IMHO, every country needs some form of National Service/military training/para military for its youths as a rite of passage.

It builds patriotism and let the youth experience another aspect of their country.

I thoroughly enjoyed my service year and it helped me see/explore the SS part of the country.

Rather than scrap NYSC because of insecurity, why can't they make country more secure?

Would students or traders be stopped from interstate trips? Would Nigerians no longer take interstate trips for leisure?

Followers and Leaders are shameless.

That's why we would have a presidential candidate like Jagaban.

It is well.

Woaw!

Congratulations to them.

Some misogynists have been oppressing the emergence and rights of women since the days of Abraham.

What has misogyny got to do with the OP?

Would the current PM behave differently is the new PM is a man?

The woman apparently was 'allowed' to win because she is the daughter of the first PM and obviously wields a lot of power/influence.

Re-read the OP and see that
1. The current PM is a greedy leader who would do anything to retain power;

2. It is only someone like the new PM that can beat him without foreign intervention or a coup because she also has her backbone.

It is not everytime women should wear the cape of victimhood.

@OP: let's see what happens next.

The current PM can't do anything to the Lady PM except her father loses his power/influence.

Okoroawusa:
So you agree that you people have been doing the proposal since time immemorial?

It is not called 'proposal', it is called 'giving green light'.

In matters like this, it is wise for the recipients to confirm their satisfaction.

femi4:
Wrong, Good things doesn't come to you without effort. You have to go for it.

There is a difference between flirting/showing a man green light (to show you are available aka like him) and chasing him.

A man after deciding you are worth his attention/affection/body does the chase.

luminouz:
Yinmu....but if na man kneel down, will you gimme all this story?

Bukatyne...Goan cook for me...

My comment is obviously above your pay grade.

Have a nice day.

luminouz:
Una no see how cutevand strong looking that guy is?
She knows she needs to ring that or lose that naaaa

In a case where there is no mutual love, It is easier for a man to buy/coarse/seduce/possess a woman in a long term relationship than vice versa.

So if she is 'putting' a ring on 'it' because she doesn't want to lose him, she never had him in the first place.

And she probably never will.

Okoroawusa:
Women have been proposing to men since marriage proposal started, it's just that their mode of proposal is not popular.
When a woman goes to the market,buys foodstuffs,goes to her boyfriend's house,cooks, serves him the food then fvcks his brains out and as they are relaxing on the bed she says, "I want to be the mother of your children" or "I will love you forever"... that one no be proposal?

That's how a woman should be.

The man has to desire to marry her for her to enjoy him.

Apart from the dressing, the husband seems unhappy to marry the bride.

I wonder why a woman would force a man to marry her.

It is better to be husbandless than to have an unwilling husband.

Husbandlessness is zero balance;
Unwilling husband is negative balance.

BRATISLAVA:
Common politeness has been lost through parents feeling their children owe no one anything. That is true, but the end results are disastrous in the community project called Nigeria.

Modern children today are altogether way too disrespectful, and it is their parents that encourage and enforce the disrespect. How many parents teach their children to greet or how to be polite nowadays? They feel they want them to have a better life, and to them that means they lose societal norms and become aberrant, sometimes downright rude.

This lack of greeting/respect is noticeable in a particular socioeconomic background.

This is also very noticeable at work.

Oga Tchidi, two down;

You are the problem.

One lady would still tango with you for a third marriage.

How's the romance in vincenzo? Is it the adult hot and sizzling type ?
I've read a lot on that movie but I'm probably the only wierdo who doesn't have a thing for that vincenzo actor despite his fine face.

I would watch SJK fetch water for a month.

The romance was at the back burner. It is more of revenge and dark comedy.

Beautiful pictures, God continually bless their home.

descarado:
Watched Vincenzo.
Good story line and excellent acting from all.

I hope I can.........don't even know what to call it
SJK was splendid.
But, I can't call this mafia drama. There are key elements in mafia drama that's missing. Also, I didn't see that burning passion that depicts all mafia drama. It started like mafia and progressed like normal kdrama.
They shouldn't have added romance or they should have researched on how mafia guys love their women. I think maybe, because of Korean culture, they didn't explore that angle cos of backlash but these people should just grow up and from what I saw, SJK was equal to the task. Another person that surprised me was Taec. Guy has improved so much and is aging well too. I really enjoyed him very well. Big bear

@bold:

All the comment I needed in this post

Glad you enjoyed Vincenzo.

captainhoo:
Currently watching secret garden and I'm having a good time especially with the switched soul events. Lolz.

Lee jong suk be looking cool as usual (runs to hide before his fangirls comes for my head)

@bold:

To think I started Pinnochio because of you, this life na per head

It is an interesting watch so far.

BRATISLAVA:
Maybe the OP knows something nobody else knows. Perks.

Festflor:
Utter rubbish.
This is how it's supposed to be.
Otherwise the man is enslaved for life.

I don't care about men kneeling or not during proposals however, this picture looks off.

@OP: Funny

@Comments: Funnier.

If the Church would not wed a pregnant couple, how does the bride bear/face the shame alone?

Do the churches marry the husbands or do they call only the wife out?

Considering that the average Nigerian Church's stance is that sex and its consequences are actions men 'do' to women, your OP does not hold water.

Besides, the OP has no single perk of pregnancy before marriage or specifically, marrying with pregnancy.

If you want to get pregnant before marriage, please do and conduct your marriage where it is accepted.

End of story.

texazzpete:
Ironically, the writer lives in the United States.

In other words, someone who has executed her plan B and who is at zero risk from Boko haram, ISWAP, kidnappers, SARS etc is telling you not to japa.

Why the long and unnecessary focus on the trans-sahara journey that illegal immigrants take? When she went to the US, did she go through the desert to Italy first?

In this country, just use your sense. Don’t let these people deceive you.

@bold:

If the author was in Nigeria, I would have been pleasantly surprised.

Maybe she went through the desert that's why that is the only route to the US.

CardiNice:
Most sensible comment here.
Men that go to the western world and fall to situations like this, didn't do their research very well.
Every western constitution has a loophole, find that loophole and no court can take what Is yours in this life.

Recently the white wife of one of my uncles left the marriage in USA and the court didn't allow her take anything, not even the car she drives.
How on earth my uncle was able to do that baffled me but like he said, he had prepared for the situation even before he got married.

If you cannot vouch that your wife (since we are talking to men) is 'different' and geninuely loves you, then do your findings properly before bringing her to the West.

Understand the laws and loopholes to your advantage and disadvantage. Understand how you are expected to conduct yourself and study around from other's mistakes on what you should and shouldn't do.

The above is a grim situation and I can't survive in a marriage like that however if the bird has learnt to fly without perching, the hunter has to learn to shoot without aiming.

thorpido:
Old things have passed away........the womb that has passed nko?

You can't build on lies.Tell the truth.There are men who will accept you that way and are open to adoption.

I myself dear quoting of Bible passage.

Fourth wife getting jealous of fifth wife.

Na wa oooo....

What is the back story?

Besides, I believe Nigerian men (Nigerian women seem smart enough to use the system to their advantage) should logistically study the system and understand it to their advantage.

How can the same thing affect your grandfather's generation, father's generation and now yours?

Now on this thread, peeps are justifying the wife throwing the husband out because his name is not on the lease/tenancy agreement.

How is this different from Baba Mufu throwing out his wife because he built the house or pays the rent alone?

captainhoo:
Has anyone watched pinnochio? Would love a review apart from the movie description. I'm eyeing it because of my thing for lee jong suk but there is no big buzz about the series. Thanks

Maybe because it's old?

I checked online and it has high ratings.

Google:95%; IMDB: 81% and MyDramaList: 84%

If you like to read recaps before watching, trying going through the below

Bonus: they have good kissing scenes.

kangminhyuksho:
LOL @obi is a boy, it is well with Nigeria, wow I'm surprised to hear that you no longer "dig" song joong ki, he's everything, any Vincenzo has ended so you can start watching it

@bold:

I agree.

There is something about him that draws me to him (his works).

I don't want his wives here to pour acid on me

I thought it was Jim Iyke.

I was going to say he doesn't strike me as a good husband material.

Congratulations to the couple. I hope they keep the excitement up forever.

captainhoo:
I thought I was the only one that felt the romance scenes in cloy was not enough.
Nice analysis from you and bukatyne
It's why I prefer the 16+ k series on Netflix.
I love the romance in secretary Kim. I'll appreciate recommendations for series with mature romance scenes

The act or the emotional feeling?

You are a bad child

Watch Gran Hotel (Spanish) Season 1 Episode 7 and Season 2 Episode 7.

Rocktation:
@bukatyne

1. Omg...I don't think I know who that is.

2. Don't mind them. She could have still gone on to kill herself, without needing to drop Se-ri off at the beach. Unless, they'd tell us that the urge suddenly took her at the beach, which will still make her a weirdo.

3. I was thinking of the Otedolas during these scenes and how money can make any character, pliant. Fictional or real.

4. Thank you! I couldn't say this enough. I wonder why these Koreans shy away from doing stuff, correctly. People that were literally inseparable could not have a scene that is suggestive of love-making or even provide us with a proper kiss. That is mostly why Secretary Kim trumps most other kdramas. They didn't have time to waste time.

5. The final episode even added more ambiguity to their romance. Why would she be needing to stay at a hotel for two weeks, "as usual", when the apartment in the end looked like the dude's abode with their pics displayed everywhere? I wonder what they are forming.

6. Oh, I love you already. Thank you.

1. The guy who eavesdrops on discussions for the bad guy

2.

3. I don't think it's money though. They seemed to be very emotional intelligent though. They were also nice to the 'low life's soldiers and even offered asylum to them. I read they consulted some North Korea defectors to SK so the life portrayed in NK was accurate.

4. Maybe it was a daytime/ family series. There is a goodbye kissing scene in their first speration at the end of Episode 8. I heard some of their movies can be raunchy. I like their take on male/female sexual relationships though so I will take their extreme on physical intimacy to the Western's end. You will like Suspicious Partner and Lovestruck in the City. Funnily, the actor in CLOY had a crazy kissing scene in another series.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMOgFOWR6pc
Like someone opined, their kisses are more intimate and emotionally satisfying than se.x in Western series/movies.

5. Maybe she said hotel to her workers to throw them off? North Korea monitor their citizens outside the country especially the HNIs to prevent defection so she could not openly tell them she was hooking up with ML.

6.

roteblomen:
Do you mean that despite their decency, they are not good enough to be in a relationship? If so, then how about non-decent folks that marries all the time?

What's your definition of decency?

Are you focused on the act of getting hitched or the quality of the marriage/relationship?
