Family / Re: The Pain Of Inter Tribal Marriages by BeloHorizonte14: 10:31pm On May 29, 2015
softysparky:

So sad!
Most times it happens when a woman married against her parent's wish or she might have fought every member of her family and elope with the said husband. That's the reason why some of them are always ashamed to go back home even when being abused by their husbands.
**sighs** So much for Love.
But in lilspiceyy's post she didn't say something like that happened.


My own is since nothing like you typed happened,both families of the said late parents didn't do well at all. I just don't understand why the mother's family would inflict such emotional torture on them at young age(it takes an inner strength to withstand and endure such kind of blame; i could imagine the piercing innuendos,isolation,especially the despising looks/countenaces they would be exposed to at that young age).

Or is it that children are only representatives of their fathers and not their mothers?


I even feel the story isn't well told/complete because lilspiceyy took sides.

Those are the popular brands in Nigeria. You might need to go store shopping to see if you'll see some more options. Or shop on Amazon, Newegg or EBay.
Do you know of any particular workstation that has major or all of the above specs (so as to ease my store/online shopping)?

Thanks.

This is the main reason Igbos resist it when their daughters are marrying Yoruba men
Many Igbo women who do it end up wounded and regretful
It's not good to generalize but when you see a recurring pattern it's difficult to ignore it
Igbo women have to make this clear
Discuss this culture of extra wives and secret mistresses and extramarital babies and put your foot down,let him know you are totally against it and won't tolerate it or accept that alien culture
I don't know why they keep looking for trophy Igbo wives and then end up keeping a Yoruba mistress/ w.hore on the side
If his family is such that his father had kids indiscriminately or he was one of those kids ,that should scare you,an apple doesn't fall too far from the tree
Born again or no born again,makes no difference
And if the family doesn't accept you during courtship,you will be foolish to go ahead with the marriage and bring up children that will be hated by their fathers family
Just take care of your self and your siblings and move on and embrace the family that loves you
You don't need people like those of your fathers family in your life

Imagine calling little kids names
Please oh,what about the part she said her mother's family blamed her and her siblings for their mother's death,isn't that worse(did you consider the psychological impact on them at that age)?

If the father's people are actually bad people according to your post,tell me; are the mother's people in anyway different?

You must be rich or something

Most powerful gaming laptop: MSI GT80 Titan has similar specs, and the Razer Blade/Blade Pro

Cheapest but best Value gaming laptop: Lenovo Y50
From what i have learnt so far? No bros,i wash my hands off gaming laptops.

I need a workstation.

In addition to the specs i wrote earlier,i would love;
2.5ghz to 2.8ghz CPU,
a 512gb SSD/1TB HDD/SATA
a good battery life
durability.


Thanks.

The thing is there are actually a lot of good ones, Asus Republic of Gamers(ROG) line, Toshiba's Qosmio line, Dell's Alienware line, MSI's gaming line etc but the thing is most of these PCs don't come cheap and to get one that's a complete package makes it a lot harder. Personally I use a Toshiba Qosmio currently(it's actually for sale on nairaland at the moment) but have used a lot of Laptops over the years and one thing that I know as fact at this point is as long as you know what to look for in specs and know appropriate pricing and don't try to cheap out, you'd be good to go, although with this types of laptops, you also need to look into cooling.
You'd notice I mainly mentioned gaming PCs the reason is other than gaming PCs, you are pretty much looking at workstation grade PCs and that is a whole other story as far as pricing is concerned(not to mention that they are not the best at gaming).
Check those brands mentioned above and compare specs and prices and then make your purchase.
Goodluck.
i checked for the specs of both workstations and gaming laptops like Asus RoG series,dell precision series,alienware 17,Hp Zbook 17,Lenovo thinkpad W540S and W550S.

Except for the GPU cards(Nvidia/GeForce and Quadro/FireGL),both workstation and gaming laptops both have the same spec configuration interms of same core i7 4th generation processors,almost same RAM size; 16gb being the smallest.

My Question is,why then are workstations considered as poor in terms of gaming?
What are the similarities/differences in terms of functionality?


Thanks

Now even a dumb ass motherfucker would not post such ungodly screenshots, every right thinking geek knows MacBooks have close to zero gaming capabilities so doing game frame rate comparisons is unreasonably dumb and then your second course of attack was the display in nits, you were now not respectable enough to compare a retina display MacBook Pro with a 3k display also funny how you did not post screenshots of the battery life comparison, hard drive speed comparison and overall performance comparison but simply cherry picked the parts that favored the Lenovo which are actually moot as that is not what MacBooks are for not to mention that in the graphics comparison, the MacBook is on par with every other PC on the list. You should learn to have the fear of God in whatever you do na, is it by force to win an argument? You're a network engineer so let's be honest PC specs really isn't your strong suit so I understand all this your mums posts even though I still give you your professional respect.


so please,in terms of specs,which laptop is the go to (please factor in the gaming aspect and professional power user)?

And where i can get it in Nigeria.

Thank you.

Health / Re: Don't Panic, That's Your Anatomy! by BeloHorizonte14: 2:36pm On May 20, 2015
Dranatomy:
........DON'T JUST PANIC!........
(You and your funny anatomy)

EPISODE 1

Writing this in reply to your numerous whatsapp, 2go, facebook messages ,sms and emails. It's very good to understand your body structures (anatomy), so that your anatomy can understand you.

There are some questions you will not be able to ask your doctor, no matter how close you both are. Am talking about glorified shyness /meanness. Now check these out....

FOR GUYS:
1. Don't panic when your left ball (testicle) is shorter than your right ball. The right ball must naturally be longer than the left. Touch it now to confirm.

FOR LADIES:

1. Don't panic when your left breast (bust) is much bigger than your right breast. It's normal. You can touch them now to confirm.

FOR GUYS:

2. If you notice one ball instead of two, it means all is not well. It means one ball is still inside your abdomen (tomi). You will have difficulty impregnating a woman not untill something is done about it.

FOR LADIES:

2. Occasional painful breast lumps are normal. Not all lumps are cancerous. We call those swellings, lymphatic enlargements. Its the body's natural way of sending out unwanted biotics.

FOR GUYS:
3. Early morning Errection is normal. If you don't use to have it, don't panic. You are still okay medically.

FOR LADIES :
3. Wet dreams are normal especially for the minorities (lesser aged ladies). If you don't experience it, don't panic. But mind you, if you are always waking up with a wet vagina, with feelings of having made love , it's an indication that all isn't well spiritually.

FOR GUYS:
4. Wet dreams are normal.

FOR LADIES :
5. Always experiencing painful sex doesn't mean all is not well with you. You just need a sexologist for few minutes candid advice, that's all. You can be trained on how to convert pains to pleasure (masochism) . For the mere fact that your fellow friends are having enjoyable sex doesn't mean that all is well.

FOR GUYS:
5. Normal length of penis is about 4.5-7inches in African settings. Anything less than or more at full mature age means all is not well. Measure your own now. Use a ruler.

FOR LADIES:

6. Your vagina is about 3-4inches when not aroused and about 5-7inches when aroused. Anything less or more than this means all isn't well. Measure your own now.

FOR GUYS:
6. Having big sized nipples doesn't mean you have a problem. It also doesn't connate you as a virgin. It's normal, depending on your family gene.

FOR LADIES :
7. All ladies must not have a big bust. However you have it, it's ur nature. However, not all of you will have medium or small sized busts. Experiencing unexplained dimples on your bust means cancer is approaching........More of these on EPISODE 2

God bless you.!

Romance / Re: Funny Reasons Nigerian Ladies Turn Down Marriage Proposal From Guys by BeloHorizonte14: 3:47pm On May 18, 2015
Sunnycliff:
Religious Reasons and Job type to me is not funny! A present issue my family is facing is about the job of a guy who is a mortuary attendant seeking for my cousin sister's hand in marriage and we are reluctant to that! Is this reason funny? How can I give my daughter to a Fetish man? Hell No
Fetish ke? This one na gobe,original gobe.

If you fight the guy too much and the guy really loves your sister,I am sorry he may resort to charms/cast a spell on her

It happened to a friend's sister,but this time it was the girl's family that was under a spell; it was after she had given birth to two children that the spell wore off.

that's correct lol these are all premium laptops. I have a Lenovo Thinkpad W541 out of those bunch, but I have the minimum configuration. The highest processor it can be configured with is the Intel Extreme Core i7 4940MX.


Can one get any of these laptops in Nigeria?
Computers / Re: Why Are Apple Systems So Expensive? by BeloHorizonte14: 8:22pm On May 11, 2015

Quite a few:

17" is too big imo

Lenovo Thinkpad W541
Dell Precision M4800
HP Zbook 15
Toshiba Tecra W50

Those are all professional laptops with a lot of power.
Thank you very much Sir. It is a privilege to have someone like you.on this thread

All the laptops are nothing less than 200k,right sir?

In our office we use the hp zbook 17 it has a 4940mx intel processor 3.1ghz quadcore with 4ghz turbo.
32gb ddr3ram
1tb ssd and 2tb hdd
An 8gb nvidia quadro 5100m graphics card of. Course it cost a fortune. And I still think its slow espically 3dss max rendering. We switch to the z840 and z820 for that the z840 spec

Dual intel xeon E5 2697 v3 14core at 2.6ghz 28 physical core and 56 virtual cores(what you see in task manger as 56 cpu)

256gb ddr4 2133mhz ram

Dual Qaudro K6000 with 12gb video card

Not ur average desktop
Revit and 3ds max runs like a cham even 36 million polygon

Dell precision m6000 series also


The macbook pro does not have ventilation how can it breathe. Also the gtx 750m graphic card is below medicore only comes with 16gb ram get my drift.
You the best boss,thank you so very much.

Value varies from ppl to ppl. When it comes to premium mobile computers espically the mackbook pro not the air I think apple kills the competition. Not because there's anything special about it but because it's a perfect blend of hardware and software take note I mean the ordinary power users. Not the professional power users like 4k video editors, CAD users I mean just photoshoppers and light video editing. Now mac osx espically for mobile has some distinct advantages ike its awesome trackpad. This is not hardware based but on os level microsoft lived in denial for years, about this During the windows 7 era.
Now apple hardware advantages is a mixture of the lackadaisical attitude of the windows OEM. Let's take Hp for example HP has about 30 diffrent variations of laptops this make even though they sell more product than apple, but they have a lower bidding power for components. Like the macbook retina display, the imac 5k display apple 5 variations of the macbook from pro to air. This gives apple a higher bidding power on specific components. Espically the premium ones. And I agree they charge exhobitantly for their product but that because there is no competition. And to crown it all the hardware to software works way better than windows. Same thing with their phones and tabs. But I agree ones you cross over to the power user then the apple flaws. Starts showing.

Of course I can neva pay the apple tax, so I am a full fledged windows user and what I do CAD, apple does not exis here. All in all microsoft has to fine tune windows and the OEMs must setup their design too. But I am afraid the tile based design of windows is not helping either. A great machine is not just hardware but the software and hardware flawlessy working together apple clearly beats windows in these areas and that's what the average joe cares about.
Any example of a professional power user laptop you know of?


And also please,apart from the ''apple tax'',is there any reason why macbook pro/air is not a professional power user laptop?

Thank you.

Apple Laptops, I mean the MacBook Pro series, they are simply the best not because they so good, but because they don't have much piracy to deal with. Most of the Laptops in Nigeria now are pirated, I mean 95% of the Laptops.
Also now in Nigeria, we are more concerned about the PRICE and not the QUALITY. An original corei7 Processor goes for 60,000 - 70,000 naira, depending on the clocking speed and so on.
If you buy an HP of corei7 in Nigeria for less than 200k you should know it's not a genuine corei7, though you will be seeing it displays as corei7 but its not. There are ways to actually determine true cores of your processor and not just by checking system properties.
We still have a long way to go in Nigeria.. May God help us.
Please,how does one tell/know a genuine laptop?

So you are telling me there is a way to fool msinfo32? I don't want to sound like a newbie because I'm a network/protocol analyst/engineer. But I don't think there is a way in the registry to do so, but anything is possible.

Even Apple computers can be tricked. Don't think they can't. Mac OS X is just an overlay of Linux.
Thanks a lot for your posts,i could sense the user experience.

Please,who is msinfo32 and did you buy your lenovo in Nigeria? If so,please where?

When he talks to her, he must say just enough. Too much and she'll take him for granted. Too little and she'll take him for a dull Nigga or a malicious boyfriend.

You may ask for her opinion only 30% of the time. Other times, just go ahead with your plans.

Be firm.
Like what kind of talk does one engage a lady in?

The brand (Apple); the hardware: they use correct hardware which make their devices last; the mac operating system; etc.. These qualities also make the devices have a fairly high resell price as the prices don't depreciate so easily like other brands (hp, sony, samsung et al).. That's what I belive makes their devices so expensive.
does one need to buy 'apps'? Thank you

Some women initiate then step back to let you drive the relationship. These women are very smart.

Some other women initiate and take the reigns of the relationship. A man can't be a man with this sort.

Women should learn to allow men lead in a relationship even if the lady approached him first.

Personally I have dated women that approached me first, not one, not two and I have vowed to never try it again reason being that Every lady who's got the balls to ask a guy out has cheating tendencies


She will definitely port when she meets a hotter guy.

missclasssy:
First of all, I see nothing wrong in a lady approaching a guy or a lady initializing a relationship.
It's that African mentality that we carry about that would make us think differently

That being said in the case of your friend I would also say there is nothing wrong in the lady approaching him, but there is a clause.
If he knew the lady for some time as a mere friend or she works around where he works, lives in his neighborhood or is someone that he already knew before then I would say there is nothing to worry about.

But if he never knew her, never met her and she just approached him from no where and asked him out then I'd advise he applied caution.

You said he is already liking the lady and the lady says she likes him. Well, If the love she has for him is genuine, then good for the both of them.
But there is no way to tell if the lady is saying the truth, and that's why I advise he be care. He should follow his heart and use his brains

Is your friend religious? If he is I would also advise he pray about it. It helps.
Entering into a relationship with someone is a very critical part of ones life and before making such decisions, one should apply wisdom, care and in most cases, prayers.
Thank you so very much. My friend isn't that religious.

Please,what about the boyfriend/girl friend role/responsibility?
Romance / Relationship With A Lady Who Approached You. by BeloHorizonte14: 5:50pm On May 08, 2015
A friend of mine was recently approached by a lady. He likes her,she likes him too.
But the problem is he has fears; is there any psychological/emotional implication? What are the challenges involved; ups and downs?

Is there any difference between a relationship initiated by a lady and the one a guy initiated?
