congratulations. wow

May God bless her.

obi123: madam , pls start taking iron tablets , u have a form of pica, an appetite for substances largely non-nutritive, i ate ice for no reason at all for close to a yr, not knowing i had iron deficiency anaemia

Thank you but it isnt that bad plus I am aware of my Hb level.

I love it but I have never taken a significant amount. Even though I crave it still, I cant remember the last time I took it. It is hard being sure of the purity of sand. I just enjoy the smell during rainfall. lobatan.

aManFromMars: Do you think it should?

You tell me

This baby na nairaland baby o. Give us a chance to give him/her a beautiful name.

[quote author=Okiki_Oluwa]Why you no go like the smell of soil? So weirddd!
Yuck![/quote]google Pica.

aManFromMars: U never marry?

does it matter?

Beey: You need to have check for your iron level.I had the same kind of craving and it turned out I was anaemic.

This is Pica..my love for sand is from childhood.

jumzzy448: The funniest thing is, when you are pregnant the smell of sand will be the smell you'll hate most.

That is very possible.

Afam4eva: My guy tell her to hold the baby until the 25th of december. That's a perfect date to give birth to a baby. The baby must remain inside. Lock the exit for now.

Do you know the implication of this? It sounds like a curse.

she is in labor already. God forbid bad thing.

Many people dont agree that this is true.

You guys didn't listen to iriri aye by Kola Olawuyi?? plenty things dey happen o.

There was a woman who married into a tribe where the wife could serve her husband's visitor sexually. Bizarre innit? and there were people who said it was true as the tribe was mentioned.

Valeree: Shoud have been, "What each parts of ur face says aabout you" at op, I was expecting something like: innocent face, poker face, mean face, old looking face, wrinkled face, childish face, stone face etc

exactly what I expected too.

smily face, always grinning..etc

I had to laugh!!

at first, I wasnt sure if my forehead was round or not.

and then I thought my eye brows say the perfect thing about me.

Going down it became more and more ridiculous.

Person wey write this thing needs help!

coogar: how will it double quote? just make sure you edit properly before pushing the send button......your reply is ready, it takes me less than 2 mins to compose any rebuttal. fix your browser.

Just post your rebuttal and after then I wont reply until I can quote properly.

the rebuttal dey hungry me

coogar: i will not reply deols until she fixes her quote button.

Do you think that was easy for me??

I have about four browsers. The one I used yesterday won't quote.

This one will double quote if I try to use it and I am on mobile.

The other requires a pretty fast service and my service here is bad..


abi u are using style to buy time for your response??

[quote author=coogar]things have changed.....these days, they usually marry the 17th, 19th or the 24th. 1st, 2nd & 3rd? that's probably in secondary schools.

secondary school? I just gave you real life examples of people I know and am close to. Maybe you need to broaden your horizon

i meant emotional & material stuff. there are other intangibles too like quality time spent on the chic. who is going to bear this brunt?

Material stuff? any girl who acceptsaterial stuff is probably ready to submit. Some people don't accept gift from strangers. That is why we have fathers. For the emotional aspect, well, there is nothing to do about it. He'll learn to get over it. Quality time goes both ways. But she would not have spent time if she wasnt considering him.



how long can people pretend for? i'm too smart for such acts to fool me.

maybe not for long. Let's us just assume you are smart and let this go



they are more than enough.....a predator knows the strength & the weakness of his prey. within a week, i will suss out any chic regardless of her pretence.

Suss out. Do you mean frustrate her to see jow unyielding she can be? You dont like her enough then and should not have her in the first place.



easier said than done.....looking into his face is the easier part. how long you hold the gaze for is the crux.

So what does how long say about her?



i prefer the very quiet ones till the day they go pop! open book ones are expressive but they tend to physically/verbally damage a lot of things when angry.

You are going extreme about your idea of expressive people. I am not destructive sha. Many of us actually make mental calculations before the pop. We say it because we want to say it. It is most of the time rational.

even if they are apologetic afterwards, it's often not enough to compensate the damage they have caused. you cannot uncrack an egg....

Damages are not always done. We teach people how to treat us. When you learn early enough, you can be rest assured of the bliss to follow

the quiet ones are easily manageable - she gets crazy probably once in a decade. i can handle that.

You are presenting a dummy and not an average human being. A decade?? How would you feel sef living with someone who keeps on saying yes sir like a robot without ever saying why?

The ones I know are more destructive than expressive people. Especially because you dont know what they are thinking, you'd have to fear for your life. They are like green snakes under green grasses or say, slow poison.

naptu2: Actually, I wasn't referring to their behaviour towards the english travellers. I was referring to their behaviour towards each other. El-kanemi was not exactly friends with Usman Dan Fodio and Mohammed Bello, but the tone of this letter is so friendly and respectful.

is alright. I don't know that part of history.

Congrats in advance. Contractions are painful!! especially for a first timer. May God see her through it.

naptu2: I'm a bit surprised by the tone of the letter. It's very cordial. I've been pondering over this since saturday. It's probably because it was a different era. Chivalry was alive then.

There are many of this kind of letter. I will search and if I find them, post them here. It is inherently a part of Islam to protect people of other faith found in Islamic territory.

I believe what we see now in the form of intolerance from some Muslims stem from the crusade(killings by the christians.).

Muslims who would not see beyond vengeance decided to take up arms against those whom they see to have wronged them. This certain belief grew into the different terror organisations that exist now. I just wish they can all see this aspect of Islam and realise they are very wrong.

Hope you dont have children with your wife yet.

Time to flee, man.Before you find yourself awake beside the mother-in-law soon.

Who knows what kind of witchcraft is going on..run run RUN for your life.

Is it disposable or one to wash and rewear?

any fear of electrocution?

Carbohydrates are good for relieving stress.Hence the chocolate mantra. I wonder why microsoft wants to deny us that. Not everyone wants to be skinny.

[quote author=coogar]ok then....[/b]



[b]you sure??

Lol. In my world, girls only date people they can marry and usually, they marry the first, second and very rarely, the third one they dated.



how will he earn it without investing something(no matter how small) into the relationship? and if you decide he's not worth it, what happens to his (small) investment?

It takes a man to take risks. Just like every venture, profit and loss is part and parcel. sounds like lesson 101. He'd get over it. But I hope you don't mean material things.



It's so easy to detect. her speech, the way she walks, the way she sits, her gaze, etc.

Seriously? with the way people can pretend??

I really dont give it too much thought but I doubt that I'll fall into the category of your ideal. and still, I am soft spoken and I sit right . These things are not enough to base your assessment on.

But the gaze sha..I can look anybody in the face especially if I didnt know them from Adam..and I won't take BS from no one..hahahaa

There are girls who look very quiet and cool until the day dem go burst. Na those ones i fear pass o. People like me are open books, easily read and expressive. We say our thoughts and get angry when necesaary but at least, our thoughts are known. We are better people than your submissive lot who are waiting for a chance to be pushed to the wall to show you they can also bite

coogar: exactly!
so if she has been in 3 relationships & the men showed themselves worthy by those acts then she has to submit to each & everyone of them.



how feasible is this? that the only relationship one gets into is the one that would lead to marriage. the probability is 0.5%



hmmm.....
submission before love - that's my mantra. i will only go after a woman that shows submissive qualities not the agbero-looking chics that walk around with a broken bottle.

When I mentioned that she cant possibly submit to every man she meets, I didnt mean men that she has relationships with. I meant every man gutted enough to speak to her. Part of her deciding to be with a man in a relationship is her ability to respect him. Not even submit per se.



Well, people do that. It is more than 0.5%. The world is large enough to contain our many differences.



hahha.You want to paint the other women black. No. It is not agbero mentality at all. I hate the idea of some men that women are weaklings, etc. I cant let them shove me into that dependant creature side. I cant submit just because I am female. The man would have to earn it first.



so how do you tell a submissive lady before you take the step? ..abi u can sniff it?

coogar: relationship is relationship. like you have in naija where the guy(regardless of the depth of his pocket) is expected to man up - pay for expensive dates, buy her xpensive gifts & treat his woman like a queen.

when he fails to meet up - he's quickly condemned that he doesn't love enough or stinginess must be in his genetic code. it's not like women demand these niceties directly but it's what they expect.



it's a bad thing o.....

But he would have shown himself worthy by those acts.


Well, the ideal relationship to me is the marriage, outside of it, nothing. No responsibility, no demand.


and since you only marry someone you love, With love comes submission. Not the other way.

greatgod2012: can you imagine
And when that BIL is trying to play some pranks with her, she will start to shout and run to NL that she needs help, her BIL want to sleep with her, when in actual fact, it was she and the BIL that was joined together.
Confused people.

abi..idont kniw how the idea got conceived in the firat place. cant fathom it

Toyinletstalk: Lol I know. But women truly do have more work. I used to think that way till I got married and even after I did, life became better for me when I just accepted my responsibilities. It is easier. You will be surprised, it is a woman that will do all the praying, because you want your home and kids to be a success, some men are hardcore prayer warriors, while others are cold until they are"called".

Men who help with chores are also few, you will be glad to marry someone who has been really trained by their parents to take up "cleaning the house" responsibility or sharing it. And if you can't stay in a dirty environment, you don't have a choice but to clean it.

Child birth, if you live in a country where they allow the men into the labor room then better to an extent, still they don't have an idea on what the women are going through. What of Nigeria that say "men cannot enter the labor room" for what I don't know. Maybe if they did, there would be more empathy. I think there should be a peaceful demonstration on that.

I dont even know what to say. You are living the life..Nothing I say can change that

bukatyne: hi,

are you a mind reader?

i love the smell of the soil when it rains especially at the beginning of the rainy season

i guess we are destined to be farmers; what''s your take?

@OP: God will keep you and wifey and grant her a safe delivery. you both will grow old together and your love will continually blossom.

threads like this dey sweet my belle

name your daughter Atinuke

Farmer deols. Not a bad idea.

I knew weird people like me plenty small

coogar: should a woman expect love, care, treatment to the nicest things in life in every relationship she gets? if the answer is yes then submitting to those men is compulsory.

women should not expect to get & not give back in return. if she cannot submit to every man she meets, she shouldn't even think of dating at all. when she's ready to settle down, she should go on the street & find a suitable man to date. love him, marry him & submit to him.

Well, the answer is No.

Our idea of what relationship to get into maybe different. But it does take a loving relationship to give submission.

and she wouldn't need to go on the street when she is ready to settle down. Don't make it sound like a bad thing.

shizzle11: you may but its not

hammed royabat: real love never hold... Maybe it's d voice dat will captivate u

I believe sensible/reasonable love or mature loving is well thought of.

If someone sees my pics and start to drool over them and immediately begins to profess love, I'd lose total respect for such a person. How can I ever trust him with making rational decisions.

What you Love a person for has to go beyond what they look like or what they sound like.

Orikinla: Any dummy can see that the letter is preaching tolerance of Christians in Muslims territories. Focus on the message instead of digressing.

Did you read it at all. The meaning is lost on you. No wonder you posted it.

naptu2: The term "Soudan" does not necessarily refer to the country now known as Sudan, the same way the term "Guinea" does not necessarily refer to the country we now call Guinea.

Soudan, as used here, refers to "the land of the blacks, south of the Sahara", the same way that "Guinea" refers to "the land of the blacks in Western Africa".

I agree
