Will be glad to meet nairalanders in camp.

We have heard the saying “It is better to be alone than in bad company”; it is great to be married, but I believe it is better to besinglethan to be in a marriage where you feel trapped and dead on the inside.
A broken relationship is better than a broken home, so if there are signs of an unhappy marriage already showing in your relationship, please have the courage to walkaway. It is better to let go of the’ good’, so the ‘best’ can come. if you aren’t in a relationship, the good thing is that you can make the most of being single by building and preparing yourself to be a great partner and spouse when you do get hitched…How do you maximise singlehood? What should you do while ‘waiting’ – or looking for Mr or Mrs Right?
1.Open your eyes:
Don’t shut yourself off from the world, be accessible. You may not have a very active social life when you’re married because of increased responsibilities, so this is your chance to build friendships that will stand the test of time. Besides, how will you meet apotentialspouse if you don’t give yourself the chance? Rebecca in the bible got a husband because she went to the ‘well’. The well was a social meeting
point forshepherdsand maidens because it was the major source of water in the area and almost everyone had to come there. It was a good place to exchange greetings and chat while you waited your turn to fetch water and since it was doneevery day, it was a good spot for the beginning of many‘promising’ friendships.
Join a gym, a department in church, a club orstart anew hobby where you get to meet people. The idea is to make friends and get to know them –without an agenda.
When you know people in a relaxed atmosphere, they also get to know you and potential ‘courtship’
relationships can begin…I must say this, where you go determines the kind of people you’d meet. Anyone one you meet in a brothel, a night club or a friend’sbachelor partymay not have the same values as you and may be the cause of ‘regret-worthy’ one night stands and unwanted pregnancies waiting to happen to an unfortunate victim; so choose your social activities wisely!
2. Look inside:
To be good company, you must learn how to successfully stand alone. You can’t support your future spouse and be a backbone when you haven’t learnt how to support yourself emotionally and otherwise. A successful marriage is the coming together of two ‘whole’ people not two ‘halves’.
That’s why the seemingly romantic line “You complete me” is like a fallacy, because no human being can ‘complete’another person because they are not God. Yes you may feel better around someone and you
may fit together like two peas in a pod, ‘5’and ‘6’…. and all the ‘perfect pair’synonyms, but you need to discover yourself, your likes,your purpose, your passion and what you want out of life. Focus on YOU, focus on building your career, on building your character and building your dreams; that way when he or she comes along, they will be proud and feel so lucky to be with someone like you.
3. Be patient:
I know this seems cliché or maybe crazy if you’re way past your 30s and under pressure to settle down, but the most mistakes in life are made when you’re in a hurry. Count the cost of getting married and be sure that you are ready. Don’t get married for your mother, or for society,do it for yourself. You will be the only one in the marriage with someone else, so why shouldn’t you be allowed to make sure you’re ready?
Desperate choices bring desperate mistakes so take your time in getting to know people and getting to know
yourself, your future spouse will appreciate you more. Besides, your attractiveness drops when you’re too eager to get hitched, haven’t you noticed thatpeople whoseem to not be looking for a relationship always seem to have ‘chasers’? Maybe waiting a little before you commit to a relationship will save you from avoidable heartbreaks, bankruptcy and abuse.
4. Grow, improve, but don’t change:
I’ve seen cases where people lower their standards, pretend to be who they are not, and disregard their values only to be heartbroken in the end. If anyone cannot love you for whom you are, then you are better off without them. Be the best version of yourself,but by all means never try to be someone you’re not to gain acceptance.A lot of marriages have suffered from great shock when during years of dating the man was a romantic gentleman withsuaveand manners, and when he gets married he reveals the ‘cave man’ inside; and turns a wonderful wife into a bitter and disappointed woman. A lady who hates the ‘heat’ of the kitchen pretends to be a domestic goddess to attract a husband and turns into slob after marriage, much to the disappointment of her husband. Please be open minded and willing to change, but don’t make up a fantasy of perfection in order to trap someone. You were created wonderful, you are beautiful inside and
out. Work on getting the beauty within and without to shine through. Anyone who cant see and appreciate the unique and wonderful person you are doesnt deserve to be with you. Any love you are not secure, confident and feel peace about, will not changed by marriage. I see a wedding coming up that will be the beginning of a wonderful marriage and its got your name on it!
Cheers!

Well, i dont really know much..u'll need doctors in the house to help with dat. I can only say too much alcohol does damage to the sperm, high drugs also can affect a man performance and sperm. The effects is for a man with a watery sperm, the chances of him being able to father is extremely low and suchh people need to see a medical personnel.

I'll advise the make folk to be cautions of their health, take more fruits especially banana and any potassium contained fruits, also vegetables is good for the man system.

I'll let the doctors ind a house take it from there and i also stand to be corrected, am just an Electrical Electronics Engineer.

angiemartinez: i just go straight to his banana, and instantly it will start to nod like agama lizard. show don start be dat.

Looking @ ur profile picture, i cant just help but imagine how my banana will be in ur hand especially in dat mouth.

missdebs: hello, there are tools called mouth and brain, use dem

Mouth and brain. Can we meet, i'll like for u to use dat on me and lets see if it'l work,

I am a product of my NIGERIAN environment!

The man has to make the first move!
Nigerian MEN have NEVER turned me on!
NOT EVEN MY HUSBAND!

I have never been turned on by physical attributes.

No matter how good a man looks, if he does not speak my emotional language. . . . . Then I go for his wallet only!
For children and money. . . .LOTS OF MONEY only.
I have to FORCE MYSELF TO LIKE HIM. . . .TO GET WHAT I WANT!!!!

Straight Up!

Maybe ur husband/boyfriend(s) isn't worth it, or maybe something is wrong with u emotionally, pshycologically...u neva can tell.

bukatyne: You are happy a woman is beating her husband?

What is the joy there or am I missing something?

With her comment, u should av know women like zeb04 are d types dat can beat their husband.

banega: Yoruba men are weak na. What do yuh expect.? Na only mouth them get. Lolz!

Would u rather want the husband to beat the hell out of the wife, if the man had taken revenge, women will come out crying dat he shouldn't have, and dat u cant compare a man punch with a woman punch. Can u now see y i always say women are a very confused set of being.

LARRYDKING: buh we hear of cult clash and killings in Lautech, i have a friend there anyway who tells me if u come to lautech, u have to be care, u dont knw who is who.

I do know what he's talking abt, but not cultist.

Tytto: Which school is one if the leading schools with high cultism? LAUTECH? You better get your facts right......

No mind dat yeye LARRYDKING, LAUTECH name can never spoil, he no know how far we've gone in building dat name.

Inbtw, I finished from lautech 2012, are u a ladokite?

I am hearing this story for the first time, never knew OAU had such a terrible history.....I remember when i finished from Osun State Polytechnic in 2001 and wanted to go for direct entry, i wan told not to bother about OAU because my school, esa oke poly, ibadan poly, offa poly has being blacklisted by ife because of our school history with cultism, now i know y! But i was not a cultist, so i paid for other people sin becos OAU is a school i do dream of since childhood....all is history now as am a graduate of LAUTECH.

justi4jesu: Can i see ur ferrari?

Today i dont drive a ferrari, but 2morrow i'll have my own private jet. Just be part of my story.

LARRYDKING: no wonder the sch is one of the leading schs with high cultism activities.

Be mindful of what u say, i graduated from lautech in 2012 and am still very much active, cultism is very minimal in lautech, infact, i can say dey dont exist. But when u talk abt yahoo yahoo, u can say ladokites are good @ dat.

justi4jesu: I will cry like there is no tomorrow oh....

Make my Chief bridesmaid beta buy 2packs of hankerchief

I'll be there to wipe ur tears baby, dats y am the right man for u

MAYOWAAK: SOME social critics believe that our social values are part of what is disturbing our society. It means that if we feel disenchanted with the economy and political plundering, we should as much be upset with the current social ills and culture. Reshaping these values may well be the hole we need to block in order to get out of the whole quandary which has wrapped us for years. Images of extravagant marriages and wedding ceremonies are common and they remind us of several of the areas our society is being screwed.

Admittedly, marriage is considered as an exceptionally significant institution which dates back centuries ago. Nevertheless, the origin of wedding is not very clear and seemingly, there was no law governing it until societies began to incorporate it in their culture.

Evidently, what was dominant during the regime of our forefathers is the traditional engagement where the prospective groom and his relations would go to their bride’s home to pay her parents some money, commonly known as the bride price. The payment is to convince the bride’s parents that the groom is capable of taking care of their daughter. And once that was done, a day would be secured for escorting the bride to the bridegroom’s house. Surely, there were associated engagement events but not on the scale we see today. Currently, the extent of wedding events is truly undefined and wide; usually dependent on cash, influence and families.

There is no gainsaying that wedding ceremonies as they now happen are one of the eggs laid and hatched by the whitemen during the colonial era. Today, one sees a different pattern which neither agrees with our culture nor the pace and content of our development.

No doubt, the hope of every man and woman is to one day come to terms with that originally ordained institution by God, nuptial. However, as young teenagers progress in life, the desire grows deeper. Once a young man has completed his university education and gains employment, the next thing is the cultural pressure to be joined to someone. So as soon as he sees a lady who can possibly pair with him for life, the contemplation and plan for the wedding begins.

By and large, every girl’s profound dream is about being a queen on her wedding day. Agreed that wedding is supposed to be an intriguing affair but should millions of naira be squandered to thrill people some of whom would come bearing expression of deprivation and grief. In many homes where much has been expended for the occasion are relatives, who despite their struggle, have not been able to cross the line of destitution.

Most commonly cited reasons for excessive weddings range from the event being one-time in life and the need to make it memorable to the fact that it is the only way would-be couples could make each other glad. Unfortunately, while many dispose part of their belongings to foot the bills or defray already borrowed money, others go entreating their close relations and friends to lend them helping hands in order to bring their desire to past. The only objective being that they would want their wedding to be the talk of the town.

Invariably, breakdown of expenditure for weddings varies but ranges from dowry, drinks, food, dresses, decoration to rings, jewelry, halls, mobility, cake and bands. Average wedding in Nigeria could cost as much as N500, 000.

Abroad, it could be up to $25,000 (N4.2 million). A wedding which took place in Australia in June 2006 (Nicle Kidman and Keith Urban) cost up to $250,000 (N42 million). The couples’ guests got take-away clocks which cost about $350 (N60,000) each. The popular footballer, David Beckham and Victoria Adams spent about $800,000 (N144 million) for their wedding and rings alone cost $200,000 (N36 million) circa. It is undreamed-of that even Elton John and David Furnish, the popular gay partners who got wedded in 2005, the first week that same-sex civil union was legalised in Britain, spent about $1.5 million (N270 million) for that provocative bash.

It is understandable when these things happen overseas but not in a land where every family is like a local government council, providing for itself accommodation, light, water, drainages, roads etc. An average person’s need for money in developed countries is less as most of the facilities for life comfort are provided by the government at affordable rates. Therefore, they can afford to spend huge sums of money on weddings and holidays.

Areas would-be couples spend most vary. To some, it is wedding gown and coat and to others it is refreshment and cake. Elsewhere, it could be security and bands. Many would want to see their wedding being fit for the sons and daughters of Kings and Queens or even a Presidential royalty. Some want their guests to be in hundreds and others a thousand plus.

While some bridegrooms favour suit directly imported from Paris or America and pairs of shoes from Italy, some brides would want to appear in a flapper-inspire full length white gown, whether or not they understand the essence of the colour, adorned with intricate beads and silver or golden encrusted flower patterned headband attached to the veil.

The real exhibition usually begins from the procession at the church entrance. Some of the wedding gowns are more than 10 feet from the foot, and the best lady must maintain the expected distance. Such brides’ steps are calculated and sluggish to ensure everyone takes cognizance of the perceived gorgeous off-the shoulder gown and possibly Jamaican hairdo. Some would-be couples would ensure that the band at the reception is top rate, with a household name. The cake is usually distinguishable by the colour, steps, decoration and height. The chefs must not be the ones patronised by every Tom, Dick and Harry.

Often, it is the prospective bride, with little or no interference from her parents, who drags the would-be bridegroom into such infinite and insane outlay. Be that as it may, the next couples should pick up a big lesson from the wedding of Liza Minnelli and David Gest which took place a few years back and is believed to be the most luxurious then and perhaps till date. At that wedding, 850 guests attended while the popular late musician, Stephen Wonder featured as one of the entertainers. Some 500 staff workers were temporarily employed to bring the event to life. Total spending hit $3.5 million (N980 million). And guess what, only a year after, the couple parted. What an indignity and waste? In Nigeria too, divorce rate within the first five years of marriage is claimed to be up to 50 per cent, so why all the hullabaloo?

Notably, the essence of marriage is to live together and procreate in fulfillment of God’s declaration. Prospective couples should focus on life after the wedding and know that the days ahead could mean nothing but thoughtful mystifying encounters and the realities of life instability.

Critics need to be convinced why Nigerians should not restrict themselves to the old traditional style of marriage whereby the bridegroom would pay the dowry and without elaborate ceremonies take his bride away. It is important that people should appear at our weddings but a few numbers to witness them should suffice. I have observed weddings overseas where there were no more than 10 in all, inclusive of relations and friends. Priorities are vital. Guests should be few and the things would-be couples already have should be used. Let us remember that there is countless number of people out there who require help and we cannot continue to lavish money in the name of weddings.

Haha, damn tooooooo long, u could av just summarize it.

There are mothers and there are murders, i couldn't help but thank God for the kind of mother he gave me.
A sick, demented, New York woman has been arrested and charged with second degree murder after police authorities say she smothered her 11-month-old son,pictured above, before posting pictures of his dead body on Facebook.
Nicole “Nikki” Kelly uploaded an image of 11-month-old Kiam Felix Jr. lying in a white suit and tie with the caption “RIP Tinkabutt,” alongside a picture of his body in a hospital bed. She also posted a rambling Facebook screed in which she admitted she failed to “protect” the boy. Kelly wrote:
“Missing my baby boy so much wish there was some way I could bring him back to life. I feel horrible knowing he passed away. Am his Mother, I was supposed to protect him. I
know his spirit will always be around me . . .”However, what Kelly didn’t say was that, according to officials, she had killed the boy on Sunday by putting a sheet over his face as she tucked him into bed. Kelly watched the tot struggle to breathe before callously leaving him alone to die. When she came back a half-hour later, she found him blue and unresponsive, said Queens DA Richard Brown.
When the boy’s father, Kiam ­Felix Sr., arrived at the family’s Elmhurst home several hours later, he rushed the boy to Elmhurst Hospital. Brown said that Kelly, when cops asked why she did it, allegedly said, “I reached my breaking point, I didn’t want him anymore.”

sexybaby22: i had a blind date with one inspector that that saw my pix through a mutual friend of ours on facebook and all through our conversation he didn't send his pics but kept asking for mine. he said the pics he has on his page was old and he had changed. On the d-day i wanted to be the first to see him but he played it in such a way that he will see me first. As i just turned to see him i saw one fat hippo telling me he is the one i just squeeze face all through our period together. He asked if i don't smile, i just answered him that i cant be smiling every time now. after that day i just started forming busy to ignore him.

When I arrived I was expecting to meet a black average simple young man. Instead I met a very very handsome humble mix race guy.I was blown away. He was so into me. We settled at a restaurant, catch up on a lot of things, got to know more about each other, we had something to eat and drink etc....he saw me off to my car and we kissed and started dating from there until I found out he dates men as well. He is bisexual. That ain't cool with me I dumped him at once. Love disappeared. Now am single and waiting for the right man...

talk2cj08: TETRACYCLINE
popularly called “red and yellow capsule” in places like Nigeria isan antibiotic and one of the medications that have been seriously abused.It’s a first choice for many people in treating diarrhea; and a lot of them do not use the right dosage. Many people are guilty of this.Here are very important facts you must know before you use another dose of tetracycline.

1. Don’t use less than the required dose. Some people use only 2 or 4 capsules and they stop. This will cause resistance, and it may not work for you when you use it another time.

2. Tetracycline is not to be taken by children less than eight years. The drug may cause permanent discolouring of your teeth.

3. Pregnant women (or those planning to get pregnant soon) or nursing (breast feeding) mothers should not us tetracycline

4. Tetracycline should not be taken with milk, yoghurt or other dairy products.

5. Tetracycline should NOT be used at the same time with oral contraceptives. This is because taking the drug at the same time with some oral contraceptives may cause the contraceptive not to work.

6. Tetracycline might produce some side effects such as diarrhoea, blurred vision, nausea and vomiting, dizziness, infections of the vagina, etc as adverse effects. 

7. Always consult your doctor, pharmacist or other health professionals before using tetracycline or any other antibiotic.

Pls, I'll like to ask, is it true that flagyl is good for pile?
