Romance › Re: Why I Lost Interest After Meeting A Pretty And Intelligent Lady by essentialone(m): 8:18am On Oct 31, 2025
tobeezman:
I met this fine geh at a tech event in Lagos.
Before the event started, we had a little chit-chat and mehn, she was exactly my type. Beautiful, intelligent, confident, and we just clicked. You know that kind of connection that feels like you’ve known someone for years? Yeah, that was it.

Throughout the event, we kept vibing, laughing at the same jokes, sharing ideas, everything just aligned.

At the end, I asked for her name she said Linda.
Cool name.

Then I asked where she was from, she said Anambra.
My eyes lit up. I’m from Anambra too!

So I got curious and asked, “What village?”
She mentioned it and boom, it’s in the same local government as mine. I was like, “This is fate.”

Everything was lining up perfectly.
She was single, I’m single, we shared interests, goals, and background… until one tiny moment changed everything.

She gave me her business card and I didn’t see a single Igbo name on it.
Both her first and last names were English.

When I got home, I texted her, I asked, gently, “Don’t you have an Igbo name?”

Her reply?

“I don’t like my Igbo name, and I don’t like speaking Igbo either.”

That one message drained everything I felt for her.
Instantly.

It wasn’t about tribal pride or anything dramatic, it was just the realization that we might see identity differently.
Because for me, being Igbo isn’t just where I’m from, it’s who I am. It’s the rhythm in my thoughts, the tone in my laughter, the root of my values.

And when someone rejects that part of themselves, it feels like they’ve rejected a part of me too.

So yeah… I ghosted her.
Not because she wasn’t amazing, but because something in me went cold.
You are a very unserious person. If you needed a real traditional Igbo girl as your wife, why not go to the shrine in your village and pick one of the Village Maidens there in the shrine?

Ginaz:
Pork meat
Pork meat is only tasty to me when it is roasted, not cooked or fried. Pork has too much oil, and roasting helps to dry up the excess fat and oil so the pure meat taste can emerge. It is called "Faki" when roasted.

What’s the organic earning? Common sense strategy has to be applied to organic earnings. Search aj8 organic for further insight. In that way, the next earning is more mathematically predictable. However, what’s organic in one sector may not be organic in another sector. We need to apply small common sense in such too. It’s all about averaging out our expectations. No stock can resist appreciation above a price 4x its FY EPS as long as the earnings were derived from sheer sweat and administrative sensibilities, not even one. That’s the heart beat of the Common Sense Strategy.
And what is the Common Sense Target Price for Chams Plc?

Lesbians and scissors are like 5&6, why then did they adopt the boy? Women hate men for no reason. Men are always hated by women despite the care and love men showers them on daily basis. Women are just evil.
Very true.

This is a lie, we Yorubas are too laid back to even think of these not to talk of doing it, we morals to our kids right from childhood not tribalism. Why are we accommodating if we were taught to hate from home. White lies
Well, I just gave you a personal experience that is still going on at the moment, not like a past tense. Believe or doubt it. Your choice.

Mutual Benefit revised Common Sense target down to[b] 3.68[/b] and Cadbury’s to 50.34 . They had earlier touched initial targets but may be time to retrace on weaker results. MM are likely to make final last minute push before the fall. Watch volumes.

Purely on the Common Sense Strategy.
Please what Formula do you use to get those figures you usually put up?
Business › Re: Omo Igbo: Bokku Mart Faces Backlash Over ‘tribal’ Ad by essentialone(m): 4:15am On Oct 30, 2025
I have a neighbour whose 4 year old son usually call me "brother", sometimes I will even play ball with him, or teach him how to ride Bicycle. Later, I observed he became withdrawn. His name is Iremide. So, we all call him, Ire.

One day, I noticed that immediately I parked my car and was stepping down, the young champ was running towards me, and the mother screamed his name to come back to her. I actually thought it was because she didn't want him to run into an oncoming car. When she realized I was puzzled, she quickly told him to go inside and eat his food. When he mentioned he was not hungry, then she told him to shaa go inside and do his assignment. As a sharp guy, I took my cue from that, but needed to find out why.

Another day, he was outside when I was just returning from my Saturdays early morning workouts, and I jokingly asked him if he will like us to play ball, his response shocked me.

"No, I will not play with you. My Mummy says you are an Omo-Ibo". In that instance, the mother came out and heard him say it. She didn't know what to say. I just shook my head. I mean I know I could lecture her on the dangers of teaching children ethnic profiling, but how many Yorubas will I go around to teach that? Beyond all the fake smiles from Yoruba friends and neighbours, I have come to know that the hatred and resentment will probably last forever, and I have come to make peace with that Fact.

Everybody will be OK las las.
