Chillisauce: What is your height? Don't go and turn into skinny bones because of naijababe. You don't know her height or if she has natural big boobs, Curvy ass etc. All these matters when you target your body weight.
I weight 62kg and I looked so much like skeleton bones every where .
I had to go back to my 65 to 67kg.
I have natural hips don't lie and it will remain that way.
Although looked thinner because of the exercise . Mostly muscles added to the weight .
Efe, THROW THE WEIGH AWAY AND LOOK AT DRESS SIZE AND TONED BODY!!!!!!!!
EFE!!!!! Throw away my scales?? Not gonna happen oh! Besides, I've not quite got there (yet). At least lemme reach 65kg first...  |

queen47: Chai....congrats dear. I am happy for you but at the same time jealous. The scale reading has been going up for me but i am fitting into my clothes that i couldnt fit in to before.... i no know whether na this JM woman work out.
In fact, i have not even done it since friday or so but i started running again same friday (40mins/day). I am amazed at how good i am getting at running. You know, when i first started running, i could hardly go 5minutes without resting. I will be totally outta breath. But now, i can go 30 minutes non stop.
Today, i did 35mins run plus level 2 JM workout. I wanna push myself a bit more and shake things up a bit.
Goodnews is that i wore my size 8 top to work today.
Its just this scale i dont understand. I am just gonna stop weighing myself abeg....i no wan vex Size 8??  This girl, I seriously envy you oh! I think my case is that of Slow 'n Steady. The weight is coming off, but ever so slowly, but then again, that's to be expected since I haven't really changed my exercise routine that much (and I've had few cheat days too..  ) Exercise-wise, it's still do the daily (Mon - Fri) 30 mins sit-up / lower abs workout + 30 min run (3 miles). Took yesterday off to give my body some rest and slept for a good 10 hrs last night. I tell you, having a good night's sleep is soooooooo important, and your body even burns a lot of calories that way too. Anyway, I decided to spice things just a teeny-weeny bit more and did a 1 hr run after my 30 mins workout. One thing I'd like to say is that doing that 30 min workout first, kinda loosens the knee muscles. I also make sure immediately after my run, I spend 5 - 10 mins stretching my lower 'n upper body. That way, there'll be no after effect muscle pains from running. You should try that too. Weight this morning: 68.6 kg - t'is tough sha but if peeps like our matron Naijababe (kudos to her!) can cruise at 62kg, then I see no reason why Efe can't. Me sef, my aim is to hit 60kg. Breakfast this morning was the usual concoction of a large glass of squeezed lime and lemon in hot water, some cucumber slices, cherry tomatoes, and an extra 500ml bottle of water. Happy Sunday to all our fitness ladies on here. (And guys too...)  |

Men, in my quest to eat healthily, I seem to be going down the oriental path. I don't remember the full name of this stuff, except that it's called something...something...Chicken Ramen. With seasame seeds, sweet corn, cucumber, marinated / seasoned egg, bamboo, noodles, spring onions and some other stuff. Smells good though. Oh, and there's chicken broth in the cup. (Is that healthy?? But then again, these people dey live up to 120 years...) I'm meant to pour all that in the bowl to form some kind of soup. But I'm supposed to eat this with chopsticks??  Got back up spoons here, in case of in-case-ities  Hope this thing no go run belle sha. Okay, here goes....my fellow healthy eating sisters, make una wish me luck on this one. If I survive this, I go gist una...

kandiikane: What rubbish.
At this day and age, women can freeze their eggs in their prime and either carry it or get a surrogate. Are you a learner? If you did not know, male fertility also declines with age.
A 60 year old woman with money can still date a younger man. You be learner? I don't understand why men like to believe in falsehood. The same reason a young woman will be with an 80 year old man, is the same reason a young man will be with a 60 year old woman.
[b]I am up for who ever wants to be with more than one partner as long as women aren't judged for wanting the same too. It is not only men that do not enjoy monogamy. Just remember that whilst you are there enjoying yourself between the thighs of a young woman, your wife is on top of one virile young man like that(and as luck would have it, no babies to worry about). Is it not on this same forum recently that we saw pictures of two young men marrying women probably old enough to be their grandmother? The writer should just shut up and continuing fucking his mistresses. Your marriage has been like "heaven" for 45 years yet you are preaching about the hypocrisy of monogamous marriage. The only link with hypocrisy and pretentious with regards to this whole writeup is the the writer himself. Why not write about how you and your wife managed to make heaven out of your marriage for 45 years for others to emulate. For una mind now, na only woman can mange one preek for life. Mtchew!

amtheone: There is so much sense in the article. If the world was a better place, maybe a lot if things would have been done differently. We live in a world where one cannot be completely happy.
I think the issue of one man to one woman was to help reduce conflict within the family, but many families are still struggling with so many internal issues even though it is a monogamous family.
In conclusion, I would have suggested that one should go for what gives him/her happiness but that will be an act of selfishness because if what gives one happiness will cause the next person pains, then one has to forgo such happiness. But by this, we now force to go into hiding or pretence because of the fear of what our open conduct will cause our partners.
In submission, one cannot have it all. We now have to take some and leave some, for the sake of those we chose to share our life with Really, what's the "sense" in an outrightly skewered sexist article as this? Do you not think it ought to work both ways for both sexes? Or are you proposing that the man should keep several partners while the woman sticks to her cheating partner? The cheek. |

Literature › Re: Is English Literature Really The Best? by EfemenaXY: 4:07pm On Aug 23, 2015 |
Freemanan: Okay my literary folks. I had an argument with a friend and the topic was if English Literature comes on top of every other Literature.... So What's your take on this? Is the English Literature greater than the Chinese Literature, African Literature, African American Literature and the Hindu Literature??
Cc: Sensible folks.... Literarymarthy Omotayor123 Impossible to say. At best, it's subjective and subject to personal opinion. I also think it depends to a large extent on how the writer(s) representing a particular culture relay their messages to readers. If you're good at your game, people out there would enjoy your work(s), irrespective of culture. Having said that, I personally love traditional, African literature. African literature in my opinion just ROCKS!! Especially if the theme and setting is based on ancient times. |

Literature › Re: What The Hunter Saw. by EfemenaXY: 3:50pm On Aug 23, 2015 |
PapiWata: Close to midnight along a desolate stretch of road near a sleepy southern Nigerian town, a subsistence hunter ventured out into the night with his foul-smelling calcium carbide headlamp strapped in place, and his locally made muzzle-loading Dane gun slung over his shoulder. He made his way towards the turnoff that would take him to the corn farms where he anticipated a good evening’s hunt, seeking to shoot that elusive and delicious quarry, the African Grass-cutter Cane Rat, which invades farmland in the dead of night, in large family groups capable of decimating crops in a few a short hours. As the hunter rounded a corner in the road, he spotted a passenger bus parked with the lights off, in the middle of the road, with several men sitting on the ground near the vehicle in the moonlight smoking weed. Living in an African nation where the possession of marijuana still sees many slammed in jail for years without trial, the hunter knew that the sweet fragrance lingering in the air meant he had wandered into the midst of hardened outlaws, and would need to keep his wits about him to survive the chance encounter. One of the men exhaled a huge cloud of smoke into the night sky, and rose to his feet to address the approaching hunter. “Baba, you no dey fear ? See how as you dey wakka for this bush road for night. You no know say we dey here ?” Keeping his voice calm and steady the hunter replied “Na meat I say make I find go this night oga. Na hunter be my work, wey I sabi pass, so as nothing dey house, na him I come face hunter bush go.” From the shadows several gravelly voices laughed briefly, and the smell of the weed grew stronger. After a pause that seemed to last forever, the hunter was allowed to go on his way, in exchange for a promise to share any bush-meat that he harvested during the night’s hunt. Hugely relieved that he had been allowed to walk away from a group of hardened highway robbers unharmed, the hunter headed off into the night, noting as he walked by, the pair of Genera-Purpose Machine Guns leaning against the parked passenger bus, their lethal chains of 50-caliber ammunition coiled on the ground like angry serpents. Several hours later in the half-light of pre-dawn, the hunter headed back to his village along the same road on which he had earlier met the highwaymen, his confidence of a peaceful passage home buoyed by the fat cane rat that he had bagged after much patient stalking in distant corn farms. By now he could make out the litter of emptied bags and cases once owned by road travelers, and the bandits were gathered in a circle, sharing amid much shouting a substantial pile of cash and personal effects, all harvested during a full blockade of all lanes comprising a nearby federal inter-state highway, creating a motorists’ hell on Earth that lasted for much of the night. As he edged his way past the arguing gang members, a familiar voice called out to the hunter. “Baba, how far? I see say ya bag don full. Wettin you kill for bush? “ The hunter turned over the fat cane rat he had shot to the gang, and in return they tossed him a wad of cash that was far in excess of the price his bush-meat harvest could have fetched in the village. Satisfied at having scored a profitable deal with the gang, the hunter resumed his walk home, with a spring in his step. A few more minutes down the road, the returning night hunter met up with a fellow hunter just starting out for the forest in order to hunt for monkeys at dawn. The returning night hunter quickly warned the outbound day hunter about the gang of bandits out on the road to the forest. The day hunter ignored the warning, and continuing down the road towards the forest where he had hunted his whole life, had just one sharp bend on the road to turn, before he would have been face to face with the gang, when he spotted an antelope in the roadside undergrowth. Forgetting in that excited, instinctive moment the dire warning of his fellow hunter, the man took careful aim at the antelope with his single-shot muzzle- loading blunderbuss, then touched off a monstrous, reverberant boom that sent the nearby gang diving for their assault rifles, with which they then proceeded to light up the surrounding landscape in a sustained barrage of automatic weapons fire that was heard for miles in all directions. To be continued .... What an enjoyable piece of writing. More if you've got it, @OP.  |
