PoliticsRe: President Goodluck Jonathan Should Resign? by DivineR: 3:05pm On Dec 29, 2011
I don’t really know why some people think through their nose, you forgot so soon the comments/threat  by  IBB and Buhari, let me remained you again, they said ‘ if Jonathan wins the election (April 2011 poll) that they will make this nation un-governorable for him’’.
My  dear that is what they are doing, they are using Boko Haram as an aid to distract him, they want power returned back to them, please lets be wise. You people should free this man, he is living in the midst of evil men.
Before you call for his resignation, let there be dance before you demand for the head of John the Baptist. (8 months is still small to measure his performance that will lead to his resignation) If you are in his position will you do better than him?

RomanceRe: Let's Discuss Why Relationships Break Up. . . by DivineR: 2:39pm On Jul 07, 2011
I think communication and distance for those in distance relationship, trust, and lack of money is also a major reason. In some situation in absent of money to solve one problem or the other if the BF can’t assist sometimes it leads to INFIDELITY, (it depends on individual)
FamilyLetter To Nigerian Parents by DivineR(op): 2:59pm On Jul 01, 2011
I found this article intresting, please read

Friends, Let me add the benefit of my time as a student and then resident in the UK - and I live in Lagos now. The first thing that I discovered about UK-born, white, English undergraduates was that all of them did holiday or weekend job to support themselves - including the children of millionaires amongst them. It is the norm over there - regardless how wealthy their parents are. And I soon discovered that virtually all other foreign students did the same - the exception being those of us status-conscious Nigerians.

I also watched Richard Branson (owner of Virgin Airline) speaking on the Biography Channel and, to my amazement, he said that his young children travel in the economy class -even when the parents (he and his wife) are in upper class. Richard Branson is a billionaire in Pound Sterling. A quick survey would show you that only children from Nigeria fly business or upper class to commence their studies in the UK. No other foreign students do this.

There is no aircraft attached to the office of the prime minister in the UK - he travels on BA. And the same goes for the Royals. The Queen does not have an aircraft for her exclusive use. These practices simply become the culture which the next generation carries forward. Have you seen the car that Kate Middleton(the lady soon to marry Prince William) drives? VW Golf or something close to it. But there's one core difference them and us(generally speaking). They (even the billionaires among them) work for their money,we steal ours!

If we want our children to bring about the desired change we have been praying for on behalf of our dear country, then please, please let's begin now and teach them to work hard so they can stand alone and most importantly be content, and not having to "steal", which seem to be the norm these days.

"30 is the new 18", which seem to be the new age for testing out the world in Nigeria now. That seems to be an unspoken but widely accepted mindset among the last 2 generations of parents in Nigeria. At age 18 years, a typical young adult in the UK leaves the clutches of his/her parents for the University, chances are, that's the last time those parents will ever play "landlord" to their son or daughter except of course the occasional home visits during the academic year.

At 21 years and above or below, the now fully grown and independent minded adult graduates from University, searches for employment, gets a job and shares a flat with other young people on a journey into becoming fully fledged adults.

I can hear the echo of parents saying, well, that is because the UK economy is thriving, safe, well structured and jobs are everywhere? I beg to differ and I ask that you kindly hear me out. I am UK trained Recruitment Consultant and I have been practicing for the past 10 years in Nigeria. I have a broad range of experience from recruiting graduates to executive director level of large corporations. In addition, I talk from the point of view of someone with relatively privileged upbringing. Driven to school every day, had my clothes washed for me, was barred from taking any part-time job during my A-levels so that I could concentrate on studying for my exams?! BUT, I got the opportunity to live apart from my parents from age 18 and the only time I came back home to stay was for 3 months before I got married!

Am I saying that every parent should wash their hands off their children at age 18? No, not at all, of course, I enjoyed the savings that I made from living on and off at my parent's house in London – indeed that is the primary reason for my being able to buy myself a 3 bedroom flat in London at age 25 with absolutely no direct financial help from my parents!

For me, pocket money stopped at age 22, not that it was ever enough for my lifestyle to compete with Paris Hilton's or Victoria Beckham's. Meanwhile today, we have Nigerian children who have never worked for 5 minutes in their lives insisting on flying "only" first or business class, carrying the latest Louis Vuitton ensemble, Victoria 's Secret underwear and wearing Jimmy Choo's, fully paid for by their "loving" parents.

I often get calls from anxious parents, my son graduated 2 years ago and is still looking for a job, can you please assist! Oh really! So where exactly is this "child" is my usual question. Why are you the one making this call dad/mum? I am yet to get a satisfactory answer, but between you and me, chances are that big boy is cruising around Lagos with a babe dressed to the nines, in his dad's spanking new SUV with enough "pocket money" to put your salary to shame. It is not at all strange to have a 28 year old who has NEVER worked for a day in his or her life in Nigeria but "earns" a six figure "salary" from parents for doing absolutely nothing.
I see them in my office once in a while, 26 years old with absolutely no skills to sell, apart from a shiny CV, written by his dad's secretary in the office. Of course, he has a driver at his beck and call and he is driven to the job interview. We have a fairly decent conversation and we get to the inevitable question - so, what salary are you looking to earn? Answer comes straight out - N250,000.00. I ask if that is per month or per annum. Of course it is per month. Oh, why do you think you should be earning that much on your first job? Well, because my current pocket money is N200,000.00 and I feel that an employer should be able to pay me more than my parents. I try very hard to compose myself, over parenting is in my opinion the greatest evil handicapping the Nigerian youth.
It is at the root of our national malaise.

We have a youth population of tens of millions of who are being "breastfed and diapered" well into their 30s. Even though the examples I have given above are from parents of considerable affluence, similar patterns can be observed from Abeokuta to Adamawa! Wake up mum! Wake up dad! You are practically loving your children to death! No wonder corruption continues to thrive. We have a society of young people who have been brought up to expect something for nothing, as if it were a birth right.

I want to encourage you to send your young men and women (anyone over 20 can hardly be called a child!) out into the world, maybe even consider reducing or stopping the pocket money to encourage them to think, explore and strive. Let them know that it is possible for them to succeed without your "help".

Take a moment to think back to your own time as a young man/woman, what if someone had kept spoon feeding you, would you be where you are today? No tree grows well under another tree, children that are not exposed to challenges, don't cook well. That is why you see adults complaining, "my parents didn't buy clothes for me this christmas", ask him/her how old-30+. Because of the challenges we faced in our youth, we are where and what we today, this syndrome- my children will not suffer what I suffered is destroying our tomorrow. Deliberately reduce their allowance or mum-don't cook on Saturday till late afternoon or evening-do as occasion deserve.

I learnt the children of a former Nigerian head of state with all the stolen (billions) monies in their custody, still go about with security escort as wrecks. They are on drugs, several times because of the drug, they collapse in public places. The escort will quickly pack them and off they go, what a life. No one wants to marry them. Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young.- Henry Ford. Hard work does not kill, everything in Nigeria is going down, including family settings. It is time to cook our children, preparing them for tomorrow. We are approaching the season in Nigeria where only the RUGGED, will survive. How will your ward fare?

If the present generation of Nigerian pilots retire, will you fly a plane flown by a young Nigerian pilot, If trained in Nigeria? People now have first class, who cannot spell GRADUATE or read an article without bomb blast! Which Way Nigeria!, Which Way Nigerians!! Is this how we will ALL sit and watch this country SINK?

FamilyRe: Your 1st Meeting With Your In-laws by DivineR: 2:48pm On Mar 25, 2011
My meeting with my ex- mom/siblings was funny!!!

The guy was not in the country (Nig) so I have to travel to alone to see his people. Thou I speaks with them on phone.

On that fateful day (Saturday) I took ABC transport to travel to meet my would be in-law, a journey that supposed to last for some hours was delayed to the next day, the bus was so slow, we got to the state very late in the night, I couldn’t continue the journey, the only option left was for me to sleep at the park, I slept at the park, mosquitoes fed on me cry cry, in the morning the sister came to pick me up.

When we got home, there was no water, his mom carried bucket and went to fetch water shocked shocked, in my house that kind of thing never happened, I was so disturbed thinking of what to do, I collected the bucket from the woman to go fetch the water myself with his other sibling, the mother said’’ my daughter pls. let me do it! u need some rest/sleep after this long journey and difficulties encountered’’ I said Mama pls. I will rest later let me do it’’ and she left me. thou it was hard on me cos I can’t remember the last time I placed something on my head, I had no choice than to do it. cry

After fetching water, the sister prepared food, I managed to eat and we left to market to buy stuff needed for (Easter Sunday) that was the same day I came. cry cry cry

Came back from the market, enter kitchen, start preparing stew/dinner for the family (no rest) lipsrsealed

The next day being Sunday, Mama said I will follow her to church huh, I accepted, dressed up brought out my make up bag to make up, everybody started laughing embarassed! I asked why? they said ‘’Mama’s church doesn’t wear make up and jewelries (that was another one chance) I dressed up set to church with mama without make up, (wasn’t funny) cry lipsrsealed cry

Came back from church, the house was so boring, nobody was at home, I felt so lonely that I couldn’t wait to go back.

Monday morning, before day break I have woken, bath and prepare to go back to my base! grin The visit was funny, but with wonderful experience.

Talk is cheap, but be careful on how you use it. Some of you criticising this man, believe me if u are in his position you will do more, you should leave the man alone, he is not the first, but the most considerate among all.

When I read this report from SR I laughed cos they are the same people that carried a false news about Yaradua, claiming they spoke with him when he was at Saudi Arabia.

Ask yourself among all the news papers in Nigeria, why is it was only SR that carried this news.

Don’t judge so you will not be judged.

FamilyRe: Bad Habits Of Your Spouse That You Can't Stand? by DivineR: 4:26pm On Sep 23, 2010
desthan:
My wife is just something else, each time we make love, especially when she's on top, she bends over and whisper to my ear ''dearie, don't come untill i tell you to'' she then starts hammering away, farting at the same time, hitting real hard on my cock n balls and the noise that follows is like poo-poo-poo-poo-poo-poo. This sensation comes with a blend of sweet and bitter feeling, because my balls really hurts but as a man i just have to bear the pains, because its only in that process she climax, splurting her juicy cums on my cock wink. but the cold part is, whenever we are at it, she starts shedding tears, i mean uncontrollable tears running down her cheeks, i begin to wonder what in the world is wrong with this woman, for crying out loud, i'm suppose to be the one crying here because my balls hurts and each time i confront her about the crying n farting, she is like ''honey its ok, its just emotions''

this really pisses me off, here she is sweating my privates n balls, then farting all the way to heavenly feeling, and crying in the process, then it all becomes emotions, men, this chick is just one hell of a character but i love her anyway. she must not read this o! grin
