I just Got this,

Last night I dreamt that 33 Nigerian Miners were trapped underground and the govt sent a capsule down to rescue them one after the other, but the rescue had to be called off as the trapped miners could not agree amongst themselves on who goes first. Zoning was suggested but they could not agree on which zone will go first. Eventually in a struggle to all board at the same time, the capsule was damaged leading to the call off.

Oh dear. Sorry it was only a nightmare.


In fact the real problem was that FEC awarded the capsule contract to a 'Godfather' and we are still awaiting delivery 3 mths later. There is a probe going on to unravel this and retrieve the award sum before we get to the issue of what formula to adopt for the rescue and which miner comes out first.


Meanwhile traditional rulers from the miners' towns are paying solidarity visits to the President to thank him for his efforts to rescue the miners.

And the First lady has just invited the wives of the Nigerian miners to Abuja for dinner at the Hilton! The first ladies from the 36 states will also be in attendance. All including the wives of the miners will wear the Goodluck for President Ankara.

CNN reported early this morning that after 10mths underground all the 33 Nigerian miners have died and the Nigerian govt has declared 7 days of mourning during which the Nigerian flag will be flown at half mast.

To answer this question, we have to look at the man's psychological design. Men who chase women do so mainly because they want to conquer that woman, its an ego thing. The chase would normally cease after sex or when they are convinced they have 'acquired' the girl. This is when the lady now starts her own chasing, policing, crying and all that women mushy mushy stuff women do, just to ensure his attention does not shift.

The fact is that women would always tell you how much they like their man to be romantic and they usually live in this idealistic world of fairy, romantic, 'Mills and Boon' fantasy of what love should look like. Hence one of the reasons women stall is simply to savor the moment, they just love to be chased! (90% of women know if they would agree to date you from the first day of the chase)
The guys also find some satisfaction from the chase, looks forward to the day when he collects his price. Immediately this happens, he usually loses steam, and would only remain if he believes he is getting something out of that relationship, sex, companionship etc.  Now this is where the problem starts, while it was highly satisfying for the guy to send 10 text messages receive only one reply during the chase, the guy now expects three messages in response to his one, when he has conquered.

I grew up with several ladies and I have dated quite a few too, and I hear them say all the time, they want a romantic guy, who buys them roses, calls them all the time thinks of them 26hrs of the day etc, but the reality is that if their men behaved like that, they would soon get tired of him, not value nor respect him, and let me quickly add that no woman can love a man she does not respect. Take time and watch the film 'BEDAZLED' and you would understand

My advice to all the ladies in the chase phase of a relationship is enjoy it, as reality beckons.
For all the ladies in the post-chase phase, you have to add value to your man’s life if you want him to value you (and this goes for men too). Just ask yourself what it is that you are bringing into the relationship, beyond pretty face and sex…what else are you good for? This is what counts! Such things as sound and unselfish advice that would benefit him and his future, financial planning advice, care, do you make him feel big or small?
If you do this, he would always want to be around you…and even if his attention strays, I assure you he would be back!

The only tenable reason for a woman not to agree for sex with her husband is

1) She is unwell   (not the type that starts 2 secs after the mans makes the move O!)

2) Its that 'red' period of the month which in some rare cases can last for 5days or she just 'downloaded'. In which case the zone has a natural 'DO NOT ENTER' sign, visible to all, including bros.  

3) You are fasting (only on the condition that he agreed to abstain for that period)

A man who decides to fire on in these critical conditions, may really need some help (spiritual included) Having said that, it is an aberration to say a man can rape his wife. It should be called something else, like NCSIM (non consensual sex in Marriage)

Its just like the wife uses part of the house keeping allowance to make her hair, and tells the husband so. I guess it would be absurd for the husband to start calling the wife a thief or armed robber, even if she did this without his consent, afterall, he is supposed to take care of her!  So, i really think rape is too heavy a word to use for NCSIM. So my dear married ladies in Naraland, please do not tell your knight in shinning armour 'Ba Shiga' without clearly visible and understandable reasons, and he would continue to treat you as the queen that you are.

Husband raping a wife? Hmmmmm wonders shall never end. Why should a woman tell the husband no, in the first place eh! Abi she did not know that sex is the main 'course' in marriage? Eh! kai! When you refuse each other (sexually) the bible actually calls it defrauding so, maybe the brother does not want to be defrauded and so, he is just claiming his possesion.

Okay seriously, if the woman is not in the mood and the husband lacks the 'touch' to make her change her mind, she should just allow him, and asked him to be quick about it! And there would be peace in the land

Enjoy this dialogue between a Nigerian man and an American telemarketer.

Telemarketer: I agree with u sir. You are so open-minded about this. A lot of people don't understand why it is so important to hand-pick your final resting place before you pass on. It ensures you get the kind of burial you want for yourself.

The bible is clear, what ever you do; you have to commit it unto the lord. It is important that whether traditional or white, it must be committed to God.

Okay to the issue at stake, lets go to the bible; I cannot see anywhere marriage happened without the parents consent. In fact, marriage happens, when the person with spiritual rights over the girl, hands over this lady to the husband (including the spiritual rights) this person is usually the father of the girl. Immediately he does this, he looses those spiritual rights over the girl. This is spiritual rights concept between father, daughter and husband this is made very Clear in Num 30 [url]http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=numbers%2030%20;&version=9;[/url]

That is why the husband is the cover for the wife…not the girls father. Okay lets go on…

What this means is that the Father is the 'owner' of the girl, and until he give her away to another, she remains his ‘property’. If a man takes her away without his permission, he has stolen from the father, and sinned against God. It’s exactly the same way if someone steals your car, he has robbed that individual and sinned against God. God would definitely not be please with him. Please, please, I am not comparing women with 'items' but i am just trying to clarify a spiritual principle, so ladies bear with me. On we go…

If the above is correct, it therefore means that if a man gives his daughter to another as a wife, it is ABSOLUTLY acceptable to God! I have a right to give my property to anyone I please. Every other thing is ceremony, which is absolutely unimportant in the spiritual scheme, In fact, the ceremonies is purely for man and him alone. That is why no two weddings are the same, some are more lavish than others. Lets go on…

Since every good thing comes from God, it is pertinent that a true believe dedicates whatever God gives him/her back to God, so after the marriage (when the father gives the daughter to the man) the couple should dedicate their marriage to God. This could be on the same day of the traditional wedding or at a latter date, this is effectively asking God to come into the marriage and help you make it work. . This prayer can be 1mins 2mins or even 1hr depending on how the spirit leads.

In the light of above, I would strongly discourage sex before you dedicate your marriage. This dedication is a simple prayer and you do not need to take an oath. Its just like moving into a new house before dedicating it, I would not advice it. Dedication show that you acknowledge God as the giver of this good thing (marriage) that you have received. Remember the bible says, He that findeth a good wife, findeth a good things and obtaineth favor from the lord.

From the forgoing it is clear that sex after marriage, before dedication is not a sin, but an unwise step. Not praying in the morning and evening is not a sin, but unwise. Not dedicating your house before moving in is not a sin, but unwise. Being stingy is not a sin, but unwise, and the like. Doing such unwise things would invariably expose the individual to the enemy and you know what happens to those who fall into the hands of the enemy.

Do note that the tradition of white wedding is a western tradition, exported with the glorious message of our lord and savior. Please take this linkhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_wedding.

Remain blessed the lord is Goooooooooood!

Who would give birth to a man and call him 'Berti' This is a woman's name, no wonder our boys played like women

Berti has to vvvvgo!

I have spoken

Immediately we pack Berti's things out of Naija, we should concentrate on building and growing a Super Eagles team. Westerhoff did a good job in developing our football, we need another guy that can do this. Any idea people?

Lets not quarrel over Yekings and Ricky for now hmm
