PH really is vulnerable cos of d existing tension. However, while it may be relatively peaceful, some areas of it are just nt safe to be during d election.

Btw, if u are nt an indigene & u can make your way out b4 then, better still. Remember it's a city of just 2-way exit: Oyigbo/Aba route & Ahoada/Bayelsa route. Once d two are 'blocked', u are 'trapped'.

Nope you are wetting, there is bori/akwa ibom route. Took that road from waterlines to eket last year, very awesome road.

Ilorin, offa all in Kwara state. They have no record of ethnic clashes.

I an sorry you are talking of delegating chores in a house you live?

If not Some mothers failed in their responsibility, shouldn't a husband know that when he wakes up, he does something in the house If necessary

If a husband loves his wife as he claims, wouldn't he do something when he sees that the woman's hands are full?

Must it even get to a stage of asking?

Ladies shinning their eyes during courtship cannot be overemphasized.

It is not the time to register in all the hotels and fast food joints. It is also not the time to jump from the kitchen to the bedroom while he looks on.

A man might not understand that you spending the weekend. Over to do chores once a month is 100% different from same routine everyday

I think i totally misunderstood my post.

Renaj:


Thank you dear. He told me that he was badly hurt by an ex girlfriend whom he intended marrying. Though he was the person to break off the relationship, he gave up on any emotional involvement with women till l came along(according to him). That is why he is still single at 35. He looks good at 35.(lol). He insisted on seeing my family because he wanted to prove that he is real and not playing games with me. He took me to his mother because she was enthusiastic about her sons relationship status. His mother who had given up on his son because of his hurtful past in relationship welcomed me warmly. She calls me daily too.
Now, l am officially scared.

Why don't i feel comfortable about this? Cos the way u type about him is kind of protective to his personality. And a last sounds like this when she just falls in love with butterflies in her tummy. It's like saying "please don't condemn him, agree with me that he is mine and i should go on". Well madam please give this thing more time, relationship is real work and not a fairy tale.

Lastly what sort of man is quick to go see a lady's family instead of getting to know urself? The more u try to prove ur nice the more careful and cautious i get with you in case u a trojan horse.

Just be careful, something is just not right, i think the speed of progression.

A new anti-theft feature will make stolen phones less valuable

Google’s latest update to its Android operating system makes your smartphone less desirable—to thieves, that is.

Android 5.1 was rolled out on Monday with a new anti-theft technology called Device Protection, according to Google’s Official Android Blog. The system will keep your stolen or lost phone locked until you sign in with your Google account, even if someone restores your phone to factory settings.

Device Protection will be available on smartphones shipped with Android 5.1, and also the Nexus 6 and Nexus 9.

Other features on Android 5.1 include support for multiple SIM cards and HD voice calling between compatible devices.

That's weird, this thing has been in existence since, i bought my Samsung galaxy pocket in march 2012 and it had this feature which i used immediately i bought it, I lost my phone at agip, eagle island, port Harcourt and a week later someone who tried reaching me saw me in church and said the person who picked my phone told him to tell me to come get my phone. Summary is that i got home and my phone was asking me to log in to my email then i realised the dude surrendered the phone out of frustration, when i logged in and unlocked my phone i noticed the nucca had done a factory reset, everything in my phone lost, na only the gmail part remain to unlock which proved to me that it was never his intention to return the phone.

So which one goggle dey talk now? This feature has been in existence and that has protected my Android phones all this while since i lost me phone in a cab and got it back lol.

Here you have it, the hyper-realistic portrait drawing
of Oscar Chuks.
Medium: Ball point pen(BIC) on white embossed
paper
Time: approx. 80hours
Artist: Oscar Chuks (same artist of the Wole Soyinka,
Nelson Mandela, Tonto Dike, Banky W and other portrait drawings).

To view more portrait drawings, visit
www.facebook.com/oscarchuks.arts

Well if he says it's a pen he necessarily isn't lying, coming from a background and family with lots of artists including myself which i really didn't go into professionally i grew up surrounded by them seeing projects from start to finish. My late Uncle did similar near prefect drawings with pen, pencil (HB of course), crayon and so on, oh and charcoal too, that man was a beast, but one thing i noticed was the technique which could possibly be what Oscar used. They blow up the original image to the size they want, tape it on a special glass drawing table that usually has florescent in it. That way the cardboard is placed on the enlarged copy and painstakingly drawn by hand, the hardest part is the shading so don't think is that easy, some projects lasts for weeks.

Another method is graphing where they graph the original picture with thread and needle or directly with pencil, blow up the scale on the drawing paper. Then painstakingly repeat every shape on the graphed pic into the larger one. It's complicated, i still remember graphing a close up ad sometime in 1996. Oscar am sure u know these techniques i have listed so tell us oh which of them did u use? It still doesn't change the fact that you actually used a pen and did a wonderful job, just interested in knowing which of the methods u used. By the do artists still graph or is it outdated?

This one na Microsoft slap aka Ctrl+alt+Delete. Control +Z slap on the secretary's two eyes is the antidote.

On a more serious note that secretary would face the full wrath of the law.

Its a sin because God say thou shall not kill what ye can't create or give breath to. Shikenah#

And you kill mosquitoes, flies, bugs and other living things you see as threats yet you can't create them, so contradicting. Abeg i don taya for religion.

I always ask these questions, what if Nigerians colonised England or Europe? What if the if it was the igbos, Yorubas and other tribes that explored and colonised other parts of the world? The white man would be worshipping in shrines by now. These things are not ours they are alien, why do we have Christians predominantly in the south and muslins predominantly in the north? It's simple, the white missionary came through the south evangelizing from south northwards and the Arabs came from the desert converting people via jihads from north southwards and the intersection between these two aliens happens in the middle belt hence the predominant mix of Christian and muslins in the middle belt. God exists, God is universal, God created all things but when we talk of sin it is relative to what is acceptable and unacceptable in your surrounding. So finally is euthanasia a sin? Well here is my question, is it acceptable where it's being practised? Religion should be a to making us better people and not the cancer it is now to mother earth. No disrespect intended tho.

Bizbee:

I had a talk with him today, but it yielded nothing positive. He kept telling me its my job to bathe and take care of the kids, that i should go and ask my mum. Funny enough, he can cook, and do chores well without stress if he wants to do them, but he is just being lazy or maybe proving a point to me. he said i cant be assigning chores to him, when i only begged him to start bathing our first son and then we do chores together. Hmm mm, it is well o

Ahhhh, i think know the problem. Na you find trouble, you begged him to START BATHING ur first son, START BATHING, you are now indirectly sharing chores. Honestly from a man's perspective you were delegating assignment. You should have done something like this, "honey please i need your help, with any of the chores if u don't mind". Don't expect him to accept immediately, personally my reply will either be no I can't right now or go ahead I will join you. A caring husband will respond shortly after u tell him and choose any of the chores to help u out with but once u get specific like "start doing this, that" most men will take it personal like "this woman wan order me". Just say you need help with any of the chores to speed up things. To me it ain't a big deal, communication and ur tone matters a lot.

babyosisi:
I feel so lazy

Haba, maka why nneoma?

Herzumpther:
FOREXMARTS I will. I had a very busy week that's why I didn't upload anything here but don't worry I will.

Today wey I say make I rest, I remember say my friend dey wed. Didn't even stay till the end of the reception, just gave her my gift and and I just dey enter house now. Don't worry eh I will.

That moment when she reassures you and u want to be a good boy so you just wait lol.
Awwwwww dear Kpelle, rest don't stress urself, in fact am full ahhhh, no over work urself oh lol.

damiso:
Everyone needs ME time..damiso can't emphasise it enough. For your sanity and also to be a better mother and wife..whether its that soak in the bath, trip to the saloon to do your nails, supermarket, coffee with a friend or even just curled up on the sofa watching Scandal

Our men reading abeg please take these lil ones off us from time to time having children under 5 around you ALL THE TIME (with no break) is enough to make one a stressed out wreck...I love my kids to bits but really I can not quantify how i love when hubby takes them off me and I have time alone with my own thoughts and not saying 'stop it' 'stop climbing' ' leave her alone' or even hearing 'mummy'100 times in 2 hrs. As I type they are out (its mother's day in the UK tomorrow they are trying to code that they are at the park but I know they have gone to buy card and gift ) and I just love the quiet calm after a hectic week at work. My normal self would have been cleaning all the house corners but I have just decided to maximise this time alone so I am lying down on the bed watching tv and browsing NL.Na pesin born me too as I always say

Babyosisi's post was spot on.

Tiff lol, now wey u don code say dem dey go arrange ur package for mother's day it will longer be a surprise, but now you have to fake the surprise so u don't disappoint ur kids and hubby. Now i dey pity them lol. There is God oh. Hahahahaha

moca:


Oh no, that was marriage 201. Those who have graduated from101 class knows what I'm saying.
When u must have done ur home work well, u can now progress.
Like now,hubby hasn't been home for a while and just got into the city,called that he is going for one family emergency.
I wasn't happy cos we all should go and told him so. He flared up.
And he was inside public transport. I had to cut d phone.
Obviously,he is so stressed up and hearing that news didn't lessen it.
I also worsened the whole ish.
What do I do even if what he did wasn't right?
Will tell him sorry and placate him once he open d door.Then praise him.
That way he will even start apologizing without u saying anything.
These r things I mean by applying wisdom.

Ehen now you come so all ye fine young ladies here, una don hear say na 201 so be guided.

About the incident you just narrated now I like ur approach at correcting it. More wisdom to u my sister.

moca:

No be men!
Forget all the gragra
Study them and u will find out that it all ends in gragra. That is what we all fear.
If u can see beyond gragra,abeg go pour urself a chilled drink.
He must mellow down.

He will soon come for kpekus after the gragra.
Men!

Women should study cleopatra and laws of power.
Unless that man don't find u attractive.

Lol i don dey suspect u oh. I get ur point but that the "gra gra" part is a bit misleading oh. You don't want one young girl reading this to think that everything a husband says he will or he won't do is just gra gra or he is bluffing cos if she carry that mentality marry man wey rigid and means most of what he says she go wound oh, lastly it is very misleading for a woman to think that kpekus is the ultimate formula to having her way with her husband,...........if she jam he won't need to cheat but she go wound oh lol.

Summary of what I am saying is that it takes a mature mind to understand your last post but the misleading to the rookies so always leave a caveat like Babyosisi does in some of her posts. Godbless all you wonderful ladies taking care of naughty boys, you are strong lol.

I unconsciously spend a large percentage of time praying to have a wonderful family where I can do all these things men run from with my wife and kids together and what i read here are stories about husbands who feel too big to do these little things that bonds fathers and children, tomorrow the same men will be jealous that the kids prefer mummy to daddy.

Let me ask these questions. Is it a crime for the family to have at least 1 meal a day together? Is it bad for a man to at least cook once every week for the family? Is it a crime to at least have a chat time where everyone is home all distracting electronics turned off while everyone takes turns to review his or her week, get suggestions, supports, advises make requests, make deals? These little things that don't seem to matter to a man bonds families, Your kids should look forward to coming home rather than look forward to going out, it all starts with three values we inculcate in them and the best way to teach em that is by how they grow up seeing u treat their mum. I believe most men are the reason why marriages are boring. The women have their own sides too, i used to think it is the poverty situation that causes this issues because the man is busy trying to make ends meet but now i no longer see it that way because even well to do couples complain of the same thing.

My honest advice to the ladies not yet married is to plan out these things during courtship, indirectly find out his perspective and opinion on a husband helping out with house chores. Don't ask him to promise you he would cos u will get that fake promise. You must be an expert at extracting such informations. Find out his roles in his parents house(will explain this part in my next post).

Smothered Catfish

Shey na me get am abi? Cos u can't just tempt me like this this weekend. Herzie has refused to deliver my ofe nsala and cat fish peppersoup as promised so make i chop this one lol.

softysparky:

Lol..I might cope with your type.

Lol, might? Cope? I don't want u to cope. I want u to enjoy jare.

softysparky:
No, I don't like men that can cook very well. Most of them can ask questions and complain about almost every cooking.....too much salt, pepper, water,strong meat,soft meat.

Imagine trying to surprise him with a special dish and he enters kitchen to fix another thing for himself.

Are you referring to me? Well ask me how i like my meat, spice, and so on. After a couple of times you won't need to ask anymore then u can still surprise me. Else i go enter kitchen and when am done i know i will catch you eating the food in the kitchen later licking ur fingers. (smiles).

Na so so ham dem dey chop for America, Fried ham, roasted ham, salted ham, boiled ham, hamburger, ham and cheese, west ham, fulham, Nottingham, Tottenham Birmingham. Na Southampton remain to chop ni.

To the guy above me, screw you. Goodluck Jonathan.

Herzumpther:


I promise to cook it specially and post it for you before the week runs out.

Good morning.

Ahaaaah now you come nnem, will be on the look out. Morning dear.

Herrrrrrrrzieeeeeee ohhhhhhhhhhhh. Wey my ofe nsala nau? Lol

cococandy:
Sounds like something that would be very tasty. Mmm

Yeppp, if you are an expert in making pepper soup then you well be just fine, it's wonderful with sea food, stock fish (the very soft type), dried cat fish and minced meat.

veave:


both. Although if you put too much onion, it tends to turn your moimoi black.

Hmmm that's the regular but since am not a fan of onion and anything from it's family so far my best recipe is a combination of dried fish deboned and minced roasted meat.

Another addition if you live in the south south is to do a very spicy broth like u gonna make peppersoup with seafoods, dried fish and minced meat and that means your grinded beans must be very thick so that when u pour the broth in you won't have a watery moimoi. leave the broth to cool when it's ready mix it with your grounded beans and proceed to making the moimoi.No go dey drink the broth say u don make peppersoup oh lol i know some ladies who will finish the meat in the pot before the food is ready, cheers.

cococandy:


You no dey see my african dishes?
