what's special about her gaining weight while pregnant, no big deal

majid anytime anyday

well done op,

wishing them success to see this through

good news, keep it coming please

Good one from the president, its long overdue

let's wait for his speech, hope it wont be a bombshell to Nigerians

Personally I don't see anything wrong in 'How are you' to me its a form of greeting that shows an individual is asking after your well being, I do ask my Boos that and he doesn't see it as big deal, he even answers well and even the wife, so I guess it's just some cultures that feel it's an insult

yorke: I hope he want to announce that patience is pregnant.

lmao

They can never change

good for nairaland at long last our voice were heard

Seun this is really not fair, a rule that applies to one religion should apply to all, what you are trying to say in essence is that other religions can be trampled upon but not islam this is really portraying them in a very bad way i.e they are not tolerant

set the guy up, simple as ABC

[quote author=baby_123]Am sure you were well raised, but you refused to take it by insulting women anyhow. If you sleep with a LovePeddler/slag/slut nd all sorts, what does that make you? An angel? No my dear, you both are the same kind of human being. And if she gets pregnant, you both deserve each other and the offspring. How can you even put responsibility on the girl? "She let herself get pregnant?". How? By divine intervention? If you were not there banging, sweating and pouring away, she cannot have "allowed" herself to get pregnant. Stop making excuses, you are a man now not a small boy. The day you decide that you can locate where a girls punny is and you know what to do with it, you have become a man. When you get her pregnant, you have become daddy and okurin meta. No explaining irresponsibility away again.[/quote]Gbam, that's the undiluted truth
