Has anyone ever gotten a date off of here? Any neat relevant Nairaland stories to tell?

carmelion: Whether Men and Women are equal?As in which side?

Hmmm......smh, no they are not equal o!..
I believe there is a reason why they were created FIRST. But nevertheless, each gender has its own perculiar role to play.

I believe this topic works hand in hand with women empowerment. This thing started because women were being maltreated by their male counter part. So the society sought to give women a voice,which am in support.

But women should know their limits. Personally,I don't measure shoulders with men,cos most times,it robs someone of her feminity. The only place I would not mind contesting with a man is in maybe academics,every other thing I give way, as long as it doesn't de-humanise me(Violence/battery)

I think it's horribly sad that you think this way. You dehumanize and disenfranchise yourself by subscribing to the belief that you're lesser than another human being. You're far too assimilated into pathetic patriarchal gender roles that you have lost all sense of personal identity.

The fact remains that women and men ARE equals although we aren't treated the same in politics, careers, domestic duties, etc. Feminism involves leveling the ground on which women and men stand so that the equality may actually be viewed in our everyday lives and not just a phrase.

We ARE equal.

You're fine as hell.

BarbieBlues: MEEEEEEE

You have pretty eyes, girl

peteafrik88:

That was quite a good one... So you can always ask a question here and I will be of help... But if you can give me a clue of where in Igbo you are from, I can give you a good cyltural orientation.... Instead of about the whole Igbo land, which will be quite huge

I don't know where exactly just know I'm Igbo..methinks

2legit2qwt:

Sweet, you remind me of a younger version of that biracial girl who sings like Asha, can't remember her name but you're cutie. Lets see what CFCfan or the ogas at the top have to say about you ocntesting. Meanwhile, I'll tell you who to cheer and vote for

I'm not biracial!!! I hate when people think I'm mixed race lol, no harm no foul though.

Naija women are the best women!

2legit2qwt:

I don't think so, i might be wrong though but there's a requirement on how long you've been a member prior to the contest. Can i see a picture?

I posted in the "Post a Pic of yourself" thread but I will repost here. This is me, BeautifulNaija

I understand if I can't compete just yet...I will cheer from the sidelines for all my other beautiful Naija sisters and brothers!

I truly do not understand. Most Naijas use harmful chemicals (relaxers) or other straightening methods in order to achieve a straight look. Why? Why do most strive to fit into a Eurocentric perspective of beauty. WE ARE BEAUTIFUL AS WE ARE. We need to unchain our minds and break free. I have natural hair and am willing to help anyone who is considering going natural or is already natural.

What do you think of this phenomenon?

Can I enter? I know I just joined yesterday and I love it here...just wondered if I can compete for Ms. Nairaland?

Kedu!

peteafrik88:

Alright, Culture is such a vast area in Igboland.... Any ideas on your state of origin, so we will do that first.
Meanwhile, can you read your emails on nairaland cos I left you some couple of emails lately Or better still, add me on facebook lets get started.... Facebook: Pete Oji
Will be waiting.... ***winks**

I find this forum and its email response system kind of difficult to use...I have received several emails from people and have tried to reply back but I don't know if they're getting them.

Sorry to anyone who hasn't received my responses...I'll keep trying..Kedu to all!

peteafrik88:

No worries dear. As said, welcome and I think you are right. Sounds like you had an exciting experience of growing, better than mine? I will love to hear about some...
For the Igbo, you just met a Professor in Igbo culture... (***laughing at my professorship****). I am Pete, from Abia and which part of Igboland are you from?

So don't worry about the Igbo when I have got your back... Where and when do you want to start your tutorials *****Smiles****

Unfortunately, I was born in the US. Never been to Igboland I want to learn more about my culture and definitely the language. Anything you want to know about the dumbass USA then I can tell you LOL. You may tutor me in anything you deem necessary! :-)

peteafrik88:

Halo there... Welcome and if you don't mind, which culture will you like to share I could be interested.....

Apologies for not specifying!

I am a Naija girl living in the USA and would like to reconnect with some fellow Igbos or just 9jas in general...Learn the language and more of the customs and culture of my people.

The USA steals and tries to change any culture Black people have for themselves...white people can be so evil. I hope we all remain true to ourselves

I could share my own experiences of growing up here. I need an Igbo language tutor.

CFCfan:
U may contest the December edition of Miss Nairaland.

I don't think I'm allowed to participate since I'm a new member I just joined today due to technical difficulties.

However, if I am eligible for contest entry I will upload more photos .

sep.pharm:
Hi, i can help you out. My younger brother resides in NC. Send email or something, so i can hook him up with you and you guys can take it to the next level if you both click with each other. I am of the school of thought that Nairalanders should be dating Nairalanders.

Agreed! Nigerian Black men>>>>others

Thank you kindly!

Me, BeautifulNaija!

Igbo ladies better represent!

I can't seem to find any cool Naija men to date near me

I reside in North Carolina (USA).

Any tips or suggestions?

~BeautifulNaija

Hello my fellow Naijas! I'm new here and finally got my email confirmation to work. I am 21/Female and would love to learn and share more of my culture with new people

I wish I could find Nigerian men in my area to date We're severely lacking out here *sigh*
