaving powders or razorless shaving creams?

@ofokaofoki
okay, okay,
                       rite now i'm like a 70% Nneka fan , 30% Asa fan, lol
so i guess i Can be both their fans!

( Be both their fans?) <-------------------er, guys is it just me or is something wrong with this grammatical usage of English?, scratches head, ah what eva, lol grin

Any ways, i just like the way Nneka alternates the tempo of her songs like sufri sufri and heart beat

Asa's style (sorry to say, o) seems kind of monotonous and predictable atimes she's still a great artist though,

@ MRbrownJAY
Your right i think the bump nightmare started when i first shaved with a gillete razor back in Uni ( damn those gillete adverts!! angry)
ever since then it became a re-occurring thing,  cry

i wish i could go back in time and stop myself from shaving,
i'd be like:
   Noooooo!!   
         You dont know what your doing!
                     Put down the weapon razor!!!!!!

@ Ebonyeyes
er not to sound racist or any thing but would a white Gp know how to advice africanz on skin care
it's just like goin to a white barbers shop and asking for a haircut or dreadlocks they'd have the most confused looks on their faces.
thats my problem with that, lol


:@ denzel2009
hmm thats something i havent thot of i just may try that! thnx

I'm jus feeling this babe, she even made it to the David Letterman show?
damn, girl u are definitely taking a grammy home soon!

well, generally i love all types of music which includes rock, metal, what ever as long as it sounds good but nneka's style is refreshing and new,Nneka fuses afrobeat with some jazz, punk and rock flawlessly.she sounds like a mix of er,  fall out boy/nickleback and fela.

jus goes to show that music is indeed a beautiful thing! whats that smell?? hmm do i smell a grammy?, sniff, sniff, yes i do!, i do smell a grammy!

Rushes of to HMV to grab an original copy,  no more downloads!

here's her wonderful live perfomance on the famous david letterman show

Dont you just hate those ingrown hairs guys, they can be a real annoying nightmare!!!!

some ignorant person said it happens to only dirty people,  well i think thats really silly as ingrown hairs affects a large percentage of africans and leads to bumps even if you bathe ten times a day!

this is a serious and painfully distressing issue for me ( and i'm sure for most men out there) and i'm tired of it!

i mean, you want to shave but you know it'll grow back,
and if you dont shave, it'll still grow back bigger and get worse,
ARRRGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what remedies have the guys tried,
drugs, vitamins, creams, shaving and grooming tips,Prayers,voodoo (just kidding),Anything!!!! cry
Please, just drop comments on what works for you!
thanks!

TV/Movies / Blessings Mnet Face Of Africa & Dbanj: Why Oh Why Do 9ja Girls Like Forming? by annekix(m): 6:31am On Feb 02, 2010
If u've all seen the new fall in love video there was some drama caused by one of the nigerian contestants (Blessing) when she was introduced to Dbanj her fellow Nigerian countryman,she mumbled a greeting and her name and simply shrugged indifferently when she was asked to repeat herself while other contestants from other countries were clearly happy and excited to meet dbanj.

i mean the girl gave him such an ice cold reception even dbanj felt it and musta been flabbergasted,

i just checked the video online and OMG this girl has a really bad attitude, this soo proves that some 9ja girls can like to "form" unnecessarily sha, (er no offence ladies) grin

check out the vids from this link

http://www.notjustok.com/category/videos/

Argghh!!!!!!!!!!!
i jus wanted to smack the sensless girl, dissing your own country man, wtf?  , why, why?, it was so uncalled for!

very unproffesional and just plain idiotic if u ask me.


then this clip here shows the mnet face of africa crew warning her and informing her of her bad attitude.
