are you in Nigeria? We call it native pear. This one Na big grammar you dey blow. If you go ask for that name you typed there, no one will know what you're talking about.

It is a seasonal fruit. Between May and September or November. When in season, you can find it everywhere in Nigeria and cheaper in the rural areas.

I have never seen where a group of envious people will seek to bring down their own compatriot. Iwaela isn't perfect but she's an asset and a gem

when I heard the thing, I was shocked. The thing don reach this level?

Who's the mofo sef and what's his occupation? Oloribruku somebody

If it was Odetola, he will be termed a good man...

But since it is Ubah (An Igbo Man), he is looking for soft landing!

This is the reason why I insist that there should be nothing like "One Nigeria" and patriotism! No matter what you do as an igbo man which will positively impact on Nigerians as a whole (whether igbo, yoruba and hausa) you will never be appreciated. A very good case study is GEJ! But if you do it as a yoruba man, it will be overblown. What am I even saying?....A yoruba man would never do this kind of thing!

If you are here and say evil of Ubah and criticize him and the fuel crisis is alleviated in your area because of his kind gesture and you buy fuel with ease, may that particular fuel bring about your demise and catch fire which will burn you and disfigure you for life! Amen

Sobeautiful:
Some Nigerians are so dwarfed in reasoning that they think every move these days is to please Buhari or find his favour. As if people were no longer doing good or existing before Buhari became president-elect. Since Buhari won, this nonsense has gone on a long time in this NL. Everyone that coughs is coughing for Buhari's attention or to be in his good book. Funny. I don't think it's everyone that's interested in being in alliance with the ruling govt so as to loot Nigerian people's money. Issues can no longer be discussed without insinuating that the person involved wants to gain something from the in-coming government. This is all some people know and it shows a lot of us lack the idea of what good governance is.

thats the irritating this about buharists that has made coming to this politics section a bore.

I wonder how a group of humans can be all xtupid without one person having sense among them

Some foods you can't even taste the flavor just hot burning pepper
There is no vitamin in pepper that you can't get from tomatoes
Eating some food in people's homes is like punishment while trying to be polite

all4naija:
I having some headache this early morning, possibly caused by trying to eat a Nigeria food with some pepper in it the previous day. Hot pepper might be rich in vitamin B but it is not highly recommended for a healthy life. It is time Nigerians quit using hot pepper in most of their cooking. Jeez!

Hmm I love pepper. For me, it has no nutritional value but it goes so well my Nigerian palate.

I only use small pepper when I'm cooking for others too. But if I'm gonna eat it alone, I don't play with the pepper. My body is used to it. No kind of reactions whatsoever.

Must people complain about everything?
What's wrong with that post?

See who's talking. Obasanjo can be very annoying.
Hypocrite. #fact

Gold digger

No I meant : the fact that you can be ogled when dressed decently makes it ok for someone to find it (ogling) offensive.

I've told you I'm indifferent to the bare-it-all movement. Why are you still pitching me in that argument. I'm not for or against it.

The thing about ogling
*is it possible more women complain about it than men do because the tendency to feel unsafe when a strange man is ogling her is greater than it is for a man who finds a strange woman ogling him?
So the women who do complain about that have a good reason to and it is not about criminalizing it to discriminate against men.


That said, many women still find ogling inoffensive. Especially if they are among people and not in immediate possible danger.To them it means they are being admired

pickabeau1:
hhahaha... see logic

so the fact that you can be ogled when dressed decently is sufficient justification to move around toppless..HAHHAHA

read up on the antics of feminists... i thought u were one...
they want to make sex based on consent forms.. they want to criminalize ogling... ogling = sexual assault

If one or two feminists complain and no one else speaks to say they dont represent what the ideology is all about... what else will we say




so why is ogling being rephrased as a man thing and being criminslised

Let me try the little I can.

*the rule is about making veggies 50percent of your diet, proteins 30 percent and carbs 20. (Efe am I right?)

* the food addiction thing is real tough could be hard to let go. Just start by not buying anything you don't strictly need in your diet. Eat before you go food shopping so that you're not tempted to buy everything that comes your way. Drink lots of water before and between meals as it will help you feel fuller and reduce the amount you eat. If you go out or to a party, eat before you go so that the tempted to over-eat there will be low. Especially as those party foods are generously soaked in vegetable oil which is a whooping 120 calories per tablespoon.

*i've been counting calories and I have to tell you it works like magic. As an adult, you burn an average of 2,000 calories a day without exercising. With exercise, you could burn 2,500 or 2,700. If one meal at a time contains up to 1000 calories, that's bad for you because by the time you've done 3meals like that in day, you've excess calories to store away and that equals to weight gain. Example one burger is around 600 calls. Add fries(400 calories or more) and that's around one thousand for that meal alone. Then sizeable Eba for lunch with oily egusi and fried rice soaked in veggie oil for dinner. My sister do the math na. One month of that kind of eating will help you gain many pounds.

So for starters, get a tiny kitchen scale. Whenever you buy food, read the calorie content per serving and know how many grams or pounds one serving is. Then measure with your scale and you will be sure how many calories you're consuming at that particular moment. I try to keep my calories content around 1,300 a day. So that even if I don't exercise that day, I'll be sure to be in deficit as my normal daily metabolism will burn more than I consumed. Buy foods with low calories content per serving. But don't starve yourself. That will make you just over eat next time or make your body reduce its metabolic rate as adaptation to lack of food.

Efe,edwife,babe or chilli can help you with your exercise regimen. I no sabi for that side. I only do my eliptical training twice a day and sometimes go to the gym with hubby.

ameenahz:
Hello ladies. I have been an observer for a while and I must say, you are trying.

I need help and I am sure someone here can help me out.

I am in my late twenties. I have always been big but it has gotten worse ever since I had my baby. At some point, I was serious with exercising and I actually lost 9kg in 2 months. Somehow I lost all will power and let myself go again and it is even worse now (Moving dangerously close to 100kg). I truly need help.

My questions:

1. What is the 50-30-20 rule about?
2. Most of the veggies I see here are not available in Nigeria. Can anyone suggest good alternatives?
3. How do I get over food addiction?
4. I need simple but effective exercises for beginners. Any suggestions? NB: Chest always gets in the way.


Thank you all in advance.

pickabeau1:
So why do feminists want to make ogling a crime then compound it by walking bra less

That's because the two don't always go hand in hand. You could be ogled even when dressed decently.

Now pls who told you feminists want to make ogling a crime?
If one feminist or two complains about it, does that suddenly mean that's what the feminism movement is all about?

Not this feminist thingy again today.

pickabeau1:
Hahaha.....

What do you have to say....
cococandy

nohting to say. I never believed women don't ogle guys.

Gay or not, sexual harassment is a big offense.
Even if you're a girl and he did that to you, it wouldn't make it less bad.

Pls be careful around that environment if you believe he's being sexually inclined towards you.
That's bad for your career.

And he's still flying first class

Lienus OP

First of all,she needs counseling. As a matter of urgency. Pls help her get it if possible.
Losing a child especially when she's wanted it for so long can be very traumatizing. I don't need to experience that to know it. I can almost feel her pain. Pls seek professional help on her behalf.

*********
On a general note, this is why it is not good to expect so much from life. It helps when one has at the bottom of their consciousness that anything can happen to anyone. All those notions "I was a Virgin, why am I suffering this while the randy girl is having it easy": is just us thinking we deserve to be rewarded for something we think we've done right and then when it doesn't come, we begin to feel something somewhere is punishing us.

Life can be random like that. It does not mean she's created to feel pain. Pls tell her to remove that line from her mind.

naijababe:
Omo you dey miss o. It is super delish

will you kindly share recipe?

This is the height of it
This is an experiment worth carrying out.

What I do sometimes is when I'm walking behind a lady, I slow down and mentally note the number of guys who turn and ogle at her as she passes and I always find it this funny too.

Maybe I should try to note how many ladies ogle at a nice looking guy too:

So yea,no one can really control who stares at them.

pickabeau1:
The catcalls are bad and could emote unease

I actually meant ogle...though ogles descend into catcalls over time

Check out this video

FrancisTony:
The Zulu's of Southafrica also don't cover breasst.

oh good. I know there's more too

I've not seen the video you talk about.

I do think cat-calls are disrespectful.
And yes modestly dressed women get cat-calls too. It's something I got used to expecting whenever passing any area densely populated by males. Some guys don't even know it is disrespectful. They just do it because they've learned to.

I don't know how the argument to make them unlawful as part of sexual harassment would sound,but I agree that someone should do something about it.

While in school, I'd be coming back from school and get the random guy form nowhere giving me the . "Psst! Fine girl! I'm calling you. Abi you no dey hear?"

And stuff like that.

The first reaction would be to tense and hope the person walking behind you doesn't walk to fast and leave you alone on a lonely road with some guy that thinks it's ok to verbally assault you sexually.

pickabeau1:
If women want to exhibit their wares for people to see....there are avenues to do this

Playboy et al will do this
Strip clubs are available

Why must they bring this to the mainstream

I like the point you raise on ogling..anf the fact that it is out of your
However have you not heard of the lady who said catcalls she got when walking on a street evidence sexism..

It's somewhere on youtube

Have u seen d vid

pickabeau1:
Good we are getting somewhere

I never disagreed with your assertion however I believe such cultures are or were in the minority hence I asked for possible examples

What I strongly believe is that coverage of the bReâsts was more or less mandated for women who were married and less so for maidens

What they want is for the nipplès Not to be censored in media(print, social)
They also want to be able to walk down the road with our being ogled

However ladies also ogle toplêss men so o don't know how that is possible

Well I think it's hardly going to be possible now because the matter of nudity is no longer just a social matter. It has become religious too. Plus the issue of personal principles.
The most I think they could achieve is freedom to be bare without being arrested for public nudity.
As for ogling,you can't control who looks at you. That's just silly.

And the battle for media uncensoring will be long a-waging. Whose sensibilities will be insulted? Whose will be respected? It is never going to be unanimous. Media companies love their money. They are not ready to lose subscribers because they now show stuff that puts some folks off. (Except it brings more subscribers than those who unsubscribe out of disgust)

Let's see where it goes.

handie:
it was as if they told her that Buhari was at the airport

Gosh. Nonsense if I ever heard some.

pickabeau1:
I never saw it as an argument perhaps you did
No problem then

I still believe the breasts being sexual objects predate colonial days and it is not a modern thing

ok make that 'debate'

But modern or not, it hasn't always been sexual for all cultures all over the world.
Things just changed. ( as they are wont to)

These campaigners want hope to change it again I guess.

Chillisauce:
They sell well packaged salads. No excuse at all.
Make I long throat you small.

Curry chicken with mushrooms

I can't deny myself some pleasures this particular weekend o.
I've come down to 57kg.

Only small remaining before I get to my goal. I will only feel a bit guilty for this cheating days

The forum angle was a joke but ok let us take it seriously. Those guys that come here to complain are real people who see it as abnormal and not natural so they come here to complain. That's for you to know how sexualized it has become.

Nice twist with the shame line. I forgot who was arguing with. Next thing now you will interprete that I said having boobs is something to be ashamed of.(i.e- covering breastss = covering shame.)

I clearly meant being breast nudee has become something to be ashamed of because we humans have made it so.

You know what? Make we drop the topic.

pickabeau1:
Interesting you see covering of the bReâsts as something to cover shame and not even decency or propriety


Let me even bring another angle

I saw it as a means of men preserving their goodies for themselves and not others...ditto the Arab culture

The old women who have nothing to offer can display their wares as much as possible

No one cares



Breastfeeding is very natural
You guys should stop using opinions on forums to judge the real world

pickabeau1:
Erm....still not answering

I asked did married women in Igbo land fo about toplêss

For the sexually developed girls..going toplêss was a means of advertising their wares..yes or no

After marriage..did they still remain toplêss?

nobody said it was about advertisement. Na you dey add that one.

Yes the mode of dressing was different for married women, yet it wasn't about shame. Since they could still bath in the open streams and the occasional old lady could go out into the market with bare breastss. My grandma told me our generation spoilt the world because her own mother and grandma used to go out bare chest. At least I believe she saw with her own eyes what she's talking about.

They breastfed their children anywhere regardless of who was present. Try to breastfeed in public today and see five guys come on nairaland to open thread on your head

The boobs have become overtly sexualized.

Although I'm indifferent to the bare-it movement. Maybe a little intrigued.

I mean already sexually developed girls.
I mentioned Igbo and you're saying I'm being vague. Ok.

THe bottom line is 'uncivilized' (mostly tropical) societies are marked by nudityy. What other proof do you need to know that covering up is an invention not something inborn in all humans?

we sexualized the breasts.
Not that there is something wrong with that(in my opinion) but let's not be like those saying it don't know what they are saying.

Their life, their choice.

pickabeau1:
Don't be vague

You say young girls....of course bReâsts don't appear till puberty...

they also displayed their wares at maiden dances...to be selected by men

When they were wifed..did they also go topless in Igbo land..yes or no

Simple

Went through Everett border.
(Vancouver city)

This is my first time in Canada though. I think I like it.

ladygogo:
@veave. lol. You can start by reducing your portions and adding more veggies and fruits to your diet because doing it cold turkey can be difficult. Cheating once in a while is ok too and yours truly has been cheating like crazy.
In the past few days I have had sweet and salty popcorn, ovaltine buiscuits, iced cappucino with cream, jollof rice(the devil) etc. but i know I will have to do more jumpsquats and pressups in the coming days.

It just takes a lot of determination.



@cococandy What Canadian city borders where you live?

You even wrote the isi ewu on the label
