[B]Mr Acid, EEeeew! [/B]

@Eve,

Cool, driving boats?
are you kidding,
sometimes i envy u guys out there.

i can't wait for my real life to take shape!

Wetin na!  You should be happier I was able to resist the urge to come.  Those boogers in my nose would have come flying out in all directions.

Please find a way to unsingle yourself quick. Let me know if I can be of any assistance in that department.

Hello hw u dey

 OMG! Are you really?  The extra p[i]e[/i]nis on my nose just suffered an erection.

The emotional turmoil faced by most children from broken homes will leave nasty ass footprints in many things they do. Sometimes it can hurt their love life, and sometimes they can mold their experience into a mirror that helps them prosper. It just depends on who it is.

Are we forming a kind of lesbian sorority on nairaland? _{count me in abeg}

_{ema wo awon eleyi. . . habitual flirters}

I am bound to think a lot of people will answer yes to this topic without a fundamental reason. You should never automatically assume that anyone who does something bad to you will be automatically jilted - as if it's a law set in stone from the medieval ages. I have my reasons for believing in karma. I didn't believe payback is a bit[i]c[/i]h until a recent string of events sent me into a wall of troubles and occasional depression. And no, it's not because I got a girl pregnant in primary 6 and forced her to abort the child.


I'm just starting this thread for the heck of it. Do you believe in karma? If you answer yes or no, explain why.

RedHotChic:
It's still there but not like the movie makers make it to be. Do you know that some yorubas cannot go near their town because of fear of juju and it's not as if they have proof for this juju but they've been watching too many yoruba movies.

blah blah juju is all I hear.  You are barking down the wrong tree.  It is not the responsibility of the movie industry to regulate our people.  They are there by-and-large to entertain -- and to some extent maybe educate us.   Film makers are influenced by revenue and are always looking to maximize their influx of cash.  If these kinds of films are what generate this large lump sum of money for them, nothing you say will be enough to convince them to put a stop to it.  Take a look at hollywood, how many superhero movies have they churned out in the past few years?  . . . Before you answer that question ask yourself if you have ever physically encountered any such superheroes in your life?  None, right?  Should they suddenly dismiss what makes them money based on conditions that it leads people to formulate bloated thoughts that there are sky-soaring superheroes out there waiting to save the world? Killing the juju in nollywood will not magically deflate the already-circulated belief that juju is our moniker.  Don't count on nollywood to save the day.

TOH:
lol Ess that comment was to me and ilu oshi means "useless country"

Nigerians hate the truth as you know.

Since you're one of us it is all inclusive.

the unsound assumption that a man thinks of a woman 24/7 is fool's gold to a hallucinatory woman.

Iraq anyone??
Somalia??
Liberian backed sierra leonian limb choppers.
They were recently on show in Kenya.
They still stone people to death in pakistan.
It's wrong. But, it isn't a Nigerian thing.[/quote]you are right on target.

I would think it's a toss up between the two.  Engineering is more notoriously known for its brutal and insane undergrad difficulty.  Medical doctors on the other hand are put through a comparable test in medical school.  The amount of work you have to go through to become a MD is ridiculous.  Stress is the engineer's best friend.  The insurmountable amount of work absolutely keeps you on your tippy toes.

Both drain you mentally and physically.  Only the strongest of the strong survive; wholesome stamina is needed.

Attention to detail is compulsory in both fields. One screw up by the medical doctor could be the loss of a life, or a missed significant figure by the engineer could send a building collapsing.

Blingirl:
Who mentioned equations? Una fit try the chemical complex pathways wey dey biochemistry?

You could have imployed a better argument. Walking the equation path will easily dash the engineers the victory. Chemical complex pathways is nothing foreign to chemical engineers, be sure of it lol.

@stephen

in a sense that im totally secure with myself. that i don't need to put a tracker on my man to feel that he would be faithful. i have the trust in my man that he sees no need to be watched 24/7.

24/7 is impossible. Funmi you again!

oyinye.
fairytales.

that's how it should be.  you can put it to practice but I assure you it won't last long.  Your natural instincts of curiosity will peak somewhere and you will begin to become suspectful of your spouse.

Nigerians buy food off the street all the time; it is our trademark. Don't be silly.

madamkoko:
I think that women sometimes find men who are book smart BORING.

SO lots of men who are book smart, don't start getting marriage options until after théy've made wealth.

Sorry to say but most men who are book smart are not the most attractive/they don't dress well/don't have much social skills until later in life.

Please correct me if i'm wrong.

I was beginning to agree with you up until I read your comment about unattractive, whatever.
You're confusing them with nerds don't you think?

It's good to have both.

I don't eat pork either.

mallam, shut up.

No i don't have a point o. my comment shouldn't be taken seriously at all.

OMG tenkobo junkie! You should be done.  If you have something tangible or in disagreement to share, please do so.  Don't skirt around the comment like a directionless clown.  Who else is responsible for the downfall of the economy?  Why are the people laying heavy blames on Bush and his people for the state of the economy?  ROFLMAO this girl, na wa.


Of course I wouldn't infer total operation, but yes, predominantly. mumu.

Even Obama, everybody current favorite all-american, believes the economy is government-run, though  oppressive.  And globalization also has an influence in the direction of the American economy, everyone knows this.

ladyolis:
i heard a lot of naija man are hearding to Zimbabwean women, why??what do they have that we son't have

There is the mugabean influence which naija women surely lack. _{kidding o}

People are attracted to America mostly due to the luster of its economy.  The government operates the economy, whereas the people operate the government.  In Nigeria the people have no say and are definitely not allowed to run the darn government.  Who is ensuring that the government does its job . . . ? There is no system of checks and balances, just governmental superiority in all matters.

onyinye2:
and we all know that the gov't is corrupt right. we can agree on that. so why do we depend so much on them?? we know they are no good but some how feel they will deliver us from the problem. if the PEOPLE don't start to take charge of their country, naija as a whole will demolish and the people with it.

why else did we empower them? is it not to provide us with a nation of hope, stability, growth, etc.  If we don't depend on them, or use religion as our guide, who else should we depend on?

As I mentioned earlier, the vast majority of the people in Nigeria are only interested in their personal well being.  I don 't blame them.  Are you asking iya sule who is selling kuli kuli to carry tray go  police station go protest?  Are you asking iya ngozi wey dey sell kunu  by gutter side to donate 1000 of her hard earned money to fix roads?  Lol.

onyinye, we did not wish to put ourselves in this mess. these semi-literate, hare-brained greedy ass leaders put us in this mess.

onyinye2:
i feel the nigerians themselves should stop waiting around for this want to be president. if you see something wrong in your community, take charge and fix it. you guys know that the Nigeria has so much to offer. but where does that money go, not to good use. instead of importing foreign cars you only drive once, save money and put it to good us. start a committee of people to some how better the roads, the schools, the youth. just a thought.

To each man his own.  The typical Nigerian will always look out for his best interest.  Putting himself first and foremost will always be his priority.  No one wants to take the plunge or invest in a "let's wait and hope to see if it will work" cause.  Basically, your suggestion becomes invalid in a real world, but it is the sensible thing to do in an ideal setting.

Definitely! Some of our rulers probably cater to a foreign committee; similar to how Bush has been known to sell his manhood to the Saudi.

First put a government in place that is structured toward the betterment of the people, a government that puts the people before bribery and its selfish greed.  We need to start somewhere, right?

How is naija going to achieve a clean slate when it appears the prsident changes every 4 years, maybe, but not the governing body?

Kobojunkie:
Typical. So we should NEVER try what works elsewhere before we condemn it. Just cause we can not imagine it working means it will NEVER WORK For us. Instead,

Of course we should. But do we have the resources in place and the brain power? NO!

Let us continue with what has continued to fail us for over 40 years instead.

ROFLMAO!!

Hi ROFLMAO, we want to change it. Why don't you summarize an agenda that you think will produce this effective change?
