How do you guys know when your significant other is about to break up with you?

And if you are in a situation where you know it is coming sooner or later, what do you do about it?

(thread doesn't have much to do with me [I hope], but just curious)

i grew up stark poor in nigeria, so how exactly am i an ajebutter.[/quote]You should be able to tell that I was only kidding  

Do you know what they call concoction? That was my fancy food at one time.

What is that?

^-- It isn't the norm elsewhere in Africa, is it? Unlikely to be a poverty-related thing.

Perhaps the "big man" culture of Nigeria.

It is funny, as a kid growing up, I went to a church where the pastor was very poor and lived in a trailer behind the church. He took the bare minimum necessary to sustain himself and his wife; the rest was spent on ministry, helping the poor in the community, etc. So that was how I thought a pastor should be. Very humble and focused primarily on the Bible.

It was only when I grew older (around age 11-12) and started attending Nigerian churches and seeing a money-hungry attitude that I realized that not all pastors and churches have the same approach.

^-- Not everyone is an ajebutter like you, tpiah

Some of us have humble origins, and were not born into the lap of luxury

There was something on the WSJ mocking these Nigerian pastors as fraudsters a couple days ago.


I don't see what is wrong with bashing these pastors who plunder from their congregations stumble into mysterious wealth., btw. They are more than fair game.

JudgeDredd:
Beaf, in as little words as you can, please tell me the right direction in moving this country forward.

You seem to oppose tribalism and bigotry, yet, you egg on those lauding mediocrity and playing partisan politics. Remember you're yet to answer my question on why your innocent GEJ was cavorting with evil Tinubu, pre-presidential election. I hope you'll at least answer todays question.

I'll be back to check on your response later in the day.

You will never get an answer to this question. Notice how emptyheaded the little @sshat is when it comes time to discuss actual policy. He is bereft of quality ideas.

Just not a good policy. Will have the opposite effect, I think

Damn. That is some serious . . .

All over money?

Is this basically a tabloid btw? I went to the home page of the paper and all I see is sensational stories.

Crazy.

Kenyanstar:
East African men and particularly Kenyan men are by far the most admired of native africans. I find it odd that comparisons brought forward by some people perpetuating that compared to Nigerians the allure that a Kenyan can emanate in front of your girls will sure ensnare them to us. We are just that good, the best if you might say,

All of this is news to me

SEFAGO:
Well if you say so. I am not a big fan of financiers.

I see you have finally deviated from the holy and broke path of science/engineering work to seek the evil side of finance. Well what can I say to each his or his own, but the world does revolve around money.

I'm just trying to get paid, man

As a wise group of young men once said, "Cash Rules Everything Around Me"

Money sweet o

Blackrock is pretty sweet.

Man I hope I get something of that caliber when I finish.

Though I guess breaking into the industry period is a nice accomplishment.

@SEFAGO: I don't think he initially meant it to troll. He is a good guy overall, he just editorialized. And others took it in a certain direction.

Cassava can be dangerous and result in cyanide poisoning if not prepared properly. Signs of cyanide poisoning include headache, dizziness, agitation, confusion, coma, and convulsions. People in developing countries have died from improperly prepared cassava. Chronic poisoning can occur from cassava, especially in regions where it is a main food staple. The effects of chronic poisoning are paralysis of the legs, trouble walking, and poor vision and hearing. Regions where cassava is a main food staple are also susceptible to malnutrition due to its low protein content.

So this is the crop that gives Beaf Maggot nightmares, eh? The crop that he erroneously thought was a staple food crop in my Ekiti State, like it is in his Isokoland.

Do you think we'd be so dumb as to feed on poison?

Anyway, to any Isoko or other folk reading this, you should know I mean no insult to you.

That I have a problem with this very big fo.ol, hypocrite, and victim of cyanide poisoning named Beaf Maggot doesn't mean I have a problem with you.
