Lol,i just finished watching "Lagos,Africa's big apple" on youtube where proud Nigerian commenters are talking of $500b economy,of paradise and great city.

So why would millions of Nigerians be running away from paradise,land of milk and honey and all that if it was such a paradise?

Too much makeup on them,essentially beauty that comes from the bottle.

nieema:
I've been trying to end my 2 year relationship for a few months. There are several reasons but the MAIN reason is that I am NOT happy with myself. I need to make some adjustments to improve my life and I need some space to refocus. I love him but I don't NEED to be in a relationship at this time with anyone. We promised each other that we would always be honest about how we were feeling. I reminded him of this when I tried to break things off six weeks ago. I told him that I would still be there for him if he needed anything. I respect him but I need to take care of some things in my peronal life that require my full attention.
I proposed that we go back to being friends but he rejected my offer. Even though we started as friends he said he isnt willing to have a friendship with me if I end the relationship. I don't think it's fair because I've been genuinely good to him. After much consideration and further frustration, I've decided to break it off tonight face to face. At the moment he is having some financial difficulties and I plan to gift him 40k to help ease the sting. I hope he undersatands that I sincerely care for him as I refocus on my own life.
Would you guys/ladies feel better if your honey left you with a break up gift?..or no??

You sound like "one of a kind" and a genuinely caring person and I highly commend you for that.However, to me the greatest relationships is those that can withstand the toughest of times.Nothing in this world is more important than people-not money,not material stuff,nada.If some things "require full attention" and if he doesn't mind to sacrifice then he should be all-in-it for you.Yes,refocus on your life all you can but understand that nothing is static in life,things change,people change coz at some point in the future you're bound to feel differently.Yes,he needs to pull up his socks and it sounds like he can't live without you-every relationship has its difficulties- but it feels like its YOU who needs re-invention,self apparaisal and self critic the most(its you who's the stumbling block) ...and the key words for that reason is ..."MAIN reason is that I am NOT happy with myself".

Man City must lose this match o

I see you forgot your medication.Reality is biting you bitterly

C'mon invincible CityBlue boys,give these Chelski Russian mercenaries a run for their stolen money.

Chelski, buying success on the pitch with stolen Russian money,lol

I admire her most not for her money or success,but because unlike other women,she puts family 1st by sticking with her less successful husband.
If she was like other women especially the younger ladies she'd have dropped her husband bcoz "he's a lesser man"

African politics of opportunism that why you see mass defections.

In mature nations where ideology & issues are key, you'll never see this mass defection nonsense because their parties are founded on principles.

a conservative won't turn into a liberal

a socialist won't turn into a capitalist

a moderate won't turn into a radical

a republican won't turn into a monarchist

or Green partyist won't turn into a free market capitalist.

But in Africa we stand for nothing,no respect for principles,no ideology,no issues and even no respect for time keeping.We Africans stand for nothing,so we fall for anything.
He who wants everything everytime will lose everything anytime -that's why we Africans remain poor in the midst of plenty.

All that glitters is not gold.Some handsome guys and some gorgeous women are also the most heartless ,selfish and materialistic folks you'll ever meet.

With that said,i've also seen women attracted to serial murderers on death row and you wonder WTF?

Where's the festival of lights for sambisa forest and its hostages?

13 and suicide bomber is certainly worse than MTV's 16 and pregnant.

Both just look plastic and unnatural,they certainly look much better in their traditional African garb.

Nigerian girls are just like phones... they like to be held and talked to... but if you press the wrong button... YOU WILL BE DISCONNECTED!

Guy :No shirt,No service.

Girl: No shirt,No charge.

That basically explains our world of double standards on gender.

GEJ is modern day Vasco da Gama ready to explore sambisa forest and the world beyond.

Ouuchh,is that the used and abused Nigerian taxpayer feeling the excruciating pain?

Even chaotic Kinshasa looks fabulous from the sky and can look like London.

Nigeria has plenty of rogue ambassadors abroad and few knights in shinning armor.

FotherMucker:
If a larger economy translates into poor power supply, unemployment, insecurity, poverty, and corruption, then what exactly is the point? Where then is there anything to gloat about?

Botswana and Gabon's economies are smaller than Nigeria's but the average citizen of those nations lives far better than the average Nigerian.That important perspective is lost on GEJ and his many blind supporters.

So what GEJ? Sweden has an economy whose size is equal to Nigeria's economy with only 9m people. Context,context Mr GEJ coz more than half of yours is finite oil while Sweden's is all innovation,skills and industry.

Lights 1st then the city is built around them? Only in Nigeria!

You see,Islamic poison metamorphosed into rat poison -that's islam for you.

Free stuff is poison.You're encouraging dependency and a culture of citizens not thinking for themselves -not good for fostering innovative & productive citizenry which is what the state needs.

That car is decorated like the famous maasai people of east Africa.

Gosh,her looks just remind me of the days when Barbie was the only girl made of plastic.

I hope this ayigbe girl is dressed better inside her heart than she is on the outside.

[size=14pt]Who says dogs are more loyal than cats?[/size]

In Ethiopia, a group of men chased & beat a 12-year-old girl, trying to force her into a marriage

..But a pride of lions scared the men off & then stayed by the girl’s side until her family found her a few days later

Experts say the girl’s crying may have sounded to the lions like the meow of a young cub

But ...the locals say it’s a miracle as lions are often a serious threat to the community[/b]

I hate cats.At least dogs always look up to us but cats occasionally look down on us from atop cupboards,rooftops etc.

Chelski can lead now all in vain but it'll finally stumble just like Liver poo when the league wraps up.

Better cheer for the right blues ,ManC Blue- a team ordained by God to win it all.

C'mon Stoke City,do us a favour and bury "the arrogant one" and his team in an avalance of goals.

Chelsea smells bad,a team oiled by stolen Russian money.

Ibadan - a brown roof big village not quite befitting to be called a city.

This one big,fat lie....next?
