There's no free lunch

Not even in Freetown.
@OP if your brother was going to give a stranger such money and you knew, would you say "bravo bros"? Let's be honest. I have helped without reward before and will do it again. Usually when I see a talent that might be wasted or hindered because of little money. But not everyone does.

And it does not make me better or worse than the average guy out there.

lebesgue:
So while the guy is doing all the romantic stuff, what will you be contributing to the relationship?

Nothing. Not new.

They want a superman.

Most ladies have no idea what romance is sef.

All about money usually.

Be romantic & they will be first to call you weak. SMH.

@Op ogakuna,

Is ugly versus pretty talk your new year resolution?

You started another thread today about Tontoh Dike ending up with an ugly guy.

Anyways...............

Some handsome guys are just vain and shallow.

Some "ugly" guys have a great personality.

Some pretty girls are deep and see beyond the skin.

cococandy:
Should you be worried?
Yes please.
So Nip it in the bud now. Confront her about it.
From feelings it will enter physical.

Thank you my dear. I simply like honest people.

@OP, if you won't worry seeing a lion inside your goat pen, then relax about this.

But no irrational or accusatory reaction.

I have a lady that we were once close but lost contact under difficult circumstances.

We reacquainted after a very long time. This lady is now married with 3 kids.
Ol' boy it was really emotional. Not too far from the scenario you painted.

To her hubby, he has a perfect family.

And the man trying if you ask me. He provides well for the family.

But the lady is not happy. I cannot understand why.

I have avoided this lady physically ever since.

Her insinuations have scared me into giving excuses why we cannot see.

My culture forbids doing married women.
It has been by the Grace of God.
Not easy resisting it. Not easy at all.

Pray that the guy has cultural/religious qualms about it. Otherwise, hmmmm.

Hmmmmm.......I only see a fine Fula babe.

RobinHez:
You know ...there's an evolution theory saying the african-hair is there(denser than others) to protect against the intense UV radiation from the sun.

Ok, are all black women now in temperate regions? The fact that nature first dictated it for a good reason even makes the whole fake hair more fake.
Black women just don't realise how beautiful their natural hair is. We are just too lazy to be innovative when it matters.

Don't get me started of bleached skin. Both guys n ladies this time. Akala syndrome.

including the head = 26

Kachisbarbie:
My glass isn't tinted, but sometimes when they are bored they stop me and try to convince me it's tinted.

Nor mind them. Dem just want to delay a pretty lady and have a chat.

jamex93:
So u r encouraging the act

These men are old men

I mean some one in his 50 there about

Wat do ppl gain from masturbation

I really want to know

So you mean 50 is old. Our great grand dads were still bleeping & siring kids in their 80s.

Dey dia. You will soon be 50 yourself.

They get the same pleasure others from 18 to 100 years get from it.

At least they were not defiling 11 years old kids.

BornSad:
Funny thread with funny "grammarians".



It's "I love people who know. ...." .

Happy New Year!



"I'm" or "I am" starts a sentence and not "am".

Now, don't tell me it's a shortened version cause it's simply ridiculous.

Happy New Year to you too!

Lol.

That's always the case. The more you look for the speck in your brother's eyes, the more the agbalumo trees in your own eyes get bigger and produce delicious fruits.

I Like This Post, This Means You Are A Grammarian Like Me .. I Love People Who Knows How To Use English .. Mercy Johnson Is Is A Grammarian Too !!

It can't be true that graduates don't know these things.

I make a lot of mistakes, 95% are due to being in a hurry or the typing prompts you have in smartphones.

I guess most people know.

Atmmachine:
In America, people don't look for job.
Jobs knock on their doors and beg them to come work.

I see. They are through with sub-prime mortgage, recession and Lehmann Brothers' Brouhaha.
Good to know.

Here in Sambisanistan we don't work at all. Me make knockouts as a hobby.

Nigeria has many excelleent speechwriters.

Heck, we have produced the likes of Achebe, Soyinka, Cyprian Ekwensi, Emecheta, Saro-Wiwa, Fagunwa, Abani, Helon Habila, Ben Okri, Adichie,Unuigwe and many more.

People who have their way with words.

But alas, we never get those in power, who translate words on paper into economic progress.

Alal:
you can say this cos you never had encounter with people like this. The police will collect money and release him, you can have another car, but this guy's don't cos their salaries are poor and poorly taken care of, so what do you expect. Pls what are they begging for? If it's theirs, will they accept? It will happen to you one day and you will see the truth.

Growing up, parents experienced similar stuff.
Even once with my aunt who was a senior police officer. Working directly with an AIG then.

She never abused people because she rubbed shoulders with high echelon of the police.

So I was never brought up to believe in such abuse of power.

MXrep:
It doesnt matter what ppl pray for. If he has what it takes to suceed he will but unfortunately he doent not have and when he eventually fails it should no be blamed on those who prayed for him to fail

You know some people believe in voodoo economics.

They think the wishes of opposition or opponents is what crashes an economy, not poor management and lack of sound policies and poor implementation of policies.

Soon they will be asking prayer warrior to help the economy.

The op is looking for a way to shift the blame on those who think GMB cannot manage our econonmy. And exonerate the president.

The possibility that such people might be "kwarrekt" is alien to him.

Because the handwriting is on the wall. Already.

ernie4life:
lost my mum last week Sunday, right now this new year is filled with mixed feelings, all I ask of God is strength because to be frank it's not easy, to those who travelled home to see their parents please before you leave make sure you appreciate your parents to the best of your ability because this life we are living is borrowed.

with heart filled with grieve I wish all Nairalanders HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!

Eiya. My condolences.
May God give you the fortitude.
Happy New Year!

Guys, I'm still in year 2015 here o. How does the future look like?

Happy new year!

Saw it on tv.

authority2006:
INEC has mandate to be impartial but you people decided to muddle up everything in favour of certain candidates. So, INEC is not the only stakeholder on the day of elections, you and your people are stakeholders as well. And you are expected to play your role constitutionally, responsibly and in a civilized way. Most of these nullification are from certain parts of the country. Why is that?

So you mean that if criminals do not adhere to civil responsibility to be law-abiding, the police and law enforcement bodies should be excused if they fail to tackle crime and criminals? Going by your logic, that should apply too. I wonder if your family member, irrespective of political affiliation, had lost such a case in court due to INEC's incompetence, would you be so sanguine about it?

Donpressman:
God bless your wisdom. same question have been asking for long. Maybe Inec should just get a big open field and let voters start lining up behind whoever they want to vote for.With that what you see is what you get.

9ja is all about politics. Not truth. As long as APC won presidency under Jega, he's a hero. How can we trust any election conducted by INEC with so many being nullified by the courts? Whether Taraba, Rivers, Edo, and many more over the years since 1999? We have a big problem if we cannot conduct common elections.

Hahahahahaha!

For this 9ja. Hian!

Na Mother Theresa come corrupt.

I hear.

darkid1:
Honestly if someone broke your windscreen and ran you would wish he was even locked in your bunnet...so ya all saying abuse of power should just shut up.

About the guy saying he ran because he was afraid bla bla is a lie,he is a little rascal. If you do something bad by accident, be a man and approach them responsibly, they are also humans...he acted like an animal they treated him like one...sorry case sha, i pity the airforce guy...you cant fight luck, the boy was just a lucky chap

Whatever anyone does, there are legal means to address it. Soldiers meant to protect their country should know better. What training do they even get? Gra gra training only?

They even refused pleas from the police.
Why not hand him over to the police if truly he committed a crime or did something illegal? The police will take it seriously knowing soldiers are involved.
Jungle justice should never be tolerated in a civilised society.

If somebody probably living on $2 a day ruins my car (not just windscreen), I won't bother doing anything. Waste of time.

Sounds weird, but a female friend once told me that. She says she misbehaves badly if a guy is nice.
She wants her man to beat her up. And then make love to her. That's when she really enjoys it.

A tall, pretty hour-glass girl I mean. SMH.

Chai!, life is tough & wicked now o. Anything for money.

RIP young lady.

Nice

enieme:
u know iM guessing u studied German or so. U dont know much about D language family.

No, I did not do it as a degree. I'm rather more at home dealing with diseases.

Though I studied various European languages, mostly Romance ones. But none at degree level.

I'm just interested in languages as a hobby.

Information about Germanic languages is not hard to get. If that is what you mean.
There's much known about Swedish, Norwegian, Dutch/Flemish, German, English and Danish.

enieme:
can u please list for me the languages in the in dO-European language family?

Miss, I'm not a philologist or an anthropologist.

But I will try from reading books in those subjects. Please consult experts or recommended books if you need this information for official or scholarly purposes.

I will list them with the earliest to emerge first, and the youngest last. In order of age.

(1) Anatolian: has been around since about 4200 BC. Language died/became extinct sometime between 2nd & 8th century AD (late antiquity).
(2)Tocharian: came about around 3700 BC. Now basically extinct.
(3) Germanic: by 3300 BC
(4) Italic: including Latin & subsequent Romance languages by about 3000 BC.
(5)Celtic: including Irish/Scottish Gaelic, Breton (still spoken in France by a few people), Welsh, by 3000BC
(6)Armenian by 2800BC
(7) Balto-Slavic by 2800BC
(8]Hellenic/Greek by 2500BC
(9)Indo-Iranian by 2200BC
(10) Albanian by 14th century AD

Quite surprising because one would expect Indo-Iranian and Hellenic languages to be older than say Germanic or Italic. Even Celtic would be presumed older than Germanic. But alas, Germanic is the oldest living Indo-European language sub-group.

Welch eine ueberraschung!

Abeg, Brown go bring our children come home. We nor dey born throway (apologies to Dame Patience ).

If na efo riro, ewedu, amala, yam abi na eba, make dem come follow chop.

RexKexMilann:
100% True.


Number 2 Especially.

Why will a Girl want a Man that Is "Cool & Caring" BUT when That man Comes He Gets the Tag; "He Is not "Manly"?.


& Girls should Stop "Claiming" That they want a "God-Fearing" Man Because they "apparently" Don't.

How many of the girls are even God-fearing sef?
It's just a trend and en vogue now.

If in 20 years, "God-fearing" is perceived as old-fashioned and naff, they will start writing/saying "spiritual" and other such things. Just follow the history of the West and see how the change has been. 9ja is just only socially behind by about 100 to 150 years, never mind smartphones, consumerism and pretence at sophistication.

cowleg:
Abomination Abomination Abomination
