Do your research before posting an outrageous price, the Bold 2 UK used goes for that amount @ the computer village. Duh!!!

Dunno why some guys find it hard to do as
I do when it comes to matters like this.
When a relationship ends everything
about that relationship ends with it. No
more phone calls, delete her numbers,
delete all your emails to her, remove her from Facebook friendlist. Total erasure,
no contact. That way issues like this will
never arise. See how the husband causes
his wife unrest because of refusing to let
go.


This is the only post, i agree with here. If this had been the case, all the trash of calls and all would not even be happening. Anyways i blame the OP to have tolerated such from day 1.

Can you imagine, people rejoicing over a curfew cos its suppose to make their husbands stay home. Lols, women don't rejoice yet o! Knowing men, they'll tell you they had to stay back at the office, i.e sleep at work cos they had work to finish or they finished a meeting late, so they had to spend the night at the nearest hotel.
Interpretation: He got off work early, picked up a hoe to spend the whole night with, or he is shacked up with his concubine @ her place. Smh!
I believe GEJ has made things worse for y'll.

Hello, Nairaland, i'd like to know if anyone has used the Supreme brand of human hair weaves, i was thinking of getting the indian curl or bodywave. If you have used it, did it last? could u reuse it after washing? and pls if it wasn't good, can u give me an alternative human hair brand. Thanks

And also where can i get original Supreme in Lagos. Thanks

Ofcourse it would be a useless exercise, i can bet that NCC has had these sort of complains and they'd just shove it aside, and the people who lodged such complains would be tired of following it up. One thing is for sure they can't get away with this for long. If excessive media force i.e facebook, nairaland, twitter etc is used to get these messages across. A change might occur.

The same damn thing happened to me severally, i would never forget the one that happened to me when i subscribed to their 100MB and within an hour, i checked my data counter and saw i had used about 5MB and that night i saw no site wwas opening, then i thought to check the remaining MB and low and behold i was told i had finished my 100MB, it was amazing when all i did was open a facebook page. And just a few sites with a data compressing browser. I called them, told them exactly what had happened, the person i spoke with promised to call me back, he did and agreed it was a fault from their network and said in 24hours i'd be credited with my unused MB, for 2months now, nothing, i called them severally and i kept getting the matter has been resolved or they would open another case file. Anyways, i used them for my internet for a while and stopped using them. Now they have resorted to stealing credit, its so shameful. If u haven't experienced such, it doesnt mean others have not, i have heard of others experiencing all kinds of shameful things. What a thiefing company!

**yawn**

Oh my gosh! I wish i had seen ur post earlier, i bought one of their products and while it lightened me, it dulled my complexion, and gave me pimples allover my back and face, now i am nursing more spots i didnt ask for. These people are real fraudulent, something needs to be done about them, now i am stuck with dark knuckles on my hands and legs and an uneven skintone. My God, i''m so vexed i'm in on your campaign, those pple need to be wiped out, they know all the harm they are causing, they are so heartless and callous. NAFDAC must surely investigate them.

Thanks

Hello, i always see this Perfect herbal
advertisement in City people magazine, a soft sell. I want to know if their products really work as they claim to be herbal, i have a lot of spots on my face and back that i'd like to get rid off.
Pls let me know if anyone has used their product, which one and if it worked.
Thank.

@Ileke- Idi, abi o!
@Excanny, you can keep on with ur investigations, ur stress. Point is right from the time the yorubas had always valued education, thanks to Mentors like Awolowo who imbibed it into the yoruba people and made it compulsory then, he even offered free education and scholarships. Definately the universities then had those ekiti professors lols, if u do the maths then ul know the article was simply stating a fact. Apart from having professors, a household most definitely had someone in the family who was studying abroad.
Abi ileke- idi, isn't it true. Don't mind all these Okoro people, when our leaders were enlightening us, what were their leaders doing?

@Ileke Idi, gosh! A hug for you, you so nailed that shitty okoro dude. Lols, you see why i say education is really essential, even to an educated dude like excanny(just assuming, lols, cos the only thing he might be able to do is copy and paste and post a few links,) If he took his time to read thru his post properly he'd see that the educational state of Ekiti was being looked upon and taken seriously, and scholarships were going to be given out to encourage and achieve the dwindling educational glory of the state. Talk of an educated leader.

Mr Okoro(s), while your leaders have never for once bothered about the state of education in ur state, other are working on improving theirs. It was said Ekiti was amongst the state that didnt do too well in WAEC, fine, agreed. At least the indigene sat for the exams and definately did well but ofcourse not to the expectations of the Old Ekiti we always knew, we thank God solutions are being proferred for that.

In your state how many people wrote WAEC or even made it to Senior Secondary School level, instead while parents of other states (Western) were busy preparing their children for a better future, a future where they could stand up tall and raise their heads high amongst the best and be the best. Your state people were busy preparing their kids for instant gratification and a life of permanent hardship and struggles, a life where they cannot stand up tall and speak for themselves, a life where they are the lowlives of any community they are found in, a life of complex cos they find it so hard to express themselves wherever they are except amongst themselves, so they always keep hating on enlightened people, and now a life of drugs imposed on them by those who are supposed to be their leaders. People don't you just feel sorry for these people, **tears in eyes** life just isnt fair to them! Lols!

@Oyinda, you couldn't have said it better, a yoruba woman has the resources to take care of herself with or without marriage. But not like our igbo counterpart, who usually gets elevated by marriage, who has never been useful to herself, one of the main reasons their husbands end up being disgusted by their ability to stay idle and not be productive, well except in the baby manufacturing process cos men! Do they breed like fowls. Yoruba women are just the bomb

MzJamoGal:
Gee thanks!

Now for the words. I am too lazy to type them LOL plus I was banned on my MzDarkSkin i.d. for "spam like posts", so I am kind of weary about making long posts. Instead I have links for you to check out when you get the chance.

*Wikipedia is not always correct however I check out the words that they say we Jamaicans use, and they are correct for the most part, only we don't use "mumu" much. They also forgot to add "Labalaba" which for us is used to express "drama or over exaggeration".

EX: "Mi nuh inna di labalaba sinting/sitten" or "I am not into the drama".

One word they didn't explain is that fufu which is food for Africans for us is "foolish or dumb"

for example: "Mi nuh wa da fufu sitten deh!" or "I dont want that dumb thing." (fufu is sometimes written as "fool fool" in patois).

One Yoruba word I know for sure is "Bosi", for us it's "Boasy" which means "brag/boast/show off" 

"Di man dem boasy yu see?" or "See, those guys are show offs!"

*Somewhere down the line we used the same words but changed the meanings (fufu and labalaba for ex). The origins as listed on Wikipedia maybe questionable tho.

@MzJamogurl, thanks a bunch, m so checking out hose links right now, its so nice to get one's knowledge expanded esp in such an interesting thread.

**Sigh**

Oh my God, this is sad new, i loved Bobby, esp his deep husky voice and his sleek moves, his voice gave flavours to their song.
Bobby u'll sure be missed.
RIP

%Mr Cork:
One look like a IBO man and the other loook like a horse (no ofeinse)

Lols, for once i agree with u, yeah on the horse part, Hehehehehehe!

My dear sister, one love to Ekiti and Ondo, we are one

@p.wiz, why don't u click on Mobo444's trashy name and see what he's written about Nigerian women and how he is claimed to have slept with some mothers and how he has disrespected the Nigerian woman, he just got served what he asked for. He shlda realised it was a public forum before he came on in here and started talking trash!
Anytime he wants it, il give it to him just the way he deserves.
And if his fans don't like it, they culd jump infront of a moving train.
**yawn**

lols, thot u checked me out on FB, u know cute moi aint gat a wide forehead, well with these sentence you wrote i see no grammatical error, so it seems u enrolled afterall lols

@Mr Cork, m hoping u've enrolled in that school we discussed about

@Mygoldie, i suspect so, i guess one of the white ladies pulled the trigger ******sigh****** il miss him :x

@Amor4, nope, the truth jes had to be spoken, it doesn't make sense for an individual(s) to come on here talking about things that we see around us with our eyes everyday, trying to make us see otherwise. How can a Nigerian guy come and say in the whole of yorubaland Ekiti women are the most uneducated, it doesn't make sense.
I'm an Ondo girl and everyone knows that in the whole of yorubaland Ondo is the state that values education the most, back in the days a house must have at least a professor or that family was looked down upon. It was a taboo to have someone be an apprentice of any trade, it was surely frowned upon.
The Ondos just loosened up recently because they got a little bit of enlightenment.
Now my point is Ekiti came out from Ondo, and being that we are brothers and sisters we still share the same values.
So in essence education has got nothing to do with divorce or polygamy.
We need to bring up reasonable points that would enable us learn how to tackle divorce in yoruba land which was what this thread was all about before some dude tried to derail it

@Ileke-   Idi,   ur   welcome   my   sis   o!
We   just   need   to   school   some   pple   who   should   know   the   obvious  

@Ileke- Idi, ur welcome my sis o!
We just need to school some pple who should know the obvious

@sunch, i apologise for my response towards deejay, pls let this wonderful thread continue and please let it make front page!

@Ileke-Idi and Dapobear, you guys have the time to argue and reply to what Aloy is saying. Did you happen to see his second name? Its Emeka, can u imagine an Ibo guy come on a thread like dis to say that most Yoruba women are not educated! What a laugh, i hope you do know that your tribe as we all know is the second most uneducated tribe after the northerners, as we all know the northerners seem to be catching up now. I work in the mist of Ibo's and i shake my head at their level of reasoning. For starters they are the most complex pple u can ever associate with, their men crave for we yoruba women, but they know that a yoruba woman cannot take the trash they give their fellow Ibo women.
Aloy is here feeling like one local champion, i'm sure in ur clan u must really feel good as u can count those of you that are educated. Your talking about education, when your from a tribe that does not value it. At a young age when they are supposed to be attaining educational development the parents due to poverty wld send their child to Lagos to go slave away for years all in the name of apprenticeship. In ur state how many schools and universities are there, lols, and u talk education to we yoruba pple.
Even a yoruba woman selling leaves in the market would make sure her children graduate with flying colours from the university.

Let me school you on the difference between a yoruba woman and Ibo woman, a yoruba woman right from time has been taught from the beginning the art of independence, meanwhile an ibo woman is being brought up to think she is the most valuable asset of her family, where by she'd be sold to the highest bidder.
A yoruba woman whether her husband is dead or isnt capable any more of being the bread winner would be able to take care of her children.
Not so an Ibo woman, she can't because right from the start she has always been a housewive, baby factory and the only thing she know how to do well is cook and be dependent on her husband. When he dies tomorrwo she is left with nothing cos the relatives of the man would come and kick her out and since the woman is usually illiterate, she wouldnt know how to fight for her right, thereby going back to square one with the burden of the kids and all.

I could go on and on, as for polygamy or divorce evry woman should be independent, empowered and enlightened. It helps in the preparation of whatever.

My Gosh! M so loving this thread, MsDarkskin ur the bomb, i'll never have know this much about Jamaica, pls i'd really love to know about the vocabulary part.

@Deejay20, thanks for almost ruining such an educative thread, u are so shallow minded, Nigerian's are very hospitable pple and even a lill too trusting at times, i just wonder about the ones u lived or mixed with while u were here in Nigeria.

That euro dude is unserious, if he see you are vast and knowledgeable in the phone business he wld stop talking to you, i think he is looking for a novice to scam, fellow nairalanders beware.

@Lateef, are ur movies divx formats and how much does it cost to have a movie. Thanks

@Mr Cork, lols, i guess it's soap that's in your head to that's why you can't make a single sentence without causing earthquakes, lols.
To show u how bad ur english is sef, a lil rubbed off on me instead of enrol, i wrote enroll **shakes head**
Not to worry if you can't afford adult education, il sponsor you. Your ENGLISH is disastrous. No offence!
