@OP

with such scenario,
I nack the pretty girl, but never get married to anyone

acidtalk: I used to make a mistake of being wise in the past. But you keep confirming your level of stu*pidity. That's why you are still old, single and miserable.

All your nonesense feminist ideology is the cause of your problems in life and not me. Face the topic or drown yourself in your sorrows.

Bloody nuisance. People like you are the people that mislead other young ladies. Because you have lost hope of getting a man to marry you , you will come out and start giving wrong advice to innocent girls.

The bolded are not a great statement for a mature guy to make to a lady, no matter the circumstance
whether true or untrue
especially in a public space

Just my take

@OP

I can still remember that day. LOL

my mum had bouth a science series for us to read. one of them was in biology
my siblings and I argued excitedly about what we were seeing
so we ran off to mum to clarify

"mum read this" I said pointing to the portion of the text
She started reading:
"for conception to occur, the man has to insert his pe.nis into the vag.ina of the woman"
(*exact quote from the literature. Kai, see as I still remember*)

We couldn't hide our giggles, now we knew where babies came from
We repeated that quote a thousand times to any adult who cared to listen
almost like we were telling them that we now knew their nightly shenanigans

Umhh

I am sure she has a destiny to provide nourishment to the needy

o my ishilove

I pray that your yin plus yang plus neutral

No weapon fashioned against them shall prosper

Dear ishilove

my sweetheart
the most beautiful e-girl I have ever met
your beauty and brilliance sends the shivers down my spine

God bless the day I met you,
ever since that day, our lives have been full of so much joy and excitement
I love that queenly twinkle in your eyes
as your lips curls into a soft and juicy watermelon smile

Those elegant limbs of yours tell a warm and delightful story of gracious, spritely strides
Your delectable finger tips are dipped in honey,
your palms softened from cleopatra's creamy bath

I like the way you finger the keyboard/keypad
starring at the stary night from time to time through your window
as you curl on your bed bossom touching pillow
to conclude the exciting epistle
of your engaging wasimi chronicle



Always yours

@Op

there are some ways u shld never chase a girl
If she doesnt pick your calls, let go

If you really, really want her and insist for the sport
then first check yourself. Are you her type?

If you are, then what is her relationshp status?
you could chillax and enjoy being her friend for a while, while pursuing some other date

You cld then strike later when she melts unto you

I'm not really shy (i think)
Its just that you say hi to a girl, and you sense that she is already making decicions about what she will do or not do with you

Its tireing

From my experience, JW girls are the toughest to crack physically once they are regular church attendees
For the others, even the female pastors and prophetesses are easilly tempted
I don't know why

naptu2: Thanks very much. I think it's important that we never forget Nigerians and other Africans who fought in the 1st and 2nd World Wars.

I'm still trying to find Barnaby Phillips' original documentary for the BBC. I haven't found it, but I found this write up by Martin Plaut (the BBC's Africa editor), who interviewed some Africans (including Nigerians) who fought in the 2nd World War.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/8344170.stm

To see pictures of Africans who fought in the 2nd World War, click the link below.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/spl/hi/picture_gallery/06/africa_africa0s_world_war_ii_veterans/html/1.stm

I do not feel that Nigeria had any business fighting in ww1 or ww2
however an important commentary in the documentary caught my attention
The one on how after fighting side by side with the whites, africans beging to appreciate the common humanity of the whites
This sought of scenario seems to hold true even today

I have noticed that freedom fighters in Africa, where mainly those that schooled abroad
Presently you would also notice that Nigerians that have lived in the West seem to have little regards for the whites
whereas many that have lived all their lives in Nigeria seem to hold the whites in awe

Just my toughts

miqos02: When will mtn list on the nigerian exchange? Dem dey craze

I guess they will be willing to list on NSE when their profits start dwindling
We then rush in to buy expired goods

and the rich take our money and get richer

when I was very young, I felt it was silly for a girl to date someone much older than herself (max 2 years older). Anything younger was acceptable
As I grew older , I felt it was silly for a girl to date anyone more than 7 years older than her. Anything younger was acceptable

At my present age, I now feel it is silly for a girl to date anyone more than 16 years older than her. Anything younger is acceptable
When I'm in my 70's, I suspect I would feel it is silly for a girl to date a guy more than 40 years older than her. Anything younger would be acceptable

Umh........
Just musing

Temi 23: Hello Nairalanders,
This question has been bothering my mind for some time now!! How do you know if a lady is your wife to be and
how do you know if a man is your husband to be.
To the married: How do you know he or she is the right one for your life..

Is it through your instinct or through prayer by pastor or you just go ahead...

There are many right ones out there
You'll have to date to find out, or receive recommendation to settle for one

Then you take the plunge and hope for the best
na so life be

Am just me: When is it the best time to achieve a lot in one's career? Is it before or after marriage?

It could be anytime.
But if you're banking on after marriage, then you must choose a wife or husband that will enable you
and not pull you down

wow, this move has virtually given Cyril Ramaphosa total control of MTN
kudos to him

Like the South Africans, Its about time our own businessmen push into other geographical markets
If our pastors have been able to do it, then our businessmen should not feel intimidated

No doubt, the print media around the world is dieng off under fierce competition from social media
One of the reasons for this is the churning out of live stories which the print media is notoriously weak at

It therefore surprises me that the Nigeria print media has perfected the art of using old photoshoots
I mean, it only makes sense to use photshots (or is it photo captions) that show captured events that relate to the topic at hand
thereby helping the reader relate to the even that is being narrated

For example, in thisday I just read an article on the Governors forum having a meeting.
The photo associated with this story was an old one of Amaechi sitting on his golden throne

What would it take for readers to see a picture of the governors during or after the event?
this only makes sound business sense

naptu2: Archbishop Benson Idahosa.

I loved this man

Starlett: Y'all have any idea how much this man Fareed charges as speaking fees for such unlicensed lectures? SMH..

Umh, new angle
Was he taxed in Nigeria for his speaking fees?

(*Kai see my joblessness o. I don turn to Internal revenue board*)

naijababe: Hehn! Where this Lola story?!

U really want to get ensnared in another of ishilove's sttories??
I laugh in tongues

As for me and my household
we have learnt our lessons


This girl na one of the few reasons why I still dey visit nairaland everyday
another reason no one professor wen no dey write regularly again

I'll politely stick to this one only
wen im don finish, I go pack my bags run far far away from this girl's never ending tories
and probably i'd be in a better place to break NL addiction

...uninformed comment previously posted

but the guy na bristish sha

^^^
"How does this affect the price of Garri"? some may say

My critique is highly ineffective with regards to getting to the major subject -Fareed, and challenging what I suspect to be borne out of faulty assumptions
He go make im cool cash commot
I have no bitterness on this

1) But the very act of critiquing constructively in a public space like this helps me prune my critical-thinking/analytical skills which is crucial to my own line of business
2) It helps one or two other persons discover/carve out an alternative view point which could be useful to them now or in the future
3) It helps me further discover the default view that foreigners could have of me, thereby giving me the advantage of being steps ahead
4) You never can tell, a future president (no matter how small the probability is) might be reading these things. This could help shape his/her mindset in developing strategies to take Nigeria to the next level

wesley80: Star struck by Fareed? Before or after his plagiarism battle? Dont get me wrong, I'm a fan but I dont see how I'd ever get star struck by fareed not to weigh his opinion objectively and I believe same holds for those that made those comments - Fareed presented a great lecture/speech, heck he pocketed upwards of $50,000 and it had to be earned and it was.
I know there are those that view him as a highly overrated analyst but that just the way it is. I'm no fan of Segun Adeniyi as I find his write ups too empty and bland except when he's offering a narrative but even he could'nt take away anything from Fareed. Maybe you read some other portion I didnt but from Segun's summary, It seems most unfair to pick out those few sentences and point to it as evidence of a sadonic speech.

Don't get me wrong. I did like a large portion of Fareed's speech
I especially liked his conclusions on the opening-up/widening of the 10 percentile global power/intellectual/wealth space to people from a more diverse background

However I feel it is only fair to pick out portions of someone's delivery and critique it (not neccesarily the person at first)
It has a way of driving the originator of the 'comment' being critiqued to improve in the next delivery

Also, as one critique these little portions of information, it is not imposible to find out that they are rooted on wrong personal assumptions that need to be corrected (by either (or both) the critic and the person being critiqued)

For example Sarah Palin once thought that Africa was a country.
Imagine her making comments about Africa as a vice-president of the US if those assumptions were not corrected
She could maybe say stuff like "Africa is a failed state because it has Mugabe as a president"

Another example of how personal and erroneous assumptions could be the root of faulty commentaries/decisions
is the mistake that some western media analysts make with Nigerian (9ja) vs Nigerian (Niger)
I have seen instances (can't recollect exactly where now)where Niger's woes have been attributed to Nigeria because of this thinking pattern

So great guy Fareed is, yep
but i have a thing for sensing or seeking to discover the engine/assumptions that drives people's actions and delivery

81) First write down the Vision, then make it plain

(You'll thank me soooo much for this tip when you start using it )


We recieve so much information daily,
Could be from Church, friends, TV, Meditation, dreams, conversations etc
The synthesis of all these information somehow drops ideas in us

By the next day, these ideas might have faded off, and we are left floating in daily routines and life's vicious cycle
A long time ago, I learnt to write down my ideas and objectives on a plane sheet of paper, I then write out tasks that feed into acheiving the ideas
Next, I paste it on my wardrobe door, where I can easilly see it every day (and safe from the prying eyes of friends and mockers)

I then try to acheive these littles tasks written on my task-sheet, and strike them off once they are acheived
The task-sheet helps keep my memory fresh on tasks needed to push me to the next level

So, when i get blinded by the maddening sand storms of life, its rat race, its pleasures and its distractions
I reach out for my task-sheet.
It tells me how far I have come, and what I must'nt let off my sight
