israel boy: please guys, don't just comment for commenting sake, we all can learn from each other, you know this term is very common in most of the youths of nowadays dictionary (heart breaking) i dont want to experience such, so i always like to satisfy my ownself and my girl, no matter what.
i do ask her things she will love to see in me, and what she really wants me to upgrade about myself.

thank you all for your understanding

Sounds like you're really invested in this relationship and I honestly wish it brings you nothing but happiness .

israel boy: you are such a nice person, i love your suggestions, and thanks for really your understanding. your re a special person, and hope you will also find a guy that will make you so special.
thanks so much

Thank you . I wish you all the best. I hope she appreciates whatever you buy for her but be unique in what you get her. Let it be tailored to her needs/wants/interest. Goodluck bro

Afam4eva: I hope you will be there to console him when he gets dumped. We live in a realist and not idealist society.

I wasn't been idealistic at all. Not everyone wants the chocolate teddy bear and wristwatch birthday, valentine, and Christmas gift. I'm surprised girls aren't even tired of these things . And like I said, the poster knows his girlfriend best. Only him can decide what she would appreciate.

And if anything, I would be here on this page to console him. (which will probably not be necessary anyway)

[quote author=ShyM-X]That's what's up and I hope it happens by 2015. The West definitely needs to undo all the wrong(s) it did to Africa and how it underdeveloped the continent, and its people - but destroying the artificial borders. The way the whole continent is set up, Africa is too weak, without a defined identity, to challenge the West or Asia. We need to start from the scratch again. We've to destroy the artificial borders and allow the ethnic groups and similar groups create their own identities and form their own countries. With that; they'll be able to build great institutions required for nation building.

Furthermore, with the current set-up, the lousy claim about Africa forming a powerful force in the scheme of things when it comes to international politics, is just a pipe-dream. Currently, we stand for nothing. However, we're part of everything. We need to go back to our pre-colonial borders; redefine our identities; and create a new AU based on common interests.

Kudos to the yanks!![/quote]I don't know if I agree with this. I'm not sure about starting from scratch. Even if Ed break up into 50 smaller countries, won't we still need to work together in order to make the continent rise? As we are now, we already have inter-state beef and tensions so I don't think undoing the borders will entirely solve the problem. We need to be more selfless and more conscious of the common good. There will probably be disunity within smaller states anyway. All you need is grouping which already existing on a smaller scale.

shymexx: Buy her a dictionary, yano...

If she wants to be a writer; just ask her for reading list and buy her two or three books from that list. However, you need to add the surprise factor. Ask her in a sly way and get the books.

I agree. OP, you know your babe the best. Only you would know if she would appreciate a dictionary or books. Does she have a watch and the rest of the other things your friends mentioned? If yea, don't waste your money. Honestly, I would rather you bought something meaningful and that can add value to her life. Chocolate no go finish? Teddy beat? What's that? Wristwatch, maybe but not a biggie. You can always combine both anyway - books and a watch or books and chocolate.

Btw, if you want to buy a dictionary, please make sure it's one the best around (it's probably going to be a big one. And maybe include a thesaurus too?)

mtprofessor5: plz cn sum1 sumarize d story....itz f¤¤kin 2 long....dnt hav patience 2 read

Then you don't deserve to know. People also don't have patience to summarize. Read it when you have time or forget it.

@topic: started off well and got me engaged. He made some really sensible points especially I'm the first half. Not sure if I agree with the rest of it or not.

Interpreted as: proper management of funds is evident.
Those criticizing him should chill out. He did not out rightly state that he is anti-loans. He just said that they have done so much from properly utilizing and managing funds. When the government is ready to doors than their budget can afford, I'm sure they will look into it.

A lot of unnecessary noise. Biko, calm down

OP do what makes you happy. Don't be miserable for the rest of your life. Have no regrets. Nah you get your own life.

Per the uncertainty of getting a job in the P.E field, you will never know until you get there. If you stand out, you will make it. Where there is a will, there is a way.

P.S what is your own definition of success? As far as I'm concerned, the most successful people are those who do what they want to do and enjoy doing it.

I don't think the money is the issue here but his passion for/interest in his job. Mr OP, follow your heart. If you want to go into petroleum engineering, pls do so. It's your happiness that matters. You know what you want and what will make you happy. DO IT.

J12: I hate when women bring up these strange scenarios. If my wife is not feeling well, there are numerous restaurants around where I can get food for her or for us.

would you also like she got restaurant food for you both everyday?

Fhemmmy: Kai . . . Wetin i come do for the thread again early in the morning . . . Oh my gosh

Hehehehe u don enter am!

Fhemmmy: Cook and show us the pix oh . . .I am for sure eating beans this week, will talk to Wifey to please make it, though she is busy, but i will do extra work for house for her to do that for her man

ahahhahaha if I get around to cooking, I will def put up the pic. ahahhahahaha I like your idea and Im sure she will gladly cook it for you

now you guys are making me want to cook beans this afternoon...

damilola15: My advice go for lunch.

Looks good!!

Fhemmmy: Just your way of explaining alone is making the son of man hungry

Hahahaha no vex. lol

Fhemmmy: This is not the regular beans for Nigeria now, this is more like the Jamaican peas . . . might be available in Nigeria oh.

The second one is not waakye o. It's look like bean chilli and the first one is more like waakye with the stewed mixed in. But anyway oga Fhemmy, waakye is like regular rice n beans but they add some extra stuff to special baking soda/some leaves to bring out the color n the beans is also different

damilola15: I know but waakye the "street food" is not like the "regular rice and beans" you prepare at home.

Right right. I agree. Didn't know you was referring to the one prepared by street food vendors.

damilola15: BTW, I love "Egbo" and "Wachee or Waakye" because of the beans in them.

Waakye is jus regular rice and beans

shymexx: Nah, my microwave and oven are super clean. I cover my food all the time and for the oven, it's aluminium foil tingz. However, dirty wall is unacceptable. That's why most people use wall tiles by their cookers.


That's the world's best kept secret. Easy to cook and more than enough to feed on. Hey, take-aways as well. Ain't no nyggah got time to sit in the damn kitchen for hours, with the risk of burning his hands and shiit.

Good that your microwave and oven stuff in cooked in a clean and safe environment. Lol
Smh you need to eat better food lol. I can give you tons of easy ways to cook chicken. Lol

Yomii: I love eating roasted beans with fried pawpaw

Fried pawpaw Erm... How does that work? Lol

shymexx: Is ya kitchen dirty, the Egba one?

Shiit - my kitchen hardly see any cooking - it's as white as snow.

But I don't know about my oven and microwave, though. I need to check them when I get home.

Lmao!!! I think a dirty microwave and oven are worse than a stained wall. Lol!!! But no sir my kitchen isn't dirty. The Bathroom and kitchen are the two places that I can't stand being dirty!

shymexx: Bro., be careful before you turn into a mangina.

Women love abusing everything.

Anyway, any woman that wants me to cook for her better be ready for food poisoning, especially if it's on a Sunday, when I've got tons of sports to watch on TV.

Get in here and let's microwave these chicken wings together looool. Oven chips and burger - get the ketchup and let's get busy, hun.

microwave wings? Oven chips and burgers? Hehehehe that ain't food my niggz

Lakayana: what are tell us that your kitchen is no better than his ? Hmmm dirty people.

Smh. Read my post again. I'm not condoning the stained walls. My point is, some people (I no know if u sef dey among o ) don't know why kitchen walls get like that of which theirs ain't even better.

Lakayana: The kitchen wowo die what? Food from that kitchen go kill the wife.

And the buka down the street that produces delicious meals has a wonderfully decorated kitchen?

And for those claiming the OP didn't actually cook the food.... Unless you have proof that he did, I are no reason to not believe him. Furthermore, what makes it impossible that a husband cooked for his wife? Na crime?

People here be acting like they don't know why kitchen walls sometimes get dirty depending on what you use in cooking your food. Y'al should really chill. Your kitchen wall dey white like snow ni? Even snow sef dey dirty sometimes. Mscheeeeew.

(Not saying that the walls should remain like that or the OP should ignore it buy people should stop acting up and forming Biko.)

Evestar200: where was lagos state best athletics,,when delta win national sports of festival in lagos,,where was lagos greatest kids footballers when the delta state kid win d channel kids up in d same lagos,,,u re calling millitant and they are always in d top three in sports in naija,,eko oni agbero pple

Look this is not a competition between states. Forget about the national sports whatever they do. It's about what you do with those athletes after the interstate competition.

When these guys start bringing home medals and trophies for Nigeria, una no go remember say na Fashola "adopt" dem o.

We need more of these kind of things. Invest in people! Invest inthe youth! And the future of your country is secure. That's all you need.

Lobatan!!

Isn't this the same guy who once lauded Foday Sankoh and put him with the likes of Nelson Mandela?
