Love, happiness, contentment and a sense of belonging. When one has all these one blooms and feels on top of the whole world. When one is happy from within, it shows on the outside.

Oh my God!!!

Only serious response please, this aint no joke.
I am a young lady I can confidently say very pretty and all. I have had boyfriends and all. But I am attracted to women. A guy can can be naked in front of me, and i don't go gaga or turned on a bit, it has come to the point that I start getting irritated of seeing a guy's naked body. NO ONE should tell me i need Jesus or i need deliverance, because that is no news to me. I can't help who I am attracted to. Funny thing is I used to be so against gays. I need your advise or suggestions.

You're the only one that has the answer. Nobody can tell you if you're a lesbian or not. You need to find that out yourself.

Man proposes, God disposes!

My wedding is coming up by April and I have designed this website http://www.ewedding.com/sites/queen for my wedding invitation. But there is so much presure from my family, my inlaws, and even my fiancee that we must print Wedding Cards. Its not that I cannot afford it, but is it really a amust that there must be cards?

I don't understand this! Are you going to send this link to everybody you know, family and friends to activate and print out the invite themselves or just read on line. So what if they don't have access to the internet? Or they simply can't be bothered to check it. I think the right thing to do is print the cards and send to people.

Ha ha ha! very funny!!! Denis would certainly be a successful comic.

My mum used to say to us don't ever look at your shadow while walking in the sun for fear of dying. And on ones wedding day, the bride while dressing or afterwards must not look at herself in the mirror

So this lady is 32years old, has been in the UK for over 10years and still lives with Mum, How old is this mum that takes the beatings?

Almost 60years!

And to think I used to feel it's only me! thanks people.

European colonisation. A lot of them are not aware of the fact that these europeans put on a three piece suit in their country to keep them warm from harsh and cold weather. Have you ever seen our men in big flowing agbada and socks? I have, you see them at weddings and their offices. And they look so pathetic.

Why would anybody just wake up one day and decide to change his name? Beats me! Goodluck all the same.

errr maryam, so who's going to forgive your late hubby?

Nobody. I for one wouldn't for the injustice done to the ordinary man!

Yes, as soon as you come out of the airport in Lagos you see them at their desk. They are all registered with the airport, so I should think safe to use. They take you to wherever you want to go in Nigeria. Expensive though, so be prepared. If you need a car for a couple of weeks you can arrange with any cab driver in your town of residence.

Mr coolier when i got married i keep my surname for a reason but now i have a one year old baby who have is father name that why i want to change my , sorry i am a Nigerian by birth i don't need passport i have one already i am not married to a Nigerian man , i am married to a germany man and we are together .

Oh! now I understand, pardon me I thought you're German. Thanks for being polite and taking the time to explain again. By the way no offence for my earlier reply, they were only questions I wanted clarified so I could be in a better position to contribute to your thread.

No. I definitely would not go back. "He who raises a child is the legal parent of the child". And they're the only family I know anyway.

Spermdrops:
Not unless my "fake" parents were evil people who molested children.

To me they would always be my parents not fake parents!

benincitys:
i am married since four year i want to change my surname to my husband name, i live in germany they ask me in the embassy of Nigeria to sent my old surname and the new surname to the news paper in Nigerian and bring it for them in the embassy of Nigeria in germany , my question is if any body have done some thing like this or hear of it ?

The day you are married - legally that is, you sign off your maiden name for the last time and you automatically become Mrs Whatever! You also get a marriage certificate. That is your change of name. And with that if you want to, the law permits you to change all your former documents to your married name - e.g your German passport, drivers licence, bank etc. So what has Nigerian Embassy in Germany got to do with that? You haven't told us the real story. Are you trying to apply for a Nigerian passport based on the fact that you're married to a Nigerian? Or you want a visa to be able to visit the country? Are you saying you've been married four whole years and only want to change your name now? Where was the marriage conducted? You live in Germany, where is your husband now?

@Coolier

Germany, Korea, Japan, perhaps are countries where they each speak only one official language respectively. To make it simpler

Germany - German

Korea - Korean

Japan - Japanese

The poster is not talking about official language here because if he is, then in Nigeria we also have ONE official language(our lingua franca), which is English. See @poster below:-

finguy:
if we look at countries that are doing well, we discover they have similar culture and language, but in Nigeria we have over 250 ethnic groups with over 100 languages, how can we ever be loyal to one country.

DON'T KNOW IF IT'S BEEN POSTED BEFORE, BUT THIS IS THE TREATMENT METTED OUT TO A LADY BY THE IMO STATE GOVERNOR'S ENTOURAGE. PLS READ ON:

The many lies of Imo State Governor's secretary

Author: Anonymous | May 21, 2008

Ordinarily, I would not reduce myself to joining issues with liars and people bereft of understanding but in the interest of the reading populace and indeed for the avoidance of any doubts whatsoever I have thought it fit to respond so as to present the story as it actually happened (and this can be corroborated by witnesses who are ready to speak) and to alert the entire populace of the reckless and animalistic behaviour of people who are supposed to be interested in the welfare of the people who put them in office.

The Governor of Imo State and his cronies led by Mr. Steve Osuji have spun webs of lies and even insulted my person and I feel very slighted.

On February 10, 2008 at about 9:30 a.m. around Alfred Rewane Road (just after Falomo Bridge) Ikoyi, Lagos, I was driving (with my two children aged 3 years and 5years old in the back seat of the car) towards the Third Mainland Bridge on my way to church in Gbagada.

I noticed a convoy of cars behind me, lights flashing and approaching at top speed. On noticing them I joined the other road users who had moved to the fast lane in order to let them through since they were already in the service lane behind me. The siren blaring convoy did not however pass by but I was being hounded by the convoy to either stop or get off the road as the other cars in the convoy had sandwiched my car to the median with the lead car occupying the centre of the road at a time when there was absolutely no traffic and no cars on that lane (Alfred Rewane Road on a Sunday morning is the exact opposite of what it is on week days).

The lead Black Toyota Prado Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) with registration number “Pilot 1″ braking sharply and repeatedly forced me to slow almost to a halt while one of the other cars rammed into my car from the rear passengers side. The impact of this badly damaged my rear fender and also the rear passenger door of my car. I eventually had to stop so as to avoid being run over by the car.

As I came out of the car to examine the damage done to my car and demand an explanation for all the harassment, some of the security men dressed in suits alighted from their cars, slapped me and repeatedly slammed the door of the car against my arm.

I was shocked and demanded an explanation for the attack. Instead of answering me, one of the security men, in full view of my two children then pointed his gun at me while two others began to vandalise the car by using the butts of the guns to break off the rear view mirrors and kick in the door (I have pictures of the vandalised cars).

My children were so panic-stricken that they opened the door and bolted across the road. I can only be thankful to God that an on-coming vehicle did not run them over. The younger kid later went into shock and did not speak to anyone until later that evening when his father came into town.

After vandalising my car, the convoy then sped off. The Executive Governor of Imo State was actually in the car. He rolled down the mirror, saw what happened and rolled back up as if nothing was happening. He obviously could not be bothered.

I have described Mr. Osuji as bereft of understanding not out of discourtesy but because of the senseless issues he has raised.

That I with my two young children in the car struggled for over one kilometre with the governor’s convoy.
That the governor and his entourage as sane, rational, family men and women assaulted and traumatised me and my children.

That with my two young kids in the car willfully smashed into the governor’s convoy.

This is completely absurd and laughable to say the very least and can only be believed by such “sane and rational men” like Mr. Osuji. This is nothing but a campaign of calumny calculated at saving the face of his boss (the governor), and sacrificing his conscience on the altar of sycophancy. I can only imagine what manner of man would support the harassment of a woman and little children.

Mr. Osuji alludes to a security breach. What security breach? That I moved to the extreme lane for them to pass is now a security breach? The road was totally free!!! Was I supposed to move to the middle of the road or carry my car off the road?

Or are we lesser mortals not fit to drive on the same road with these thin gods? It is this madness that we observe everyday on our roads by siren blaring monsters. If for nothing, the convoy of the Lagos State Governor has driven past me on countless occasions within the Ikoyi/Victoria Island area without blaring sirens neither was I harassed in any manner and yet he is still the Governor of Lagos State.

And assuming there was a security breach, is it that security breach that has led the “sane and rational” Mr. Osuji to write such a sorry letter in The Guardian newspaper of February 21, 2008?

For the avoidance of doubt I did not hire anybody to tell my story. I was under the wrong impression that these “sane, rational family men and women” would be reasonable enough if I just wrote a letter of complaint but unfolding events have proved me wrong.

It is sad and disheartening that at this stage of our nascent democracy when the emphasis is on respect for the rule of law, that such flagrant abuse of power is still prevalent in our nation albeit within our elected leaders. It shows a clear disrespect for the sanctity of life and the constitution which they are supposed to uphold.


Mrs. Udoudo lives in Lagos.

I think both rings engagement/wedding are designed to be worn together on the same finger. The wedding ring goes in first and the engagement follows.

I don't think there is one country in the whole world that has one language.

In United Kingdom for instance, they speak English in England, Scottish in Scotland and Welsh in Wales in addition to some other languages/dialects like 'Scouse' spoken in Liverpool and 'Geordie' spoken in Newcastle upon Tyne.

The U.S.A is also a highly multilingual country. The number of languages spoken in the United States is 311 according to research. Of these, 162 are indigenous, and 149 are immigrant languages. An indigenous language is a language that is native to a region and spoken by indigenous people.

Most people will say our problem is corruption or poverty,

Those people are absolutely correct. Our problem is corruption of the highest order and indiscipline.

Death toll of soldiers in auto crash now 50 - To be buried today; It’s a national loss - Yar’Adua
From Chris Agbambu, Ishola Michael, Ayodele Adesanmi and Ibrahim Dabugur
Friday, May 23, 2008

DEATH toll of soldiers in Wednesday night’s accident on Bauchi/Potiskum road has risen to 50. The soldiers were reported to be returning from peacekeeping duties in Darfur, Sudan, when they were involved in the accident.

Forty soldiers were burnt to death instantly on Wednesday when a petrol tanker ran into their convoy. The 10 soldiers who died later, it was gathered, were among those that were receiving treatment at the Bauchi State Specialist Hospital.

What a waste! No good roads, no fire men or services, no paramedics, no ambulances or helicopters, no good medical services. And to think all these soldiers survived Darfur only to be killed the moment they arrived home - what an irony of life!!! Goodbye heroes.

Iyabo Obasanjo returns to Senate
x | May 23, 2008


Senator Iyabo Obasanjo-Bello returned to the Senate and was welcomed by he colleagues who fell over themselves to hug or shake her hands as she stepped into the Senate chamber

After the President of the Senate, Senator David Mark declared the business of the day open, Iyabo seconded a motion by Senator Ayim Ude for the adoption of the votes and proceedings of Wednesday’s session.

Iyabo also raised Order 43 of the Senate Standing Orders 2007 (as amended) to make a personal explanation.

She said: “The personal explanation I would like to make concerns my issue with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission that is on-going. I would like to use this opportunity to thank my colleagues.”

Senator David Mark said: “O.K., Senator Obasanjo, just say thank you…”

Obasanjo-Bello replied saying “No sir. It goes beyond that. I want to thank all members of the National Assembly, Senators especially the leadership of the Senate, they were wonderful.

“I want to thank even the members of the opposition for the way they have supported me. I want to assure you that I have not done anything that would bring down the honour and integrity of this chamber.

“And I will never do anything that would bring down the honour and integrity of this chamber.”

She was then ‘inducted’ her into the league of comrades in the Senate who “have gone in and out of prison.” by Senator David Mark

Senator Uche Chukwumerije commonly called ‘comrade’ jokingly objected to this saying “Let me concede this, when we ( go to the police station, we are always bitten by mosquitoes. In fact, we always fend off mosquitoes from all parts of our bodies throughout the night.

“When I saw Obasanjo-Bello this morning, I looked at her closely and I didn’t see a single mosquito bite on her. In fact she is a VIP comrade.”



END OF STORY!!!
