It has gotten to a point where you wake up in the morning and look at the person by your side and you begin to wonder if it was the same person that you were with in the evening.
Most women now are trying to avoid chemical in there body system by trying to stay natural,i am not saying that make up are not good but try as much as you can to be your self. God has given the African sister what other race are jealous of and we tend to rubbish it for the sake of artificial beauty.
The last time i was in Nigeria and i went to eat at a Calabar joint in ABJ,in my vege soup i found an artificial finger nail in my plate and i was not surprised because of our lack of hygiene and i can't imagine the quantity of fake hair that i had digested in the vege soup. Wish i could go back to the ages of my granny when all they could do was braid or cut there hair and looked wonderful.
I hope and pray that our African Goddesses will begin to realize that they are beautiful without all these artificial syndrome.

Mrs.Chima:
I am not knocking women that do that extra poo but I do give props when props due. I give all accolades to the sisters that keep it natural. Nothing wrong with being natural ladies.

When women of substance talk i always like to listen to them and i guess you are one of them. Keep it real and glow in your natural GOD given self.

Hmm, make I be bitter like alomo? Your title says "Vanishing Women" but e be like say you dey address both man and woman for your post. Cos bashing women go get your viewers and comments abi?

On-topic: Such is life. Media has played its role and continue doing so. Natural men and women are out there sha. Look wellu wellu and you go see say dem dey.

This days women are more prone to cosmetics than men with the exception of the HE\SHES.
But our natural beauty has been invaded so much that you can tell which is real. Most guyz will want to test drive before buying to see if the AIR BAGS are factory installed or

I hope you don't get to derail this tread once again

Why is it that most of our women are artificial these days. From their head to their toe, you will find one kind of attachment or the other, all in the name of fashion; the older ones inclusive. The men too cannot be exonerated. Some of them go for phallus enlargement and other forms of surgery. I quite agree that there should be genuineness assessment tests between intending couples. The rate of fashion vagaries is alarming, and all is vanity. As men and women we can only adopt our solutions,hold on to your chosen one and tell him or her that the world stands still for them other wise :-

its because of the money. once u have too much money, u tend to do everything else in excess. and eating/dining out is one of them. another thing is exercising. and definitely foods like pounded yam, eba, rice and others has lots of starch AKA carbs in them. Carbs minus Exercise equals Big Belle

I totally agree with you and want to add also that some see it as part of good living forgeting the harm they are doing to them selves. Men are not excluded from this topic also as some of them are like pregnant women or seem like the swallowed the shell of a turtle.

I think it due to greed. Taking our ladies out is like taking a shark out because they want to eat every thing due to the fact that they are not paying from there pockets.
Secondly they can never workout or exercise to burn the calories and fat they always consume (FOC).
I get so irritated when i see most of them on top of okada with there Tommy protruding in front and side ways,i begin to ask my self why can't they always look in the mirror before they wear what ever they want to wear. Some of them will even display there under wears to crown the ugly scenario.

Hi all,
My Brother's American fiancée wants to visit Nigeria but can't seem to get through the contact phone lines at the Nigerian Consulate in either Washington DC (1 202 986 8400) or New York (1 212 808 0301). Any help to get the right people at the consulates or helpful info on how to go about getting a visa to Nigeria will be greatly appreciated. She intends to stay for 3 weeks)
Thank you.

Tell her to walk into the consulate,she can even get the visa the same day with much stress.

Sorry to hear this,i have had such experience with the police on so many ocassion with my car. They always find fault for you to give them money,but i always tell them that my religion is against giving bribe and one time i was kept 9hrs at a check point just because i don't want to compromise with them. Change is coming soon in that country and belive in your self and stand for what in belive.

Demdem:
The mere fact that GEJ-PDP isnt in the equation suggest to me that your faculty is perfectly intact. Make your decision on time bro.

You said it all bro,i wish we can all think with substannce and act wisely for the benefit of our children.

just changed my 1999 Accord gearbox for N100k, pls who can tell me where I can get this honda ATF-Z1, my wife also drives an odyssey and I ve been told it has transmission problems too.
If anybody can help, will be very grateful.

Welcome to the Honda family.I bought an odyssey for my father from the US directly and after 7moths it started having transmission problems and i called my car mechanic in the US and he said that i should change the transmision oil. i did what he told me and behold the transmision stoped going into the reverse gear,i had to go buy a used transmision about 120k which lasted for only 4months till i had to buy one here from the US.
You can get the transmision oil from texaco and mobil gas stations,some times the visco 2000 does work for honda but my best advice is rather than wasting a couple of thousand of naira trying to repair or fixing just make up your mind and go and buy a used transmision at this honda market at oyingbo.They will fix it there and they have a wonderful guy there who knows about Honda transmision like no body else. You might try going to oyingbo with your car to see this guy before doing any thing,if he tells you any thing just do what he says. Hope this helps.

^^have your checked your mum's own, just to be sure.

you cant generalize yet until you do that.

hope it didnt stink when you were coming out either.

Wow i never knew that civilazation never crossed your part,wish you could be more civilized.

Goodyness:
I can't be bothered by outbursts like this. You guys are yet to answer my question, Why is the North supporting PDP governors and not a PDP president? Have they (governors) performed better than the president?

Question?

rlcanon:
hello to those of you imbicles that are going against Jonathan.How dare you baboon comment that Buhari is coming to cleanse the system.democracy or no democracy Buhari was in the system before the chosen one Jonathan.was this same Buhari under the rulership of Obansanjo not the Petroleum minister when 2 billion naira from the almight NNPC cover was declared missing till date?please you vagaborns should go and shup poo then close you dirty mouths.you people are evil and craving for recognition on nairaland.the last but not the least,nairanland does not recognise your selfish comments.any bonifade nigerians has the right to campaign any every nooks/crannies of this country called nigeria.shege,dan boro ba,oleeeee.

it is a pity that Jonathan cannot differentiate between PHD and PDP. Mr President sir education should be a process of self transformation. The ability to accommodate divergent of opinion without being threatened and the ability to take responsibility of failures either commited directly through an agent is what makes one civil and educated not paper laurels. One can hold PHD and yet not be educated. while on the other hand one may not have a single paper certificate like the immediate past president of Brazil and be seen to be highly educated. Mr President sir, we are in the twenty- first century. One quality of our timeis that we know our rights and we are ready to demand for what belong to us. You have dashed our hope like your predecessors. You said within six months there will be great improvement in power supply but after ten months the power supply was not only abysmal but water is also being rationed in the federal capital of Nigeria. You promised to fight corruption only to send defence minister to the celebration of an ex-convict Bode George’s prison completion. What a shame! In civilised society that action would be termed anti-state and you would be declared as an enemy of state. But since the PDP is morally bankrupt and it is the party in power, criminality is celebrated as a virtue. But Nigerians can no longer be deceived. It is a unianimous song that PDP pack your bags and go. Come april it will be NIGERIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SAI BUHARI.

[color=#550077]@OP try being a woman & u'll understand!

To be honest, if your hair starts to really stink then that weave needs to GO!!

If hair smells it needs a wash, we ladies don't have shaved heads like u guys so we can't always get a head/hair wash when we bath every morning! especially when we trying to maintain it, besides washing hair to frequently can cause head lice

I hope u gerrit now. . .but u can go ahead & ask your sister for more info. . .i'm sure she'll give u a w@nk on d head shed more enlightment on te topic[/color].

king my sister is like adding salt to injury,because i respect her and not being a bully i would have used my clipper to shave off those smelly hair on her scalp. But i wish our ladies could use there nose most times to understand those areas in there body that needs special attension.

nurabela:
If you get married after you become famous do you keep your maiden name or take on the husband's last name?

There is nothing wrong in a woman wanting to keep her maiden name as long as they both agree on that. I have come across people who want to keep there maiden names but it seems to long,they then had to take a some part of her and that of the husband and made it a new surname all together.I guess we need to wake up from our cultural deficiency's!!!

Goldieluks:
These Nigerian men are fools,they cannot protect their own,they come on NL ranting, moaning,nagging,swearing and cursing@ Nigerian women,
funny enough the Nigerian women,include their mother,sister,nieces and cousins,this is what these dumb heads fails to remember.You cannot go to
other social network sites and see a white man or an Asian man insulting or putting down their women.

Only Nigerian men,those jobless he goats,who don't have a life,they are so frustrated and are dying of poverty,hence they use their frigging last breath to hate on poor Nigerian women.



My advice to those bloody Nigerian men,who think they can come on here to write rubbish about Nigerian
women,those Nigerian men,who purposely went to the university,just to slag Nigerian women
those Nigerian men who don't have a job,but all they do is sit on their bloody laptop,to slag Nigerian women off.
shame shame shame to these classes of men,if you don't change your mind set,you would be forever blind to the truth,and the
truth is NIGERIAN WOMEN STILL REMAINS THE BEST!!!
GO FIGURE!!!!


P.S. I AM SPEAKING FOR THE NIGERIAN SISTERS!!!

What is wrong about saying what i have observed,i even used my sister as an example. I wish you could read my post once more and you will understand that i never mean't hurt any sister.

I don't mean to offend our ladies but i have observed this trend that most of our Ladies have this problem with there hair net "aka" shower cap or sleeping net. From my observation i have not been fortunate to meet any one of them that does not have this stench coming from there hair. I don't mean to be disrespectful but i have even checked out my sister too the same story. So i am asking my fellow men if possible our highly respected Ladies to shed some light on why this strange odour can't be dealt with. I hope that i am not the only person that has the same feeling.

i will be immigrating to the US very soon through DV Lottery and i would really love to hear from people who have been down that road before, how much did u spend?, how is d standard of living? how easy or hard is life over there in d U$ how re u coping with folks back home, is it really worth it? etc. your contributions will be highly appreciated, thanks

Don't let people dicourage you on taking decisions about what is best for you.Just have in mind that you are coming to the greatest country in the world and in other to excell you must be hard working and obeying the laws of the land,if you are lucky to have some education in Nigeria thats an advantage because you can upgrade your self here and get a good job and start your life,but you shouldw that it won't be easy and i know that you are determined to work hard. Pray that things will work out with your DV issues and the rest will be easier.

Welcome on board.
Land of the free, home of the brave but remember also land of unemployment and crime.
Hope u have something u can fall back on if it doesn't go well here?
Be hoping for the best but ready for the worst.
But does it really worth it? My answer is capital NO but who knows different strokes for different folks.
Another man food is another man poison.

I think that the issue of crime and unempolyment are major factors that are found every were,but the poster is trying to know how to adjust incase of his comin to America.There is one fact that we all know, America never be compared to Nigeria in any way all he has to know is that his mind set has to change about a lot of things and most of all is taking responsibilities of his actions and knowing that there is no free services in America like it is in Nigeria.And if he works hard sky will be his limit.

Well so much has changed this days.@ MMI.this days and the harrasment level has gone down so much,you will not be forced to give money out of your will,but if you have a course for them to ask questions then you better be ready to face and dance to their music.

Share your ugly experience while travelling abroad at the airport.

I have always had a smooth sail all the way from the airport,unless if you have something fishy that is when you will have an ugly experience. At the departure hall things are so expensive for sure but if you compare the price with other airports you will find out food and drinks are approximately sold at the price of other international airports.

@Maziuche0,What is nice about PortHarcourt that some body with a family can be happy about? When you want to compare Lagos and Portharcourt it terms of crime you have to live in Lagos to know that the crime rate in Lagos has gone down in Lagos in recent years and every body can"t go into petroleum business as you rightly mentioned in your post. The poster remember has a family and needs an enabling environment for the family too of which portharcourt does not have.Lagos has what it takes to be comfortable and do your business without stress.

I will strongly prefer you make lagos your first choice,port harcourt should be at the bottom of your list.

Port Harcourt is really poo and you will regret ever moving there. Lagos is preferable and more business oriented as you stated in your post. My best advice is to look into your options about Port Harcourt and see if you can cope with the mess over there.

emiloba:
can someone plz tell me the requirment of applying for a K - 1 visa to the u.s . all suggestions and advise are welcome .

The best place you can go to on the web to get a complete process on how to go about what you are looking for is www.visajourney.com. Am sure you will be glad you did,it helped me a lot on my process too with out any lawyer from the USA try to milk our purse. If you have any more question you can send me an email or leave your email and i will get back to you.But make sure you start on a correct note so that you would not have cause for delays. ll the best!!!

Long term effects of marijuana can cause damage to each of the major organ systems in the body. Heavy users of marijuana may appear slow moving and have difficulty carrying on a conversation. They may be suffering from a form of mental confusion that can't be corrected. A word is enough for the wise.
GRA in PH is smelly with girls that have the syndrome of (pay as you go) culture and it is very difficult to have fun when you have (slots) hanging and mingling around looking for which some body to take them for the night.I cry for the city and i label it SODOM AND GOMORA of the end times!

I hope you have a car or somebody that will be driving you around,don't forget also to take with you rainboots and life jackets. Port harcourt can be very boring and fustrating, hope you can have fun but i doubt it.

Thanks all for your comments, but I do know there are some dealers out there that want to deal for that amount!

The point there is that most people that bring cars down to Nigeria need to make profit for the stress and investment they made for the car and by the end of the day they eventually leave the cars to dealers at lots were cars are sold and they travell back,when an intending buyer comes to price the dealers will in turn want to add another two hundred thousand on top o the price you agreed with him to sell the car,one thing is that he did not invest in the business and you are not there to monitor who is bargaining up to the amount you want the car to be sold for.And after the car has been sold you have to pay the % that is involved with the seller(s) and thier shop. I know if you go to mandilas in Lagos you can get some thing with a good price but be careful of not gettting accidented cars.
