Because of the skyrocketting cost of shaving cream. And razor bump is very irritating on Muslim skins. That's the true reason. Don't mind the religious excuse.

FILM AND VIDEO
The reason most video looks nothing like a film you would see in a cinema is because the footage wasn't shot using actual film. The majority of blockbusters in cinemas use 35mm film to record all the images whereas most amateur film-makers, at most, can afford a video camcorder.

35mm film costs a fortune to buy and a fortune to run (we're talking hundreds of thousands of pounds/dollars). The reason they are so expensive? Because they are some damned good!
Film processes the picture information in a completely different way to video. It works in the same way as 35mm cameras (before the dawn of digital megapixel bollocks) except instead of capturing just one picture, it captures many, many pictures every second.

Film has a naturally sharp yet somehow smooth appearance to it. It has a natural "grain" effect and other such "blemishes" which actually make the picture look rather quite nice.

However, video on the other hand - everything is digital these days. Images are compressed onto tapes, the image is sharp but lacks any detail. Cheaper camcorders offer really crap colour reproduction, poor performance in low light and so on. In short, they will never match 35mm film. Sure new high-definition camcorders are appearing on the market (at a price!) which are slowly closing the barrier between video and 35mm, but we're still a long way away.

There nothing I would not hear happen in Nigeria! How did this happen?were this married couple living with Mr Evangelist father? What is your friends opinion about women wearing trousers? What kind of husband is that sef?A man beats your wife and your are asking for advice what to do? These self righteous people nah wah!

I'm as shocked and disgusted with this story as you are. I'm trying to make sense of the whole relationship and quality of people involved.

I may be more exposed to Nigerians and Blacks due to my heritage, but as an adult, I never set out looking for a woman of a particular race or nationality to date. Good looks generally attract me but her smarts will seal the deal for me. Luckily, my mum, the only person that can influence my choice of a woman really don't care where she's from, as long as she's nice and from a stable family.

Black mamba - I haven't laughed so much for a long time, thanks.

You're very welcome, sweety.

@BlackMamba
Strong words, hard words. Must be very upset indeed - only thing is don't see why you should.

I guess you don't get much education on human biology in Nigeria

This is why.
Especially when I know the quality of human biology I got in a Naija public school. If few guys online do not understand what vasectomy is, that does not in any way tarnish the education of over 100 million people.

oneday a friend of mine who is a guy came by and my sis was talking about weddings and this asked me how i wanted my wedding to be. what do you think he means?

What do you mean

Maybe we're not counting New York City. I don't think there's any corner you can stand for minute without running into a Naija.

Africa is seen as a pond of ignorance sprinkled by few west-influenced elite. The ignorance prevents the people from controlling their destiny either through democracy or revolt, while the elite take advantage of the situation.

That will work too. Remember the sacrificial lamb and fee for the gods.

SAM MILLA:
would you rather marry a wicked virgin instead of a nice and tested single parent. i personally have no problem with that .i just need a nice woman as a wife.i can only consider the age and character.

Numerous single girls are "nice and tested". I'm not seeking a virgin, actually virginity is a minus. I just don't want a woman with kids. I'll like to start on a fresh page. No baggages.

@Admin,
Lucrative and profitable, it is. Illegal or unethical, is a different issue and that's if you're caught and prosecuted.

As a broke ass, you're only striving to burden an already stretched out society. That's selfish and stupid.

The average guy/babe that scrap to eat 2 meals in campus cafeteria in all the Nigerian universities will tell you that life is f*cked up. Privileged folks that find UNILAG groovy will equally find Zamfara state university groovy, sharia notwithstanding. It's all about cash.

The "best" paying career is a "Politician". Don't tell me it's not a profession, because it is. Entry level positions are very hard to come by, like most high paying jobs. The downside is that there is no job security. But you can make all your career earning in one swoop, thanks to CORRUPTION.

Well, It's better than decrees.

Hell No!!. I'm still weighing on marriage itself, not to talk of one with extra baggage.

ThiefOfHearts:
lol resources that they can't even provide themselves? Man, the ignorance on this board is baffling.

Not when you play with our good heart to cloud our mind - ThiefOfHearts.
Sorry, Skanks don't get the benefit of our love and security.

michelin89:
He is more than what you think. And on what basis do you say he is "less"? Please explain yourself.

Your mum certainly agrees with me. Please forget this "hating on Ghana" stuff. That's giving Ghana too much credit. The guy came short of your mum's expectation. And she believes this can be remedied if you tap into the vast emotional and material resources that a Naija man presents.
I concur with mummy.

God bless your lovely mum. She is a true "daughter of the soil".
Why on earth do you want to settle for less? I guess, love? Well, sweety, listen to your mum. Sometimes love don't cut it.

goodguy:
Here in Nigeria, most people call from call centers (business centers) when they're low on credit, and most operators of such call centers usually hide the numbers of all telephones used in their place. Who knows, the person calling from there may have something important for you. Moreso, it may not be easy telling whether one is disguising his/her voice or not.

mrmayor:
If its important leave a message! thats why we have voicemail.

Thank you mrmayor. I never pick up a call I don't recognize. If it's an emergency, call the police. If you leave a message, I'll call you as soon as possible, depending on priority.

Put up naked women. Sex sells. A lot!
