She need not be a virgin. No woman deserves to be raped even if she is a prostitute. boboLIL: |
vitality22:I won't advice any1 to take up an annuity. I once witnessed a situation where at the death of a retiree, her children were paid less than the balance on the annuity. The balance was 5m, they paid them 3.7m. A pension fund administrator will pay the full sum at death. The kids felt cheated. |
I also work for a parastatal. I do not have any colleague whether senior or junior on any of my social media platforms. A colleague once feigned illness, took sick leave and went abroad. All the "abroad" pictures where he was seen having fun was transmitted to the office both in hard and soft copies by his facebook friends who were also his colleagues. |
Young man do you really know the meaning of love, love is when you like and tolerate your husband or your wife because of her bad side and not because of the good side. As for your sex mate she is only interested in making you unhappy. And mind you if you are sack today her love for you will evaporate like,steam so be warned. |

The land is a giant whale that swallows the sinker, with hook, line and bait aborting dreams of a good catch fishers turn home at dusk blue Peter on empty ships all Peters with petered out desires The land is a saber-toothed tiger that cries deep in the glade While infants shudder home the grizzled ones snatch their gut from bayonets of tribulation halting venturous walk at dusk The land is a giant hawk that courts unceasing disaster as it hovers and hoots in space The land lies patiently ahead awaiting in ambush those who point away from a direction where nothing happens toward the shore of possibilities.

@ishilove like Birago Diop, do you also believe that dead ancestors live on and should be celebrated? |
Vanity If we tell, gently, gently All that we shall one day have to tell, Who then will hear our voices without laughter, Sad complaining voices of beggars Who indeed will hear them without laughter? If we cry roughly of our torments Ever increasing from the start of things What eyes will watch our large mouths Shaped by the laughter of big children What eyes will watch our large mouth? What hearts will listen to our clamoring? What ear to our pitiful anger Which grows in us like a tumor In the black depth of our plaintive throats? When our Dead comes with their Dead When they have spoken to us in their clumsy voices; Just as our ears were deaf To their cries, to their wild appeals Just as our ears were deaf They have left on the earth their cries, In the air, on the water, where they have traced their signs for us blind deaf and unworthy Sons Who see nothing of what they have made In the air, on the water, where they have traced their signs And since we did not understand the dead Since we have never listened to their cries If we weep, gently, gently If we cry roughly to our torments What heart will listen to our clamoring, What ear to our sobbing hearts?

Dinner tonight comes with gun wounds. Our desert tongues lick the vegetable blood—the pepper strong enough to push scorpions up our heads. Guests look into the oceans of bowls as vegetables die on their tongues. The table that gathers us is an island where guerillas walk the land while crocodiles surf. Children from Alphabeta with empty palms dine with us; switchblades in their eyes, silence in their voices. When the playground is emptied of children`s toys who needs roadblocks? When the hour to drink from the cup of life ticks, cholera breaks its spell on cracked lips Under the spilt milk of the moon, I promise to be a revolutionary, but my Nile, even without tributaries comes lazy upon its own Nile. On this night reserved for lovers of fire, I’m full with the catch of gun wounds, and my boots have suddenly become too reluctant to walk me.

No 2 is so true. Doubt it to your own detriment. A Nigerian married man either cheats physically or emotionally. If he does not cheat it's either he has no money or he is a very devout pastor. |
Faceless is the pathetic and gripping story of children plunged into the streets by poverty and parental neglect. Amma Darko in very graphic details presents mind-boggling sociological issues of child-neglect, child abuse, defilement of girls, gender, child-trafficking, child-labour, absent fathers, reproductive health risks, violence and failed governance through the grim experiences of street children. Amma Darko tells the world that every street child has a story, though rarely told. The common denominator in all of these stories is parental neglect. Amma Darko's Faceless is a really good read.

With these trains, many people would have no business living in big cities like Lagos or Abuja. I can live in Ibadan or Oshogbo and work in Lagos. Rents in big cities would fall drastically. |
I can't find Isidore Okpewho on this list. If you've read the Last Duty you'll understand what I'm talking about. Isidore Okpewho is a great writer. His writings are simple yet very deep. He should be on that list. |
Hate Post. Not good at all. This was how the Rwandan genocide started. No real Yoruba would associate with this post. mainman7: |

In our fast-paced world where girls are rushed into adulthood, how can a mother help her young daughter navigate the stormy waters of boy craziness, modesty, body image, media and Internet? "Six Ways to keep the 'Little' in Your Girl" answers this question. I have read the book and think every mum with a young daughter between age 6 and 12 should have it. You'll learn how to help your daughter grow up confident, grace-filled and strong. The book opens with the author’s own life story- how she was raised in a “good Christian home” yet lost her virginity at age 15. She told no one for many years but carried the guilt with her. She decided to research how she could better prepare a future daughter to avoid the pitfalls that teenage girls encounter. She found the best time to protect teenagers is to start teaching them about sex, boys, and purity in their childhood years. You will also learn how to: ◾help your daughter celebrate her body in a healthy way; ◾unbrand her when the world tries to buy and sell her; and ◾pray for her from the scriptures.

Though daunting, a woman can effectively combine her career ambition with her role as a wife and mother. What she needs is an understanding husband and ability to plan. She can explore aspects of our career that are less demanding. For instance, she could be a lecturer, work in the public service, work as an in-house counsel, or set up a business. I know a banker who takes her children to the office in turns on Saturdays when she's on weekend duty. Her children now look forward to such Saturdays as they get some "mum and me" time. Meanwhile, here's a great book for those who are married or soon to be married. You will find it helpful.

It's sad that this practice (cohabiting) is now very rampant even among ladies from fairly comfortable backgrounds. Parenting does not stop after high school. Parents should visit their children (especially ladies) in the university once in a while. I believe this would help curb the menace.

Sweet memories. This was the only programme Dad allowed me to watch. Once it was 6.30pm on Sundays he would send for me. Even if his friends came to visit at that time, he would tell them it was his daughter's tv time. |
I'm giving out a fairly clean copy of the book "Supernatural Childbirth" by Jackie Mize. It is a practical and realistic look at God’s promises for conception, pregnancy and delivery. You will learn how to put faith principles into action for your very own supernatural childbirth. It also contains faith-inspiring testimonies from women who have followed these principles as well as confessions and prayers for a supernatural conception, pregnancy and childbirth.
