FamilyRe: Adjusting To Life As A Widower by Freesia(f): 11:53pm On Sep 30, 2011
I don't even have the right words to express myself after reading eleven pages in one seating!!  Mr.Serubawon this journey started about 7 years ago thank you so much for sharing this private journal with us,it is so inspiring,moving and a lot more,You have been a blessing to many on this one.
In God's time everything will fall into place.
I have to say the beauty of NL is just "rubbing" shoulders with some of the most intelligent minds you could ever come across.This thread has just brought out more admiration for many and I pray to be as wise as some of you.
The way you have addressed or responded to some issues on this thread makes one look at life from very different angles.God Bless

LiteratureRe: Why Do Most Nigerians Fail To Pronounce These Words Correctly? by Freesia(f): 10:28pm On Sep 28, 2011
I didn't think the accent and the pronunciation was very much connected until I heard (Scoucer's) or Liverpudlians and (Geordie's) people from Newcastle talking.Both towns are in the North of England,You may not think they are speaking English until you listen attentively,so yes one has to do with the other and of course exposure plays a big role with pronunciation of words
LiteratureRe: Why Do Most Nigerians Fail To Pronounce These Words Correctly? by Freesia(f): 12:02pm On Sep 28, 2011
lwkmd !! I've met people working in senior positions overseas who won't pronounce the words properly,They can but they choose not to. If I understand what the person means,I just listen.
We (Africans) are an intelligent species,An average African speaks at least 2 native languages plus English.I believe with 3 languages we're good to go.
until then, this still remains as follows  smiley

Finance pronounced as "Feenance"
Battery as "Batheery"
Tummy is "Tommy"
Tongue is "Tong"
Average is "Avaredge"

RomanceRe: What Is Behind Late Marriages For Ladies ? by Freesia(f): 10:46pm On Sep 23, 2011
People need to stop thinking their lives will be more fulfilled when they get married,If you are not happy on your own,then even when you tie the knot you will not be happy.
We all know at least one or two people who had no business getting married,but they did it for the wrong reasons.I like to say Marriage is an eternity affair so choose well because you will be spending the next 50 plus years together,so you want to make sure you do it right the first time.
RomanceRe: My friend and my feelings.... by Freesia(f): 8:11pm On Sep 23, 2011
He could be shy too ask you but again who knows why he's holding back?? When he's ready he'll ask you out maybe he wants to tidy a few things and he's looking for the right opportunity,if he doesn't say it with his mouth,his actions will let you know he's into you too.I just hoped men could be more vocal sometimes smiley things would be so much easier
RomanceRe: Blackberry Fever And How It Affects Relationship? by Freesia(f): 5:18pm On Sep 23, 2011

Hope Nairaland's sex freaks are reading this.
There's more to a relationship than yan-sh-ing [Apologies 4 been so raw]
lol you're not been raw,you're just saying it like it is, but on a more serious note if you are going to share your body with someone else and also Invest a lot of your time,energy,and finances with this person they better be your friend really.It just makes it easier to forgive or overlook their shortcomings or flaws.
RomanceRe: What No-one Ever Tells Us Is That Relationships Are Hard Work by Freesia(f): 1:14pm On Sep 23, 2011
I have also noted the foundation of a good r/ship is friendship.When you get to your old age,with fragile bones,and missing teeth the last thing on your mind is jumping the sheets,your bond is your friendship.

Meet Herbert and Zelmyra Fisher of North Carolina. They have been married 85 years (86 in May)  marriage of a living couple and get this…. Zelmyra is 101 years old and Herbert is 104.

Due to their friendship they must have made a whole lot of sacrifices along the way to be where they are now.

I'm just trying to think of a good "English speaking Nollywood" director. It looks like some Actors/Actresses talents are seriously going to waste at the rate they are producing movies today
