Woooow!!!!

Its so rare to see men do this in this day and age.

I remember when I was little i would see men carry their child like that.

Miss the old times.

Dorrobucci:
So much on point.

97.8 percent of romancelanders are non virgins.

You will notice from their profile pics.

How do u know that?

Some might be lying to u that they aint Virgins because apparently Virgins are overrated these days so the feel embarassed by it.

The only way u will know is when u two are alone.

So if u are telling me that you know how many are non virgins it means u have tested it with all 97.8% of all nairaland?

Na wa ooo.........

She is such a disgrace to Womanhood.

Is that the kind of life she wants to live?

Dating ONLY rich men?

Na wah for u oooo.

Wait till when she meets a guy who pretends he is broke but deep down he is rich and really likes her then she chases him away with her "I only date rich guys" insult. Then the next day she sees the same guy with a brand new hot car then we will see who is the fool.

Ediot!!!

U dnt have no sense at all. Your parents must be really ashamed that they give birth to a daughter like you.

Such a disgrace!!!

Go and find a job!!!

Oloshi!!!!

CURRENTLY 1 POUNDS = N315.

I know i am speachless.

£1 is N315.19. This is absoulutely ridiculous.

I am going to spend less money from now on.

Unbeliveable

That is good news. Am happy fo her.

She finally got rid of him (am just assumin ooo)

Dont worry Toke, u will find a man who treat u like a queen.

He will not be with u because of ur fame (I think thats why he married you)

Take heart my dear.

Things happen for a reason.

He just wasnt the one for u.

I dont see anything wrong with what she is wearing.

How is this any of your business what she wears?

Its just a jumper or long sleeve top with a short jeans.

Its not like she was wearing a bikini on the road was she?

Just leave her alone. Am sure when you saw her you liked it.

And am also sure you have seen other ladies everyday that wear much more revealing clothes thAN hers

Toke my darling please take heart. Your husband is a dog and doesn't deserve you. U were in a relationship with him for 14 years and he decided to marry you and now cheat on u? Na wa OOO. This man doesn't deserve any woman Period coz he doesnt know how to control that thing between his leg. Chasing verything he sees in skirt.

Please Toke, I beg u in the name of God, don't go back to him. U deserve better. When I heard u got Married last year I knew there would be issues coz your husband's family or friends wasnt even there so what does that say to you? Please my sister, dont go back to him I understand you are in ur 30's and its a disappointment to not be married or u think its too late. Please forget that, Marriage is not complusory, You dont have to be married to have a family or to show you that you and your partner are meant for each other. This is not the olden days anymore. This is the 21st century. Please dont listen to all those praising your husband.

Marriage is overrated in our era. Women cheat. Men Cheat. Please ehhhhn. Remember ur advices u gave us ladies? Please do the same.

U know he won't change. For him to still do this to u even after he marired u after 14 years means he is still a little boy. Go find urself a real man.

Oloshi!!!!!

1020 and 1520... choii are phones that cheap over there?

Lol they are sort of expensive if you buy them alone. I am on a phone contract so I pay about £30-£40 per month for the Phone and Data allowances (wifi bundle, text and calls) So I will get 400 Minutes, 1000 text and 5GB data to use for the month. So for both 1020 and 1520 I pay £60 per month. Its a 24 months contract. I know £60 is a lot of money but thats the only thing i spend on myself every month so yh (apart from food, travel costs and extra)

its not your fault.. I believe windows phone is not for Nigerians cos alot of their brains cant take it.. so they stick to the simple android OS.. when I see a Nigerian who is able to fully use a windows phone, I would be impressed.

besides I believe windows phone is for the business class and not ordinary Nigerians


Lumia 535 all the way

Yes you are so correct. Windows phone is really good. I started with Nokia Lumia 520 then upgraded to 635 Now I have both the 1020 and 1520 which are so sick!!!!

Here in the uk most people use Iphone and Ipad and all i see is smashed screens. I am yet to find someone with an Iphone/Ipad that is not smashed.

I do like Samsung though but the downside of it is the Battery Life. Apart from that its good but Windows phone all the way!!

Thermodynamics:
Me I will never marry a girl that is not a virgin.
Reasons:

1. women that are not virgins tend to have some sort of spiritual problem like lack of favour, breakthrough and the likes " since God is against it"

2. being a virgin shows some level of discipline and self-whorth.

3. you respect your wife more when you marry her as a virgin.

4. Let's just say you just happen to meet a guy in the future who have FUC.KED your wife countless times. How will you feel.

5. marrying a Virgin is the only assurance that your wife has not committed murder ( ABORTION) thus reducing the possibility of childlessness, And even if she can still give birth, she is already cursed for committing murder.

I am not and never ever going to marry a girl that is not a virgin.

After you don waka from Sokoto to Jalingo finish you wan come carry your stupid self come near me, I go just shoot you. Basterd stupid runs girl.

Okay. I understand. But what of if she was previously married and then divorced because things didnt work out. U still will not marry her coz she is not a virgin even though she is a good woman? Thats not fair.

I am not married. Never had a boyfriend as men are just..................................... for me.

But come on thats not nice.

Chinum:
Wow, thanks so much bae. I appreciate.

Ur welcome babes

Chinum:
Can this cantu shea butter coconut curling cream be used on a relaxed hair?

Sure. You can use it on both Relaxed and Natural hair.

For better styling i.e you can part your relaxed hair into sections and then do bantu twists/knots on your hair (shown below) and leave it till the next morning then take out the twist and you will see how lovely it looks. It would look shiny and beautiful. Gosh I wish I wasnt wearing braids now I just dont like touching my hair to much, I like to rest my hair.

You can check out how to do bantu knots/twists on Youtube or you can click on this link below:

I like Chidinma's hair.

It really suits her (her hair is just like mine)

Seriously people, so what if they have a low cut?

Its their ACTUAL hair not extensions.

U lot of u say u dnt like women with extensions here u r bashing women who have low cut.

Also i didnt know if a woman cuts her hair she is a lesbian? On what planet? Thats old school!!!!

I cut my hair coz I wanted to try a new look for myself and it is natural thanks!!!

Leave the women alone.

Anyone can wear or do their hair anyhow they like. Its none of your business!!!!!

Naijasinglegirl:
Warning: This post is long but an interesting read all the same.

As at last year, my relaxed hair was bra length long. My routine was pretty easy. I had a relaxer every 3 months, I washed my hair once in 3 months, never deep-conditioned, used soulmate hair cream and my signature style was a bun. Days I wore my hair out, I was the object of admiration. Everyone wanted to know my 'secret formula' on why it was bouncy, long and fine textured.

It all started when I stumbled on some flattering photos of girls rocking their natural hair on Instagram. I was blown away.
Please note the first time I ever had a relaxer in my life was the
year before I got into the university. Before then, I grew my natural
hair four times (past shoulder length at one point) but my parents
always had me cut my hair for one reason or the other.
My mom was my personal stylist. On days she took me to the salon, people never believed my hair was fully natural. In essence, my natural hair texture was soft, wavy-patterned and very manageable.

So you see, it was only natural I assumed if I cut my relaxed hair and join TeamNatural (no pun intended), my hair was still going to look amazing. During my transition period, those who knew me in reality begged me not to cut my hair so I was confused. Some days, i told people I was only stretching my relaxer while I told others I was transitioning.
During this period, my hair
experienced massive breakage and if there's is one thing I can't stand, it's unhealthy hair! I was combing my hair one evening when I suddenly grabbed a scissors and instructed my sister to cut off my 5months post relaxed hair. She thought I was joking until I ran the scissors from my forehead to my nape. That was the beginning of my natural hair journey.
My friend in diaspora told me so long ori (shea butter) was still in abundance in Lagos and water was free, my hair was going to be just fine.
I went to bed after my big chop and when I woke up the next morning, not only was a combination of shrunken natural hair with early morning face an eyesore, my hair was dry, hard and brittle. Same thing happened every other night. Experts online said it was because I was not sleeping with a satin scarf.
The day I tied a scarf, my hair was dry as usual in the morning and I found the scarf under the bed when I was sweeping. I never woke up to find the scarf on my head no matter how tight I tied it. On the other hand, those satin caps that makes one look like a prophetess are rare to find. Each time I enter a random shop to request for it, the bush sales girl either gives me a shower cap, a lacy net, a hair net or she just stares at me like I asked for snow.
Day time is no different, once the water I spray on my hair dries, the hair revolts by becoming 10 times drier. AC-rooms are currently off limits for me.
As for my cheap wigs aka protective styles, it wasn't long before they began deteriorating...
I resorted to braids.
The first time I went to braid my hair. I tied a scarf while I negotiated with the hair dresser. When we eventually agreed on N4000 for tiny braids, I gave her the money to help me buy attachments while I watched her baby. As soon as she left, I took off the scarf and ran my fingers through my hair.
Good Lord!
Honestly, if I were in her shoes, I wouldn't touch my hair with a 9 foot pole. The hair was so dry that I was certain it needed drones to braid my hair. I had to steal water from her baby's feeding bottle to soften my hair. As usual, my hair got worse as soon as the moisture evaporated even after I sealed it with stolen pear's baby's oil.
When the woman returned to see me without my scarf, she stood by the door and said if that's the thing I expect her to dig her hands, she won't collect anything less than N5000 even if I were her sister. I'm not even going to mention the unbearable pain I felt each time she parted and tugged my hair. I had to beg her to forget I asked for tiny braids and make big braids. (I'm sure naturals reading this are mad I'm not using the word 'install'. Sorry!)

Talk about INSTALLING braids, they no longer come out as neatly as they used to be when I was retouched. My braids currently defies gravity, making it look like I have horns and the only way to counter this is to pack them into a bun all the time. (How do I fix this?)

Once, I tried that thing they call bantu knots and by the next morning, my hair was looking like rat ate some portion with patches everywhere.
My hair has simply refused to look anything like the photos I see on Instagram.
And when natural hair girls talk about twistouts, fingercolling etc. I'm just in my seat like

What are these ones saying.

I don't even know if my hair is type3, type2, type1 or A4. All I know is my natural hair is type-comb-breaking.
To worsen matters, I can't afford all
these fancy products other girls are putting in their hair.

Except,

Ecostyler: I applied ecostyler gel on my way out one afternoon and as I walked past a shop with mirrored doors, no one told me to run back home to wear my wig. My hair frizzled, dried and tangled badly when I was washed out the gel.

Edge Control: I've never been able to achieve that perfect instagram hairline. Each time I apply edge control, my hairline automatically turns white making it look like I applied an excess of sure deodorant on my forehead.

D&L Leave in: Excellent detangler for a natural on a budget. It feels great and alters my hair texture for one hour or so. After this, my hair gets very dry except I keep applying.


Organic Mayonnaise: Honestly, I don't know what this thing does for me though I use it every month. I just added it to my collection so my products won't appear scanty. It was cheap too. LoL


Virgin Olive Oil: I used to have one among the crew but it finished recently. My pastor gave it to me during crossover service in church and despite the fact that it was anointed, my hair was still dry!


Coconut Oil: Homemade. My family is starved of coconut rice because of my hair. This is where all the coconuts we buy ends up.


Water: All thanks to water, I've rocked my natural hair out from my house to VI which is quite a distance. I stored it in a smaller bottle where I sprayed subtly at Gbagdaba and at CMS when the traffic lasted too long. I also sprayed it at my host's office when he went out briefly. Water is great but the terrible itch that comes with it is not beans oh. My scalp is dandruff prone which makes it very sensitive to water especially when I am wearing braids. Once, I had to excuse my date at silverbird cinema so I could take off my wig and scratch my head peacefully in the toilet.
I no longer use water since I got the leave-in.

ORI: This is the only product that works perfectly for my hair. It just had to be local ori of all things! The cheapest hair product! Na wa o. Does this mean my hair is ajepako?


Have I also mentioned my hair grows like that of Jimmy Neutron of cartoon network, making it look like I have three heads because my bigchop was not properly done. Now I keep doing minichops weekly and microminichops daily. I even have a tiny handy scissor in my wallet to rid myself of straying hair strands.

Talk about home remedies to make my hair more instagrammable. What has this hair not eaten for breakfast, lunch and dinner from groceries to junk food?

I have mixed ori with egg white and milk.
I have mixed hot ori with coconut oil and olive oil. Do you know a mixture of these 3 is equal to castor oil?
I have mixed coconut oil with coconut milk.
I also get tempted to beat an egg on my head in anger whenever I open the fridge.
A popular natural hair blogger rinsed her hair with beer and when a commenter asked if malt was fine, she said yes. That's how this hair drank Guinness Malt for dinner that day. I even mixed mine with peak milk. Very soon the hair will say it wants Orijin.
The other day someone said my hair was smelling like salad. This was due to the amount of fresh mayonnaise I used as conditioner.
I have also used the juice from ugwu leaves to rinse this hair. (Vitamins treatment)
I did the famous sugar solution rinse. God blinded soldier ants to my hair that night.
It's left for me to rinse my hair with maggi water or chicken stock. That's protein treatment right?

My mom is having her last laugh cos she was against me cutting the hair.
Been asking her how she managed my hair when I was much younger but she has refused to bulge although I'm still on the lookout for the famous cocosheen of the 90's
I'm definitely going to return to TeamRelaxed but that will be when my hair is long enough to pack into a bun.
In the interim, how can I make this hair more 'manageable and instagrammable? Please don't mention any expensive product. I'm currently waiting for the price of bentonite clay, cantu and custard to drop so I can buy them. One of the reasons I went natural was to save money now the reverse is the case. I'm considering a texturiser. Is it advisable or is what I'm going through just a phase every natural girl passes through?

I understand what you mean.

My mom has been relaxing my hair since the age of Nine and finally one day when I was fed up of having two different types of hair on my head (perm and natural curly hair) after about 2 months without perming and since I hate the acid that goes on my head I said enough was enough am going natural So I read some stuff online like you did and waited for 5 WHOLE MONTHS for my hair to transition back to its natura state and it was still how it was before (natural and permed at the same time) so I did what u did. I cut off all the perm bits off and now my hair is really short but not too short or too big.

The day i cut my hair was the day I was going to church and I didnt know what to do with it? I was clueless as my hair was short and u cant do anything with it but I must say everyone at church was really shocked coz my hair was short and afroish. Everyone was commending me for it saying how it suits me or can I touch your hair please?

I didnt knwo I would get so much attention. Loll

Anyway, I wanted my hair to look really shiny as well as curly so I went online and searched for products I could use in the UK.

But I came across a lot of videos on Youtube mostly on Cantu Shea butter products for Black people.

I must say this, I LOVE CANTU SHEA BUTTER SO MUCH!!!!

The smell alone is so hmmmmmmmmm. Gossh. I love it!!!

I always use either the Cantu Shea Butter Leave in conditioner with one of my olive oil or Cantu Shea Butter Cocunut Curling Cream with my olive oil. Never use any of the Cantu Shea Butter product with another of its products together as it will become flaky. Also do not put too much of it (even though I do but I add my Organic olive oil to it)

Now my hair is so nice. So SHINY and Curly and when I come next to u, you will be smellign coconut

But I am going to cornrow my hair sometime next week (once I have gotten an approval from my manager to take to days off. He is taking his time as usual. Busy chatting on skype!!)

So yh... dnt worry about your BIG CHOP!!!!! There are other people out there who are in the same boat as u and trust me. U will notice your hair growing and u would love the texture of your hair. U can also try a product called Kinky Curly (am not sure if they sell the products i mentioned so far in Naija but its worth a try)

So go to an hair shop and look for Organic products that make your hair shine if you cant find the products I mentioned.

Ur hair will look like Chidinma's hair in no time (mine sorts of look like that but am getting there)

Good Luck!!!!

I love the pictures.

You are right. Nigerian women as hole are beautiful

Isn't it funny that you don't know the meaning of these names, or ain't you Yoruba?

Lol I do know what some of them are but I just want to check to make sure I do. Like I know Babatunde means Father has returned. Folashade means crown of wealth and Olanrewaju means my wealth is moving forward. And know the rest as well.

I just wanted to make sure that is what it means as I only understand some Yoruba not a lot. I am not that fluent.

I just met Temitope on Naira who has been teaching me Yoruba (in sentences) on whatsapp.

So yh its cool.

milychocs:
But they smell too
and I for one, cannot stand the rank smell of people when I am underground

I think there is a distinct smell associated with the different races...
When I am in the gym, the ooze from the very different skin types around me...always make me wish I am making a bad stench too
Like, I would just be literally wishing..."Lawd! I hope these people cannot stand the otherness of my smell, I hope my sweat smells really horrible to them the way theirs is to me"
True. I just hold my breath. A lot. The one that just about kills me is the white smell

I keep wishing I could meet a white or Asian person that I could ask "do I smell? Badly? How bad is this smell? Cos you smell pretty, really bad to me!" A person that would not not get all politically correct and instead would tell me the truth of whether I smell to them too
And oh yeah...a few days ago, I believe I could smell the stew I made on my scarf! True story! I wondered what it would be doing to my neighbours on the train, and I was glad at the thought that it could be a bad smell to them!
My little way of rebelling against ...well...a lot

I swear, there is no hatred for any race in this post
If you people don't know the smell I talk about, ignore this post
Maybe I have dysnosmia....or olfactory hallucinations

lolllllllllllllll. Ur a joker.

Where is...

+ Folashade
+ Folake
+ Olanrewaju
+ Bolaji
+ Bolanle
+ Rashidat
+ Kehinde
+ Yemi
+ Durotimi
+ Bukola
+ Folakunmi

Any one know the meaning of all these names?
