A friend of mine told me this story:

When I was in secondary school in Yola, there was this particular period when a 6 PM to 6 AM curfew was imposed on the town because of religious crises. One night, we broke bounds from the hostel to go have some drinks in town. By the time it was 11 PM we were dead-drunk. While making our way back to the hostel, we met policemen who assayed to accost us. We took to our heels.

Now opposite the school is a cemetery. So while in a haste to escape police arrest, and in our state of drunkenness, we ran into the cemetery thinking it was the school. After jumping a number of graves, our eyes suddenly cleared and we made a u-turn, beat for the school while shouting, 'Help! Ghosts are after us.' The policemen who were chasing after us made their own u-turn and made away from there.

I met this girl in 1998, fell in love with her. But she wouldn't want an affair with me. She said there would never be anything but friendship between us. Nine years later (2007), and after she's had a couple of other relationships, we are together now. And she's crazily in love. She hardly restrains herself from flying into my arms when we are together. We will tie the knots early 2008.

No need to talk much. Money comes first.

On the contrary, she is not cheap. Respect her. She is a woman of substance and is the best material for a wife. Better than ladies who keep emotions bottled up inside for so long, then letting it burst out one day in some foolish way.

1. My voice.
2. My musical talents (singing and instrumentation).
3. My diction, accent (lack of), and elocution.
4. My intelligence - has been tested to be above normal level.
5. My temper - not easily aroused.

Chiori is the best NL name. It's accompanied by pedigree, is rare, is local but has an exotic ring. So settle with that.

Marry a prostitute? No way.

just that? nothing new huh? quite bo'ing

omogenaija:
say hi

if it's babe, if i want to, if she want, then we shag

Christianity is not being stupid. At times some dirty job needs to be done. After all, don't we have born again career diplomats? Don't we have SSS officers who are born again? These are professions that require a lot of lying. So let the lady be. She has no case.

When I started working, I was earning N12,000 monthly for 2 years. (That was in 2003). It was small, I know, for a graduate, but because my Dad taught me a few things about handling money, I didn't mind. I lived within and below my means, doing so much of savings and investment than spending. At the end of those 2 years, my net worth (as at 2005) was N923,015.23 exactly. I was not playing good offense, but I played good defense and see where it got me. Now, with my mentality, and my frugal nature, I can confidently forecast that by the time I am 40 years old, I will be wealthy in 100 million Naira percentile range, and by the time I am 65, will retire without worrying about being a bore on anybody. And certainly, the generation after me will follow in these steps because I will inculcate the culture of frugality in them.

I'd advise the girl to keep her distance from the guy. There is no way he would have genuine interest in her if he eventually got to know what she were thinking of him, except of course curiousity about sexing her. And after that, "to your tents, o Israel". So young lady, it's in your interest to look for something else to focus on. And certainly not a relationship at this stage. You can't gain anything from a love affair now apart from heartbreak and loss of dignity. Trust me! I'm a guy telling you what it'd be if it was me.

good talk

Men rape their wives everyday. This is more prevalent in our society where the woman is perceived to be merely her husband's property.

hia, kedi ihe nee me now. atukwalumu njo.

since one year now ka dis thread si bido, i bia na ju otu oji rue 300 pages

naija_diva:
i want to know, how this thread all of a sudden became 300 something pages.

I wonder.

WesleyanA:
no. religous talk. sometimes debate on religious topics.
or just understanding the bible in general. and different perspectives on what the passages mean.
it's more fun when we discuss amongst ourselves rather than trying to stay awake for 3 hrs of lecture usually targeted at adults/ married people etc.

we usually have an older person in charge. lol
don't be worried for us. you should be more worried for the little kids. lol their generation is rotten

you still aren't justified

The Nigerian girls I have met are romantic. Though, now I am engaged to a Cameroonian.

Wait a minute! We may be getting this whole thing wrong. Read the first post, she only said that she is in love with the guy. She did not mention that the guy is dating her, or that he is sleeping or has slept with her. Maybe she is just putting us on the line. Damn! I hate it when people use my head to sip garri.

No matter what religion you practise, you do not talk insolently to any cleric. It's just never done. What I am saying is, no matter your grouse, do not insult any religious leader.

One thing you must know. Pastor Oyedepo does not run CU. He has a board that does it, and I can even bet he knows nothing of this development. You know how those surrounding big men insulate them from news. So don't blame him. His is Church business, and his academicians take care of the school. Don't use this opportunity to insult God's servant. That one, God Himself will respond to you personally. So, guard your comments.

amen!

I dodge Third-Class degree seriously.

Bad case. He is in for it. But the annoying thing is that not only him will pay. We too will be forced to pay for his indiscretion.

This Covenant University affair is an exercise in absurdity. Whoever advised them to tow this line doesn't have their interest at heart.

Sorry for you. I really don't know what to say, but only God can help you out. Maybe the Man of God isn't doing his job properly, or it is you who is resistant to the Spirit of God, through your pride, demonic manipulations, etc.

Exactly.

What Covenant University has done is a slide into the Paleolithic Era. All I can say is, let them carry their school and eat. It's not even that they are the best in Nigeria. We have a lot of alternatives to that school. Period!

Before September 11, it'd have been nothing. But developments since then have merited a review of the Old Order. Meditation of a crime must be treated as the crime itself, for tomorrow, it will become the crime. At least, some lives may have been saved by this timely intervention.

You know, I am beginning to think America made a mistake in unseating Saddam from the seat of power. It's now I know he was the only one for the time being who could keep the quiet going in Iraq. America should have treated Iraq's case how they are treating Pyongyang. Now we are seeing an upsurge in violence which ripples across the globe and even reverberates here in Nigeria.
