there's been so much talk bout patriotism, Nigerians not being patriotic in that they leave the shores of their beloved country and go become useful someplace else, don't be surprised if the idea came from the Nigerian govt itself.

Hmm ... Operating a joint account? I don' see anything wrong with that. One thing though, the couples have to decide whether or not they want it so. If they both trust each other and deem it fit to run one, fine. After all, the money is for the running/upkeep of the family, of which they belong.

just guessing mamba, did that happen in Unilag?

well, I don't have a car of ma own but love to ride in my brother's  bullet(honda). sleek ride if you ask me. dream ride would either be a peoguot, toyota, or honda, and by the time i am ready to buy, finer models will be out.

It was because Eve listened to the devil that the issue of order and hierarchy in the marriage relationship has had to be raised and explained!

oh ow!

Hey! Welcome Mario! At least you got one person to welcome you.
Enjoy!

, these days i can't help but laugh more each time I watch the ad and remember all your replies.

The guy's a lot more finer, una no make d bobo fine with the open mouth for here!

well, em........ being in the same profession with your spouse is not a bad idea. I think where there would be a real problem is a situation in which both work in same company and if the wife is not the humble type......... But, basically it all falls back to both couples, if you find it fun and convenient being in same profession fine. Remember also that some couples today met in same class, same profession, moreso there are families whereby the parents and children are all accountants, or engineers.

It truly is a generally accepted fact. I have got a reason, from the bible and I think it is 'concrete' enough.

When a man and woman get married, they become one flesh. There is a unity between them. But, it is the man who is the head of the family. Some may think that this was a cultural notion that snuck into the Bible, but quoting from it:
"For man does not originate from woman, but woman from man; for indeed man was not created for the woman’s sake, but woman for the man’s sake. " (1 Cor. 11:8-10).

This headship is not about having the upper hand nor is it to mean that a woman has no rights or is a second class citizen. The husband is still commanded to love the wife. The headship issue is an issue of order, not of who is better or more important.

These are my views, bible wise. Any one with others reasons? Please post away ...

I feel you axeprince. I equally use Vmobile and keep wondering if we will ever enjoy all these. Hope I (we) don't turn into wonderers ...

Seun, speaking in line with the verse quoted, this verse describes the characteristics of true love. These qualities can be found in all truly loving relationships.

We can only identify true love and know when we have found it, based on the Word of God. When we match our relationships up to what the Bible says that love is -- and we are honestly prepared to make a life-long commitment to that person -- then we can say that we are truly "in love."

Love is best seen as devotion and action, not an emotion. Love is not exclusively based on how we feel. Certainly our emotions are involved, but they cannot be our only criteria for love. True devotion will always lead to action - true love.

modalov, i think i will oppose what you just said, though, I can't tell for sure where your location is. The show might not be aired in all parts of Nigeria, but I did watch it when I was in Ibadan.

Mamba, I am quite impressed by this thread. Thumbs up! You have so beautifully explained this whole stuff. Glo should do something for you o! cos this is such a good ad, in educating or enlightening people of the whole lot of possibilities that comes your way with a glo line. If you ask me, glo has got something of so much importance and worth but their ad is not just enuf or rather the good word has not been properly/effectively spread. Trust MTN if it were them!

trish, i felt same way with you when it was first aired. why in the world should a man and a woman be subjected to same competition especially since it is to do with physical fitness? all the same i was happy some guys dropped out before the ladies .

tayotina has clearly quoted what true love means. So if you want to experience true love, why not experience it first with the creator who originated it? Agape comes first........

Good enough. Been sort-of drawn to Glo in these last few days especially when I joined the Mobile Nigeria Forum( ) because of their GPRS, MMS ... bla bla, but I just can't make use of two lines now. Might have a rethink ... will just make do with my sister's.

Ra:
No one knows it all really and absolutely no man is an island. I've often wondered what exactly makes, constitutes and maintains a great relationship. Right from the onset; when boy meets girl and likes what he sees and hears, hiss next action is to ask for her number, is this the point where the babe is expected to turn coy and refuse to give him the number?

Let me put it this way, there types of relationships that will never work .
what i am trying to say in essense is that for there to be a relationship, there is a reason, a drive so to say, for which a guy would approach a girl to start up one or for which a gurl would agree to start up one.

* fear: fear of rejection or of never getting married or old age. such a lady has no defined values - she does not know who she is, who she wants or why she wants that kind of person.

* guilt: you feel sorry for your partner and feel if you stay with him/her you can help overcome his/her problems. You feel guilty when you try to leave cos there is a strong attachment now. It never works cos when he/she recovers from the problems, you suddenly discover you are no longer needed.

* money: it is a natural instint to seek protection and wellbeing in any relationship as well as to ensure that you are with a man that can be a good provider to you. However, when the size of the wallet becomes the only reason that the relationship exist, it becomes a money driven relationship, and then the money determines how you feel and respond to each other. The lady is enslaved by his money and it is almost impossible to oblige him sex cos when you do, he zips up his bulging wallet!

* if a relationship is sex driven, it is self centerd and selfish. the moment you cease to derive pleasure from the sex, the relationship crumbles. The character of a person cannot be acurately measured by how good or bad they are in bed.

* romance is an essential ingredient in the critical mix of factors responsible for making a relationship work, but when it assumes a mojor role, the relationship becomes lopsided and fails to delvelope as it ought to. such type of relationship often end as soon as the realities of life begin to show up. when romance stops for any reason, true love is absent to support it and so it crumbles. romance should therefore be balanced with genuine love for the relationship to work.

Four surgeons are discussing who makes the best patients on the operating table. The first surgeon says, "I like to see accountants on my operating table, because when you open them up, everything inside is numbered." The second responds, "Yeah, but you should try electricians! Everything inside them is color coded." The third surgeon says, "No, I really think librarians are the best; everything inside them is in alphabetical order." But the fourth surgeon shut them all up when he observed: "You're all wrong.Politicians are the easiest to operate on. There's no guts, no heart, and no spine, and the head and butt are interchangeable!"

Hunter, as Seun said, the show started this year, and I believe it is going to run for a long while. Anyways, it is aired every friday 8.00p.m on NTA and em... I thought you were in Nigeria at present

Did not quite get that slimbeauty.
I skipped the show yesterday. but all the same, It is such a cerebral show such that the guy on the hot seat needs to know virtually everything under the sun!

Ok. I visited the site last nite with a friend who registered and there i saw registration was to end same day (yesterday).

this ad is too much!

whereas hereditary diseases have been clearly spelt out, here's my piece on what i think.
One important issue that intending couples who are both AS have to consider is the psychological and emotional effect of the disease on their children. The agony that SS children go through is one that no one will like to cope with and that is why intending couples are not to let emotions or sentiments make them ignore the importance of genotype grouping. Many SS children have known to grow up hating their parents for having caused them this pain and constant hospitalization. Also, many people avoid marrying those that have SS irrespective of their blood genotype cos of their vulnerability.


However, I feel, when two people with AS genotype decide to marry, both must be convinced that GOD approves of their relationship and both MUST have FAITH. If there is any fear about the possibility of having SS children, then DO NOT go into the marriage because it will take a miracle to have only AA or AS children and without faith you cannot get your miracle.
Futhermore, there should be parental and also pastoral consent cos the support they would give cannot be overemphasised.

pieta, seems you skipped that

Trae, that was "Telecrastination" which I believe is somewhat differerent from "phone etiquette"

There is something so common these days especially with the female folk, some guys do it too. What I mean is people trying to speak [I]phonetics[/I], what you hear them say is "hello" pronounced as 'hella' repeatedly.

Well, whenever I receive a call from an unregistered number, sometimes I say "hello" and other times "hello, good morning/afternoon/evening". And most recently, because of my job description in which I offer support to clients, I almost include my company's name!

If it is a call from a registered number, I don't think he/she needs such formality. I just go ahead and either say [I]hi[/I], [I]'sup[/I], or call the person's name. Or what do you think?

Phone Etiquette ...

Hi all,

Just wondering what our phone etiquettes (the conduct or procedure required by good breeding or prescribed by authority to be observed in social or official life) really are.

When your phone rings with a call either from a registered or unregistered number, how do you go?

I am indifferent to it. Whenever I see it, I just smile and say [I]"MTN and their adverts sef"[/i]
