mtprofessor5:Truly you are an "empty professor". |
eightsin:Very apt! |
[quote author=acidtalk post=30065172]The election is less than a month away and so many people are still yet to decide on the candidate to be voted for especially in the post of President. I am neither an APC nor PDP member but i will want us to have a PUBLIC DEBATE on both the pros and cons of the two major candidates vying for the position of President in their respective parties in person of Let us have debaters who are staunch supporters of the two major candidates coming to sell their candidate to the millions of Nigeria populace. Lets have debate topics centered on the following : Security Health Youth Empowerment Corruption Governance Economy Agriculture Rule Of Law Transparency Social Development The debate should be based on FACTS, EVIDENCE, and RECORDS. Vulgal words and backlashes should be curtailed as much as possible. [/quote You are neither an APC nor PDP supporter you claim, so what's with the underhanded way you crossed out the DR in the president's name? What exactly are you implying with that cheeky move? |
2scorehigh:You are vulgar and devoid of any thinking faculties whatsoever. WHAT gave birth to you? You really shouldn't be allowed anywhere near decent folk. |
How about this one?

Lisaflex:This happened to me during my service year, the only difference being that it was morning and just as the person was leaving I saw his/her form from the corner of my eye. I jumped out of bed to the sitting room of the corper's lodge and saw no one. Mind you, the sitting room in question was so long that no one could have made it across and out that fast. Also, just like the post above, I was wide awake, felt the weight on my bed but was frozen and couldn't do anything until whatever it was left. |
yinxfun:Please ask him O. @OP laughing seriously at your post. It's funny but practical. |
denedene:Its supercalifragilisticespialidocious |
7lives:Do these things happen? They do. Happened to my family when my youngest sister died. However, I cannot claim to have an explanation for it. Life is one big mystery. My grouse (so to speak) is with the comment above especially the part about 'old bones rising again'. The worst thing you can do to a grieving person who is still in shock and has most likely not come to terms with the demise of a loved one, is to offer false hope. It is cruel and dangerous regardless of how noble your intentions are. The best thing you can do for such a person is find a way to help him/her accept the loss and move on. |
@chibic: nah, it may look that way but it isn't necessarily so. I still remember the shock I felt when a friend of mine said to me "...afterall we all cheat." The thing is the bad gets talked about so much that the good seems to dwindle into obscurity. There are many good marriages and faithful couples out there. |
@ chibic: I can confidently tell you that I have not cheated before, not while we were courting and not in our over 5 years of marriage so don't go making sweeping statements. @Op: let your husband know you saw his conversation with said girl. Do it calmly. Tell him you are disappointed. Afterwards keep your cool. Do not show that you are hurt. Be happy, polite but slightly distant. Once he begins to feel insecure he'll do a 360 degree turn HOPEFULLY. Above all remain prayerful and trust in God. He always comes through when you trust in him. |
You built a house right after your service year? Get ready, single ladies will nearly break down that your door to get to you. On a more serious note, congratulations! May God bless your new home. |
@EfemenaXY: sorry, my bad. I remember it was debrief. Got you guys mixed up. |
@taryour: this your pregnancy was one chopping galore. Kai! Begging for corn in the bus. Pregnancy is one funny business. Remember u from the pregnancy thread. @1one, glad I could make u laff. @efe: no be u gist us dat ur corn in the market episode? |
Being a married woman myself, I have nothing but disgust for ladies who sleep with and/or have affairs with married men. So madam OP carry your cross yourself. Like my mum will say, "you cooked the soup, so eat it!" |
So happy to see this thread. Someone once opened a thread like this and it was very hilarious. Please let's keep the stories coming. Unfortunately, I had absolutely no cravings when I was preggers. In fact, it was an extremely uneventful pregnancy. But my mom told me that during one of her pregnancies, she was craving palm wine so she was stylishly passing a joint where it is sold. She said the way she was eyeing the mugs of palmy, one old man called her in and offered her a mug reassuring her that she had nothing to be ashamed of and that it was the baby in the womb that needed a drink. She then proceeded the guzzle the large mug of palm wine like her life depended on it. Another time, she said it was peppered rice she saw a mobile food vendor selling to the mechanics when she took her car for repairs. She sharpally bought some, but was too ashamed to eat it in front of the mechanics, but she didn't want popsy to see it either. So, on her way home, she just parked at the side of the road and wolfed the whole thing down. |
@aisha: I am giving you an e-hifive now. Hubby once dragged me to go visit some friends without prior notice. I didn't approve and said so, and when we got there, I could tell the couple we went to see would have preffered we informed them of our intention to visit. If a guest turns up uninvited in my home, I'd probably let him/her in but with a subtle "You should have let me know you were coming" Anyway, its the naija way. |
@OP, it's actually " I couldn't care less" which makes perfect sense Oh sorry. Just saw you already stated that. Great observations by the way. |
To those saying UNN is not as bad as the OP painted, I say it is a lot worse. I was there a while ago for an event and we stayed in one of the hostels. The next morning, we visited the bathroom and I can't even begin to describe what I saw. Overflowing toilets, female students defecating into custard buckets and hurling in the general direction of the toilets, all these seemed to be the norm. The bathrooms were so filthy that most of the girls elect to take their bath along the corridor leading into the bathroom and when a friend of mine who was mortified at the idea of taking her bath out in the corridor, tried to enter the bathroom, she slipped and fell on the very slimy floor. It was bad, very bad. |
I served in Akwa Ibom with this silly guy, even travelled from lagos to orientation camp in the same bus with him and I remember him to be one effeminate nuisance. Everyone just had to notice him all through the three weeks we were at camp. It was also the same year he proudly announced his 'gayness' on Funmi Iyanda's show. I try to be very tolerant of people and their ideologies but homosexuals, I just can't stand. |
No reason not to, but still I won't. |
I am shocked at the responses I am seeing here. The OP may be joking, but what if he is serious? What have you all achieved with your insensitive comments? Pushing another human being over the cliff abi? Christianity and islam all teach brotherly kindness. If your brother, sister or friend was going through tough times would you tease and taunt the person? If you offer a few encouraging words, you may just be saving a soul and it would cost you nothing. Let us be careful to treat others as we would like to be treated, and should we need help in future may we find it. |
@carefreewannabe: it would be "absolute nonsense" to respond to your question. |
This happened to me a few years ago. A friend of mine wanted to give my child her children's used clothes and I said NO. She got angry but I didn't care. Those insulting the OP probably live outside naija in countries where this practise is not perceived as an insult. Here in naija it is. It's like saying the man can't afford to clothe his kids. So oga poster, say NO. Let no one look down on your kids. |
Mothers please take care of your children yourselves. If a job will not let you bring up your children then save up and start a business that will allow you care for your kids yourself. You did not give birth to them for a nanny, househelp or creche and no one will love them like you do. No job no matter how high paying, is worth the life of a single child. Fellow mothers, let us always remember that our kids are our most prized posessions. |
Good manners are certainly a good example for kids, but if you are married to an unfeeling man, then no amount of good manners will help. |
I actually thought this was about the moral decadence the show promotes and celebrates. Yes the show is worthless, but for reasons other than the OP's. |
So sorry about your loss. Losing a loved one can feel like a sucker punch but be strong, turn to God and family. Make sure you are in the company of family and/or friends as often as possible. Time will not make you forget but it will make the pain lighter. Now may be a good time to start or learn something new. You will always be in my prayers. May God bless and fortify you. |
