Useless gender. I've told guy's, once you feel Hot, kindly get an overnight hookup girl for payoff than wasting effort on relationship that will only lead to more problems with financial drainage.

Lol.

It is quite amusing that a married man is advising singles to patronize hôôkers instead of investing into a healthy relationship.

This doesn't tell well of your marital life, if really you're married.

And also, as a man, it is quite irresponsible to openly brag that you've been a cheat for decades without getting caught.

I believe you should be in your 30s or 40s, bragging online about you being a cheat is VERY TACKY.

I like Flavour's style of music actually. He praises women in his songs; this is better than that werey that sings "If she nor suck" .

He also releases "Detty December" groovy songs for festive period.

One of my favourite songs of him is this "Black is beautiful".

Oh Please! Are the married women sleeping with themselves?

How does one describe a taste or smell? Lol!
To me saffron threads brewed in hot water tastes something like wild/unrefined honey or like flower nectar (My siblings and I would suck nectar out of flowers as kids so I'm kinda familiar with that taste ).

I also feel it distinctively smells like a type of flower when brewed in hot water. I never pick any notable taste when put in rice, but saffron threads do make bland white foods colourful.

Oh, you go find a good restaurant and get yourself that kebab. Kenyans have massacred that dish. You should see what they call 'kebab'.

Kenyan tea is one of the best in the world. It's even exported all over the world. But many Kenyans like to brew tea with no spices at all. No cardamom. No cinnamon. No ginger. No lime. Nothing. Just that particular taste of tea is what they crave for. My stubborn father is a good example. He even has his own milk:water:tea leaves ratio and each item follows a strict order in which it's added to the pot. I'm the only one who can handle his "little ways" whenever he comes over to my home. Even his tilapia has to be prepared in a certain way. Anyway, my old man's story is for another day. I can write a book about him.

Glad to share, but don't get surprised whenever I don't respond to your mention(s) sooner. Sometimes I "disappear" out of Nairaland to answer certain calls of duty.

Omggggggggg!!!!! I thought I was the ONLY weird child in the world that used to suck the nectar out of flowers. There was one flower plant in my house that suffered in my hands as a child, I sucked the living daylight out of it. It was so SWEET! But I later got a pollen allergy from the flower and my father cut down the plant down to its stem. I legit cried.

But it's good to know I wasn't the only one who sucked nectar as a child. I wasn't weird after all.

I now know how saffron threads taste like. Looking forward to it some day.

Hahahaha what do Kenyans call kebab. I'd like to see it. 😂😂

Had no idea Kenya tea is one of the best. Good to hear that, we do learn everyday.

Nigerians are the worst, we call hot chocolate "tea".

What type of tea do you like? Green tea? Lavender tea? Ginger tea?

Lol. I think old people like sticking to ways that are familiar to them. I won't blame your papa that much.🤣

Nahhhh! No offense taken at all. We all have lives outside of Nairaland (except trolls) so you can respond at your convenient time.

FalseProphet1:
That's spiritually wrong.

That's your cup of akamu.

FalseProphet1:

Eunoiaa:
Your sisters from Plutoverse.

Hian!

I wish the sisters from Plutoverse "Godspeed".

Anything that makes one happy really.

I don't buy into the idea of first salary sending it to Pastor.

My first salary I spent on my parents and MYSELF.

Virgo01:
Okay then, thank you. Will give you heads up when they've started admissions.

Yes please.

Do let me know when admission start. Thank you too.

Girls Heartbroken and In Tears After Singer shallipopi Unveiled His Oyibo Girlfriend

Who are the girls that are heartbroken and in tears please?

Mtchewww!

Virgo01:
Oh, alright, thank you so much for the update. I believe his silence is because posting has not started yet. And yes, they haven't even given admissions yet. Thank you so much. I'll contact you as soon as admissions are given, I believe that preceeds posting, right?

Thank you very much once again.

Thank you.

Yes cos the radio silence is deafening.

Certainly, admission precedes posting.

Hopefully when admission starts, the officer must have given feedback.

I understand that the current set of NLS students will soon leave the various campuses for externship. I believe NLS will then focus fully on the backlog set.

Ceenachi:
E b like say na only me notice one black boy who so much interested in the music. His emotions, reaction, everything na top notch. I no sure say E go sabi book

You can't really use his love for music to determine his intelligence. Music is an expression of feeling.

I was worse in secondary school, had a music book that I always carried about and did rap with my classmates. I wasn't dùll.

I still carry that emotion anytime I play music I vibe to.

Besides, "Lonely at the top" is an addictive song.

Their food is spicy, but not hot chilli spicy. They use warm spices - cardamom, ginger, cumin and sometimes unique spices like saffron and rose water.
I don't have a particular favourite dish but their kabsa rice and chicken dish is something I'd eat for life. Then there's another rice and mutton dish I had in one Arab restaurant. The chef just said that the secret was in the smoked rice and refused to diverge anything else . Though it did taste like every ingredient was smoked.

Don't get me started on their biryiani and pilau (which have both been adopted by East Africans). They cook it better by far.

Then there's their tea and coffee. They just don't give you normal Kenyan tea . They'll put fresh mint, lime, cloves, honey and cardamom. And their coffees must have cardamom and/or ginger.

As for their desserts and pastries, I kinda have my reservations. They are usually too sweet and addictive. They love those sugar syrup and peanut or sesame candies. Or sometimes they mix that syrup with coconut flakes. I really wouldn't advise anyone who loves their heart to even attempt to go near them. Addictive, with ZERO nutritional value.

All in all, I've never taken anything bland in an Arab restaurant.

Thank you!

Niceeeee. I love ginger, garlic and spices in general. How does saffron taste or smell like? I have read so many benefits about this spice, fell in love, that I named my diary "Colour me saffron".

Oh wow. I like seeing their food on social media though. Always looking colourful and spicy. There's this kebap dish I'm looking forward to trying one day. I have added kabsa rice and chicken dish to my To-eat list, courtesy of you.

I like Arabian tea though. It is nice.

Hahaha what happened to Kenya tea? Gist me.😂

Oh No!! I don't like pastries/desserts that are TOO SWEET.

Thank you for sharing your Arabian restaurant experience.

GloriousGbola:
which one be 'refined masculinity' again?

Nor be redpiller.

Virgo01:
Hi Folake4u, application has already started and most persons have applied already, but my school hasn't because we are still waiting for the password. But I'm getting worried, application was to end on the 29th of April, though obviously, it has to be extended. Did you speak with your plug?

Hi Virgo.

Sorry for the late response.

I've spoken to my plug since last month pertaining this issue. We just need the "Go-ahead" of the officer at Law School to process posting and he has been silent since. I CANNOT do anything without his approval.

But I'm aware they haven't given admissions yet. Right?

Hi Konquest

I tried replying your mention but got banned in that section. I have no idea, so I'd just reply here.

That's mad cool.

I like your energy and thought process here Folake. Some folks say older and younger female lawyers can be a bit boring and uptight, but you've got a quirky persona and a likeable way of externalizing your thoughts and feelings.

Thank you. I do like my persona very much.

Oh, I didn't realize you're now in Lagos. I thought you were either back to Benin or still in Abuja. I assume you're done with your service now and have gotten a good law firm where you're practicing. By the way, what's your current field of legal specialization? Is it property law, family law, etc.

Hahahaha. I didn't realize you know my monicker. I thought I was a wáll flower on these NL streets. But to answer you, Yes I'm now In Lagos and done with service. Actually, I got a job offer here while still serving in Abuja and resumption was three days after my POP. I had to book flight ASAP.

However, I don't work in a law firm. More like multinational company and my practice areas include General Corporate Law Practice, Real Estate and Telecommunications.

"Delulu and solulu?"... Lol. OK, our resident GenZ lawyer, briefly school me on the meaning of that phrase "delulu and solulu" when you read this.

Hahahaha I don turn Gen Z lawyer. Issokay.
I assume you're Gen X or Millennial.

Okay it simply means "Delusion" and "solution". I was basically saying I wish I could travel internationally for my birthday but that is a bit of daydreaming right now. Hence living in delusion which is the solution to my wish.

Enjoy you day Fola.

Take care.
P.S. Hang on... Fola, I'm as "masculine" as a "He." I ain't a ma'am... Indeed, my moniker exudes "refined masculinity." OR does kon.quest sound feminine to you? Smirk

Hahaha. In all honesty and from the convos, I thought I was conversing with a female character. But yeah, your monicker exudes refined masculinity. I'm happy for you.

Farfalla:
I couldn't respond sooner. Pele.



I doubt that.
I think they just wanted this "native" feel to the name and 'Bantu' just seemed like a perfect fit. I mean, I don't know....



You're welcome.
And speaking of Zulu people, I had also heard about them way before meeting them. There was this song about Zulu warriors we'd sing as kids. I still remember it. My mum also sung the same song as a kid.



She had fans here and there but she never did it for me. I do like Sauti Sol though. Maybe it's because they don't sing these cliché Kenyan songs that usually sound like nursery school rhymes.



Interesting, because I read a lot of West African literature. Elechi Amadi, Chinua Achebe, Wole Soyinka, Ama Ata Aidoo, and Cyprian Ekwensi. We even did some of their books as literature set books. I also read Chimamanda's books but I still prefer the older novelists so far. Do you know that Soyinka's The Trials of Brother Jero has a Kiswahili version?


Aluta continua!!
**raises fist to join you in solidarity.



Sure they have beautiful names, but me, eh? It's their food I like.
As for their men, many women don't like them (for lots of good reasons), until you hear that he's the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi.

It is fine.

Hahaha that is quite possible though.

That is really cool. The Zulu Tribe is quite fascinating actually. I liked their warriors outfit though

Oh really? I had thought you'd vibe to her music. I'm surprised reading otherwise. Yeah Sauti Sol do good music. 😂😂😂😂😂See how you just finished your country's musicians.
Nursery school rhymes indeed.

Lol. Seems we swapped. I'm glad you read West African literature. The above names you mentioned, I have read their works. I love Chimamanda's books. She's GOOD. I get your point actually, those old novelists made one travel in time with their books.

Oh really? What is the Kenyan version of "The Trials of Brother Jero".

Tiri gbosa for joining the fists in solidarity.

How's their food like? Spicy? Sweet? Creamy? And what is your favourite Arabian food.

Yeahhhhhhhh. The way many women don't like them for lots of good reasons is the same way I don't like them. Except the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, of course.
