Someone mentioned this too. Would you know if its it still in circulation please?

They have. Titled "Success in Marriage"
vivaciousvivi:


In that case, I suggest they pen a book together about their marriage success so most of us learn from it. 32 Years marriage is not a joke. something must be working!

Fashion / Re: Most Nigerian Women Wear Goat Hair Thinking Its Expensive Human Hair LOL by ebonylomo1(f): 10:11am On Oct 11, 2014
Oga, not justifying hair extensions. I'm just wondering what the big deal abt goat hair is. IF a woman can wear human hair, why not goat hair?

Really shocked shocked...this is some form of justification for compulsive inferiority complex
Fashion / Re: Most Nigerian Women Wear Goat Hair Thinking Its Expensive Human Hair LOL by ebonylomo1(f): 8:10am On Oct 11, 2014
Goat hair, so A Lot of us eat diets with goat milk, most of the butter we use is from animals, some of our cotton clothing from sheep.
So what's the big deal about goat hair?

Culture / Comforting A Bereaved Person Right....... Thots Of Lara Wise(the Broadcaster) by ebonylomo1(f): 8:01am On Oct 06, 2014
Having lost both parents at different times and comforters flooding our home to say all sorts, this write up from Lara Made soooooooo much sense that I thought to share. Here it goes people.

As we journey in this life,

We are bound to come across people who are hurting from the loss of a dear one.

People who are bereaved and are mourning.

Now, our faith and culture demand we pay them a visit and console them at such trying moments.

Our primary aim is to offer words of consolation and that our presence offers some form of strength for the bereaved.

Unfortunately, many of such visits end up breaking the bereaved more than consoling them.

I have been In such a situation myself and believe me when I say miserable comforters abound.

I have been around bereaved folks and the kind of stuff visitors spewed from their mouths at such somber moments is totally unbelievable.

So unbelievable that I have had to pinch, pull the skirt or literally step on the toes of some people ejecting verbal contents in very large, meaningless and uncontrollable quantity around someone crying from a loss.

Let me make it clear that there is nothing you are going to say to someone who is bereaved that he or she has never heard; it is well, God knows best, God gives and He takes, your friend is in a better place, cherish the memory of the time you spent together, be strong, etc. they have heard them before and have probably said so to others who had mourned. Okay?

When I mourned the loss of a child, I heard preposterous stuff like " Aunty, I heard your son died, Don't worry you hear? God will give you another one", "I heard your son died and you didn't tell me", and so many other stuff I hate to recall.

A woman is crying from the loss of a child, you walk in singing "God is good, He has done me well oh my soul, rise up and praise The Lord" and then you ask the crying mother to stand and sing with you and dance to The Lord...(Good song in a wrong setting)

Or, you walk in and ask the crying mother to "stand up jor, dance to your God and shame the devil..". Haba!

"Don't cry" is misplaced counsel.

When you are around people who mourn, it is the wrongness time to start talking about "oh God, how am I going to break the news to the others that you lost a child..?".

Listen!

Your presence alone speaks volumes so you can keep sealed lips!

Holding the bands of a bereaved one in total silence offers strength!

Lying down beside a grieving lady and just holding her means so much.

Looking into her eyes and just nodding is a message so loud she hears and understands.

When You then want to pray for the bereaved, please watch your choice of song.

Watch your choice of words.

The morning after a male friend lost a wife who left him with three kids, I was there and a 'fire-fire-lady' prayed something in this line "it is given unto man to die only once (and I nodded my head in affirmation), right now, I break every connection between the living and the dead, noooooow! ( I opened one eye at this point. It was barely 6 hours that this man held the body of his lifeless wife in his hands. That sounded so insensitive...)

For friends and relatives of people who mourn, please shield your person from jailer able comforters.

Help pick their calls and keep records.

My kid sister was one of those who stayed with me in my trying moment.

When we could laugh a bit, she told me of how she tactically turned back a lady whom she saw carrying two Bibles and marching towards where I was like a "soldier". She said "the moment I saw her, I knew she would make you cry so I told her you were sleeping and took down her name and message.

My dear friend, Jiire Kuforiji was holding my hands when one pastor came in and began some tear-jerking songs. I mean, songs that ordinarily make you cry. He went from one song to the other and I broke down again and again. She went to him, tapped him on his shoulder and said "enough!"

Summary?

Please let us be sensitive.

The aim of our visit or phone call is to cheer up and to tear down.

It is not ever time we are around the bereaved that we find the right words to say to them. At such moments, please let us keep sealed lips...our presence is more than enough strength, trust me, it is.

Family / Re: How Does "Submitting" To A Man Improve A Woman's Existence? by ebonylomo1(f): 8:25am On Jul 30, 2014

DSuperWoman:
2) I like the way the first two questions are asked without adding marriage to the picture, so you femnists can shift goal posts when you like. I would answer the way it was asked. The key advantage of female submission is the same as the key advantage of male submission to higher (managerial or political) authority. It helps stem unnecessary conflict and it's effect.


NB: You feminists seem to have a warped view of submission. It doesn't mean being a puppet or blind obedience. It's simply letting the other person lead. In a group of women, there's always a natural leader. For whatever reason the other women look up to her and let her lead (even without realizing it). Why is submission an issue when it involves men?



I'm going to add to what this person has said.
First of all before you even start talking about submission understand what it means. Submission is not slavery

Secoudly, women are not commanded to submitt to any man. The bible clearly states that"wifes should submitt to their husbands" God is not a fool to have commanded women to submitt to their husbands. Cuz just as my "quotee" has said submission (just as in a working enviroment or army) is neccessary for the smooth running of the marriage. Two captains cannot lead one ship, two heads cannot be on a body and be normal that body automatically becomes a monster. You are not a slave to your husband but you are not his head or his equal (u submit to your boss in the office don't you?) That is why it is important for young ladies to know this before marriage so that you choose wisely.

My spiritual father (pastor) thought me that the first question you ask yourself before you decied to marry a man is "can I submitt to this man?" So you don't go and marry one ni co poop. U have to power to choose who u can submitt to ask yourself if you can abide by the decisions made by this man brfore u go into marriage cuz if u want your marriage to move on smoothly, God has given you the formular Woman subbmit to your husband


Secoundly you submitt to a man who will not take your submission for granted who truly loves u. Thats why in that same chapter it says first husband love your wife. When a man loves you he will listen to what u have to say he won't treat u like a slave or take u for granted. And a woman will submitt willingly and easily to a man that loves her. even when u feel his decision may not be right. You don't nag him about it.... Arrrrrh my thumb is paining me I hope I've made my point though.
In summary submission is for the family, you don't go submitting to every tom dick and harry because your a woman

Two heads on a body makes it a monster: the husband is the head

Submission is not slavery

A man that loves you won't take your submission for granted

Choose wisely he who you want to submitt to. Don't just jump into marriage cuz if u choose to marry a man u must submit to him

Fashion/Clothing Market / Re: Louis Vuitton, Christian Louboutin, Gucci And Prada Now In Nigeria by ebonylomo1(f): 7:25am On Jul 29, 2014
Thank God for China ojare!
koonbey: 1:1 in fashion parlance refers to "replicas",these are made in the same asian factories where the authentics are(outsourcing) .only difference is they are sold unauthorized by the label owner. since these fashion items have massive(how much does it cost to make a shoe anyway) markups,the black marketers can afford to reduce the price drastically and still profit,hence the difference in prices between authenticate and "fakes".
