i always tell the truth, even when i lie.

See! You ain't no good! But I'm gonna kiss you anyway. I'm kind@ bad myself. Shhh! It's a secret.

I'm doing well too.

True talk. As long as people keep it honest I ain't going to hiss.

How you doing Diddy? Hmmm, every girl has a price. . . what'd'ya mean exactly? You mean posh girls know they can pull ppsh guys so don't wanna settle for less?

Of course you know that i was being sarcastic. But since nothing passes your ego, Bill Clinton was a black president because during and since his presidency, he has done more for "Black Africa" than any non-African has done. I can argue that he did more for Africa than most African Presidents have done or are doing. From Debt Relief to Poverty and AIDS he is a rock star not because he plays the saxophone or because he did not sleep with you, but for his actions while in government and since leaving office. Many Black folks in Black Africa and in the Diaspora respect him for his actions not for his bed manners or musical skills. Obba Babatunde is a "Nigerian named US Born and bred actor" and i should give him credence? Y

No I didn't know you were being sarcastic. And no, nothing makes it past my ego. . .perhaps you meant that as an insult, no matter.

Anyhow no, Bill Clinton is not & was not a Black President. Doing things for Africa does not make someone "black". It can make them "great" "good", "charitable" but no, it can't make them "black". Does doing something great for children make a man a child himself? The US gives nearly $4million/annually to Israel as a gift. Does that make the US a Jewish govt or Jewish state? The only people who think "yes" are neo-Nazis. What's your own opinoin? You must have one sha. I know nothing makes it past your ego.

I think the question should be why do guys fail to appreciate girls who stay with them in times of need ? --- I stayed with this guy for 2yrs, paid his rent , fed him , drove my car like his, infact no one knew he was jobless, then i went broke, , he kept pulling me along that he had financial plans, eventually, he left me in serious debt all because I couldn't cope anymore --- so what do you call this ? for someone like me shouldn't i lay my card s on the table ?

Well er you went a bit farther than I would've but you're point is still valid.

My contribution: I wouldn't leave him but this happens everyday in every society. I think it's excusable if one partner thinks the other is lazy or unmotivated. If one partner is simply greedy than it hurts but you are better off w/o him/her (though it doesn't seem that way t/o the tears). Interesting to note many people (especially men) choice their careers for the increased mating status. As in "I'm a be a ball player so I can get a gang o' hoes" or even doctor, engineer, blah blah blah. Men often "trade up" after they've reached their new economic status so ya'll are none to innocent.

You people are always abusing girls that want better things.How many of you will actually ignore posh girls and go and date omo alata?Few.So why do girls always get the blame for having good tastes?Or is there something wrong with being high maintainance?

Spiked you ain't never lied. And that's the truth. How you livin mama?

Old Glory:

He(Obba) is not even Nigerian by any stretch of the imagination. If Layi is looking for someone to look up to, i suggest he starts with Bono, or our real and only Black president William Jefferson Clinton.

So this man can't be African/Nigerian but Bill Clinton is black? Please quit. Please.

Just 'cause Billy Boy plays the saxophone & bleeps w/ ugly white girls doesn't make him black. The mere suggestion is offensive. People can be allies w/o being "race traitors". Come on folks, let's be more progressive than this ish.

dafman:

How many rich Nigerians have donated even 1% of their wealth to anything other than chieftaincy titles and vain glory.

Nice post Dafman. This spoke to me the most. Sad but true. . .

Never Want to Pay Full Price For Anything.

LMAO! Sounds like my mom. But you know, she has a tab at the local African Food Store (she pays it whenever) & it's spoiled her so she doesn't know why other stores don't do it. I love her though, she's my Mum sha!

Who Knew Paris Hilton Could Sing? Nobody.

And they still don't.

I know, I know, she's laughing all the way to the bank.

Another ashewo in action.

These girls reppin' & shakin' it for Naija ooo!

@Blue
Say mama, can I ask you something on YIM?

@Diddy
That dude (on page 1 talking bout green cards) I think he meant that in most cases a person must be married for at least 2 years to become a citizen. Even if you file papers before (which a person should) if you do not live together as a married couple for 2 years, you don't get your citizenship. How you been?

@Praetor
My sister, tell your friend to research every avenue very very well. But if it comes to marriage then that is not the worse thing. Try & find another African - I know other Africans will help with this - but she should study the person well well! Is there anyone from home (now in the US) who'd be willing to sign for her? Best wishes!

cjloejade:

at what age do you believe that you can fall 'in love' and it not just be a crush?

Depends on the person but I think 16 - 18 are the ages when people are "capable" of going beyond crushes into the realm of love. I was 18. . .

Seun:

I'm waiting for the list.

I wanted you to make a list, Seun. I thought it'd be more to you that way.

Diddy you know I got you!

I also don't see anything wrong with it. It's best to find a willing person & be honest w/ them though.
