Wrong of you to call someone a liability. Do you even know her?


SolutionMee:
cheesy

What a liability??

I can't even be her friend not to talk of dating her.

How I wish all men can be like me, majority of fat ladies will be severely punished. We all have to let them know that life is not their comfort zone where their life challenges and problems will by default be the responsibility of others all in the name of wedlock.
Religion / Nearly But Never by gblaker(m): 4:07am On Jun 06, 2017
"I'm not good enough. I don't have the thing I need to have. I've come to the conclusion that I need to play for second or third place." Sergio Garcia. Masters 2017 winner.


I follow golf because it's my husband, Eddie's hobby. And over the years I've developed an interest in the game. As with every sport enthusiast, I have my favorite and also have people I feel sorry for. One of the people I always feel very sorry for is the gentleman by the name of Sergio Garcia. Sergio has been playing professionally alongside Tiger Woods and has been pitched to be a winner as far back as 1999. He was just a teenager like Tiger then but seemed to have a different destiny and a consistent story of 'nearly but never'. He tried really hard but never won any major. He played 73 majors and won none but then won his 74th.

When Sergio Garcia made the above comments at Augusta, five years ago after 13 seasons of not-quites and might-have-beens, the press said his statement confirmed what people feared anyway. The press also referred to him as the kid who began as El Nino, was destined to play out his career as El Nearly-Man. It was so sad that not only did they write a lot about his nearly but never, he read it, heard it, saw it and found himself believing in it so much that he saw himself that way. One thing that is common amongst most sports people is that they never talk themselves down, even if they know they can never win, it's like one of the hidden rules of being a professional sports person. They are coached to believe in themselves and they work hard to stay in that mindset - yet Sergio had failed to achieve his winnings so much that he broke the rule and saw himself as the bridesmaid but never the bride.

The worst part of it was not that the guy was bad, but that he always nearly, just never got it! Seventy-three appearances at majors and his result were 4 times a runner-up, 12 top fives, 22 top tens. It left people expecting him to have a meltdown at every major tournament. A few years ago, he wanted to quit because he couldn't see winning as an achievable dream; but he kept pressing forward and to his as well as the surprise of the whole world, he won at last!


Sergio's story and how he saw himself reminds me of a scripture that showed a similar statement when the Israelites were about to get into the promised land. They said;

"We even saw giants there, the descendants of Anak. Next to them we felt like grasshoppers, and that's what they thought, too!" Numbers 13:33.


It's amazing to note that we can see an obstacle and project our thoughts, assume other people's thoughts and believe so much in it to the point of reacting according to those thoughts; which might not necessarily be a true reflection of the issue or the final outcome. The children of Israel forgot the hidden power and support they had got in God and how that had been their joker card all along. Sometimes in life, achieving is never by power but by the help and support of God.


God has the ability to surprise you and deliver great results into your hands if you do not quit before He delivers the help you desire. Today we are celebrating Sergio who has broken his almost twenty years of limitation and failure to achieve his goal and potential .


So what's the message here? Believe in the God that is bigger than you who will help you and don't quit till you achieve your dream.


God is on your side!

Foreign Affairs / Experts Explain What 'locker - Room Talk' Is by gblaker(m): 4:19am On Oct 13, 2016
Source: http://www.tnlounge.com/4341/experts-explain-what-locker-room-talk-is

My father was a coach and the manager of a sporting goods store that installed and maintained equipment at athletic facilities. By the time I was in third grade, I had already spent countless days and nights in locker rooms — at colleges, high schools, prep schools, private adult clubs, you name it.

Then I became a football player and track athlete, something that continued into my college years. Until I was 20 years old, it felt as if half my life took place inside a locker room.

Not long after I stopped competing seriously, I became a sportswriter. What was my job day after day?

Hanging out in a locker room.

I’ve been paid to be there — and listen to what is said there — for the better part of 30 years.

Thanks to Donald Trump, the term “locker-room talk” suddenly is widely discussed. It is a pretty broad term; I’ve heard athletes in locker rooms deeply engrossed in conversations on their municipal bond portfolios and what to feed their cats and, of course, traffic.


Trump was recorded talking about forcibly kissing and groping women, and after an uproar, he chalked it up to “locker-room talk.”

The episode raised the question of how common such extreme talk is in locker rooms.

Yet I would say that while I have heard distasteful boasting and crude talk about the attributes of a recent date or a new girlfriend — wives never seem to come up — I’ve never heard anything that could be described as an assault, or any crime. Not even close.

This is not the same as saying those acts do not happen. I’m just saying it is not any kind of locker-room talk I have heard in my decades working and functioning in that space. Granted, the professional athletes have hours to themselves when the news media is not present. But reporters’ access to teams throughout a long season is considerable, especially in a sport like baseball where you’re part of the traveling circus crisscrossing North America for as long as nine months. You are together with the players far more than any other group of people in your life.

(To be clear, I am speaking only about covering male teams. Female athletes almost always speak outside their locker rooms, especially to male reporters.)

In general, it has been my experience that the talk about women in a men’s locker room is much rarer than most people want to believe, and much rarer than it was many years ago.

That does not mean the locker room is the most enlightened, progressive environment on the planet.

There have been many, repeated episodes in which players accosted, harassed and berated women reporters in men’s locker rooms because of their gender. Some have exposed themselves to female reporters in a way that appeared to go beyond undressing for the shower, though this kind of behavior was far more common when female reporters first began working in male locker rooms.

But if it is the talk in locker rooms that America is focusing on these days, it tends to be more generic and routine than frequently depicted. There is much more talk of aches and pains, and, as always, a lot of talk about cultural interests: music, concerts, films, video games and TV shows.

One of the funniest if most unlikely conversations I heard was about traffic. In the late 1990s, I remember listening to Giants cornerback Jason Sehorn and his friend Danny Kanell, a quarterback, in a conversation that bordered on something from Abbott and Costello.

“Why can’t you make a left turn on these New Jersey roads?” Sehorn asked.

“That’s only true on a divided highway,” Kanell answered

“You mean on a freeway?” the California-raised Sehorn said.

“Well, it is free unless it’s the turnpike,” Kanell said.

“There’s a turnpike, a highway and a freeway?”

“It doesn’t matter,” Kanell said. “And instead of taking a left turn, you use the jughandle.”

Sehorn: “What’s a jughandle?”

There is, especially these days, a certain amount of political chatter. It is usually playful, with a few jabs yelled across the room about a candidate.

But after Trump uttered his “locker-room talk” line over and over in the debate with Hillary Clinton on Sunday night, athletes everywhere — and anyone who frequents gyms — might have taken offense. Several professional athletes lashed out on Twitter.

“Have I been in every locker room?” Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Chris Conley wrote on his Twitter account. “No. But the guys I know and respect don’t talk like that. They talk about girls but not like that. Period.”

Oakland A’s pitcher Sean Doolittle said on Twitter, “As an athlete, I’ve been in locker rooms my entire adult life and uh, that’s not locker-room talk.”

But Atlanta Falcons tight end Jacob Tamme may have had the last word, and spoke for many.

Having just left the locker room after his team’s victory over the Broncos in Denver on Sunday night, Tamme wrote: “I showered after our game but I feel like I need another one after watching the debate.”

He added: “The attempt to normalize it as any type of ‘talk’ is wrong. I refuse to let my son think that this is ‘just how men speak.’”

Religion / Here Are The Most Difficult Things To Handle In Life by gblaker(m): 11:47pm On Sep 29, 2016
http://www.tnlounge.com/4138/here-are-the-most-difficult-things-to-handle-in-life
One of the most difficult things to handle in life is success and fame, and once more this week, there was an incident in the press that shows that we cannot be too careful about how we live our lives. England's latest football manager, a gentleman by the name of Sam Allardyce had a very rough experience we need to learn from this week.

This 61 year old football manager has given 46 years of his life to football. First as a football player for 21 years and the in management for about 25 years. He has genuinely had a very good career as a Premier league football manager and had many success stories. He constantly lead clubs into promotion and his last club was saved from relegation under his management. He is a good manager and in recognition of that, was appointed as the manager for the English national team in July 2016.


Mr Allardyce has on more than one occasion mentioned that this England job was his dream job and he was being paid £3M per annum to do this job he always loved and aspired to do. He had arrived at the place he always dreamt of! I can imagine his joy when he got the job and remember all the smiles from this gentleman in July. He planned to succeed at this dream job too but something quite unrelated to the performance of the team caused him to loose the £3M a year job this week. He was fired; but why? He had only had a chance to lead his team in one game and they won; surely he should not be fired for being tricked into an interview?


Well, unbeknown to Mr Allardyce, he met with an undercover reporter and negotiated a deal for £400,000 on the side to make himself available to avoid some football association rules. On this supposed social outing, he said a few careless words and these words clearly being filmed undercover showed him being willing to cut a deal which tarnished his image after being in a career path for 46 years! How can one careless interview and behavior, one set of words in a non threatening environment lead to the loss of £6m which is £3m per annum for an initial 2 years contract?! That was surely a very expensive social outing! The worse of it is his reputation and name which have now been tarnished over one careless conversation. What happened to Mr Allardyce reminds me of the scripture that says:-


'So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you do not fall.' 1 Corinthians 10:12


One can never be too careful in life, in fact, the more your blessings and the higher you go in life, the more you need to be careful as the devil is truly looking around, going to and fro, looking for who to devour and disgrace!


Sam Allardyce worked so hard, built his career and reputation, only for one careless action to lead to him becoming a front page ridicule in the whole country. His story can no longer be written without this event defining him; beyond the victories, successes and the years he has spent building himself and his name.


No matter what you do and where you are in life, always be careful with your words, your walk and your ways.

Religion / Words Can Bring Me Down by gblaker(m): 2:42pm On Sep 01, 2016
‘Every time you come into my shop, I sell more than I have ever sold and I cant wait to have you come in, as it changes the situation in my shop. You are a born sales success’, this was my auntie’s continuous statement to me, whenever I go on holidays and spend some little time with her in a different town from where I grew up. That would not have meant anything if I came from a home where my parents were into trading, but I come from a home of intellectuals and neither of my parents were involved with any form of selling. They had a career and were pursuing it. That was all I knew about development, i.e. read, get a job and do it faithfully till you retire.

This statement from my aunt became a springboard for many retail activities in my life. While on my very 1st job as a professional accountant, together with my fiancé (now husband), we saw various business opportunities that did not relate to our line of career, but went for it and did it anyway. I remember selling aprons to some banking executives and making very valuable profits. After our wedding, there was huge economic crisis in my country and we saw the opportunity of getting crates of eggs on wholesale, which we then sell at retail price. This business tidied us up so well throughout the tough times, we eventually got so much profit that we got a stall in an open market and bought a grinding machine…. (A big mechanical blender). After this, there had been many more opportunities we have asked God about, and gone for, as He led us.

What if my auntie never voiced her opinion when I was 12 years old? What if her opinion was different, supposing she said ‘you are hopeless at selling/ you cannot sell anything to anyone/ you bring losses every time you sell or come to my shop etc’ maybe I would have believed it and gone for it. I did not have the experience but I heard words, believed the words and it determined many more ventures in future. Words that are planted into us create different reactions and they are lasting ones. They either lift us up or pull us down. They never leave a man or woman neutral.

This reminded me of the covert operation Moses sent 12 leaders on while the children of Israel were on a mission to take over the land. 11 of them came back with negative report, and Caleb said differently, Numbers 13:30-33 showed that but the area I would like to address today is the reaction of the people to the words they heard.

Numbers 14 1-4

That night all the people of the community raised their voices and wept aloud. 2 All the Israelites grumbled against Moses and Aaron, and the whole assembly said to them, “If only we had died in Egypt! Or in this desert! 3 Why is the LORD bringing us to this land only to let us fall by the sword? Our wives and children will be taken as plunder. Wouldn’t it be better for us to go back to Egypt?” 4 And they said to each other, “We should choose a leader and go back to Egypt.”

Firstly, the words they heard made them so sad they cried all night, and then they grumbled against their leaders and then God. They wished they had died! And then they chose to change course and direction, forgetting all God had done in the past and they wanted TO GO BACK! The words they heard on one occasion determined the next 40 years of their lives.

Words do build or bring down. You might have heard some words this week that could build you up for life or make you struggle and even change course sometimes. It could be words targeting your faith, creating fear in you, or self-doubt, or low self esteem. It could be words talking about how great you are or how bad your decisions have been. Whatever the words you have heard this week is, God is still a good God and as we lean on Him and His words, He speaks to us, directs us and upholds us.

We also need to be careful the words we speak into other people’s lives today and everyday, as the words you speak could also equally determine how far someone will go in life.

Today, make a conscious decision never to bring down with words anymore, but to BUILD UP with your words!

God is on your side!

Education / Things You Should Know Before Applying To US Universities by gblaker(m): 4:21pm On Aug 31, 2016
The United States of America proves to be an unparalleled student destination with over 4,000 colleges and universities offering unmatched educational experiences along with diverse course options. If you are looking forward to getting admissions in top colleges and universities in the US, here is what you need to do.

Do: Start Early

Ideally, you should begin preparing for your applications in US universities by the time you are through with your 11th year of education. This gives you ample time to prepare your case against the million other applications you are likely to be competing against. Most American universities encourage you to opt for IB exams even though A Levels are not really discouraged. Besides this, you need to have your SAT scores ready by the time you begin with the application process. Plan your activities so your application stands a chance to outshine the competition.
Don’t: Standardize Templates

All American Universities do not follow a standardized template for applications. So try not to do so. You will be applying to each university individually. The best way to go about this is to search for each institute’s application template and then create a specialized one for each. You might be able to make use of the same information in most applications. However, make sure you keep in mind each destination’s codes before finalizing your application forms.

Do: Plan Your Educational Environment

The best part about top undergraduate universities in the US is the fact that each institute offers a unique experience when it comes to lifestyle, expenses, night life, landscapes, population and culture. Make sure you research about your destination university thoroughly. If you’d rather stay away from the city center buzz, there will be a perfect option waiting for you. Invest significant amount of time in planning your educational environment. Also, have at least 2 to 3 contingency plans in case you are unable to get into the preferred university.

Don’t: Miss Out On Campus Day!

This is one day you surely don’t want to miss. It will give you the precise idea about what to expect when you join the university as a student. You will be able to witness the campus life for real. It is usually held during the month of October. Get in touch with the admission office of your preferred university for more details.

Do: Plan Your Expenses

You need to make payments out of the pocket on numerous occasions. For instance, you will need to pay college admission fee at the time of application submission. Once you’ve secured your status, the next biggest thing you need to plan for is the visa. Then on you need to care for your tuition expenses, accommodation expenses, travel costs, costs for educational resources and several miscellaneous expenses you will be incurring on a regular basis. It is a good idea to have a plan beforehand about how you will be funding all these expenses. Apply for scholarships well in advance if you need to.

Don’t: Be a Nerd

Top Colleges and Universities in the US are looking out for humans that will make an interesting addition to the campus. Participate actively in extracurricular activities besides studies. You will need something interesting to connect with your application viewer!

Religion / Stop Hiding! by gblaker(m): 2:11am On Jul 31, 2016
I read a story from one of the monthly missionary magazines I subscribe to and thought to share the story with you.

The missionary said he once visited Bangladesh where he was introduced to a small group of Muslim elders in a village. According to him, he fitted well into the group until one of the elders walked up to him and stood very close – nose to nose. The elder then put his hands on the missionary’s shoulder and the missionary was asked by the guide to do the exact same to the elder. The elder was now staring deep into the eyes of the missionary and the missionary said he felt so uncomfortable. After the nose to nose and shoulder holding, the next thing expected was to stare into each other’s eyes and kiss each other on the cheek. This action had to be done twice for the villagers to consider this a genuine and heartfelt greeting. The missionary mentioned the fact that the situation was so awkward for him because of his discomfort with that level of intimacy. This mainly being because in the British culture, people have been conditioned to accept a certain level of intimacy with people we just meet. When that ‘acceptable’ level of intimacy was breached; the missionary became uncomfortable.

The missionary’s story reminded me of a practice our mentor once told us about. According to him, when he was in a Northern African country- for him to get accepted by the natives, he had to go visit with them and dine with them. In that culture, dinner is served in a bowl and the host feeds his guests by hand. You accepting the host feeding you their local meal means that you have fully accepted the people and their culture. Then, they in turn are now open to hear your message about Jesus and welcome you into their lives. Our mentor said, he went along with this practice because winning the people over was more important to him than the acceptance of this unusual level of intimacy. I asked myself if I would have been able to do the same if in the shoes of our mentors but I could not genuinely say a YES.

From the two stories above, it is obvious that many of us have expected levels of intimacy and we feel offended or uncomfortable when we think someone has invaded our privacy or our space. We draw a circle around ourselves sometimes and say to people and sometimes even to God, don’t move any closer. We allow people come as close as we feel comfortable. For various reasons, we hide and only allow people see so much or come so close. It is rather interesting to note that some people do not want to come too close to God because they think that if they grow closer to God, He will discover something He doesn’t like about them. What we tend to forget is that; God already knows everything about us, including our faults and He loves us just like that.

The psalmist puts it beautifully here
‘You have searched me, LORD, and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH ALL MY WAYS. Before a word is on my tongue, You LORD, know it completely.’ Psalm 139:1-4

God already knows us completely and there is really no point in hiding from Him. We may feel inadequate to show our weaknesses to man because we think they will judge us, but we can afford to show every aspect of ourselves to God. We can afford to develop an intimate relationship with Him because He is very familiar with ALL of our ways.

Do not be afraid to let God into any and all areas of your life because when He comes closer, His light will shine on every dark area and He will help you bring about change in all the areas that needs His touch.

Lastly, I’ve also come to realize that God plants us as Christians in a local church so we can be nurtured, built, protected and supported. To get the full benefit of such a provision however, we will need to allow the people God has placed around us to move closer so that they can bless us as God has always planned. We need to stop hiding.

The message therefore today is; Stop hiding and allow God to do His complete work in you.

Religion / You Need Intel by gblaker(m): 12:42pm On Jun 17, 2016
http://www.tnlounge.com/inspiration

To navigate unknown territories correctly, we need special intelligence- information that is not obvious to our senses. Many of us make life decisions but do not have enough information to know that the decision we are making is the right one at that moment; because we do not have foresight, hindsight and insight. This is never a big deal with small issues of life but it becomes a major issue with life changing decisions. I have also discovered that there are two different types of INTEL. Let me illustrate my point:-
I shared with a lady earlier today my understanding of something PE said, which was – ‘In life, to be successful; we all need INTEL – an inside informant that will help us make the right decisions.’ Years ago, I was going to make a decision on a life partner and the gentleman that came to indicate his interest in me was a nice man and seemed to tick many boxes; however when I went to pray about our possible association, the Holy Spirit – my INTEL, saved me from making a negative decision. He told me NO and I decided to obey Him- this led to my peace. A few years down the line I met my husband and again; the same INTEL told me he was the one for me at the appropriate time. I am forever grateful to my INTEL for inside information.

The second type of INTEL we need in life is someone that knows about the place and the secrets of a place and situation who can give us a tip or two on how to navigate an area of life either because they have gone through that route or because they are more experienced. We call them mentors. Naomi was an INTEL for Ruth and she helped navigate Ruth through a new and difficult phase of life to come into a place of greater joy and blessings. We all need a mentor that will show us the blueprints of life and take us through the routes because they are familiar with such and we are not. When we first got into the United Kingdom, we were blessed to have met our pastor who shaped our mind-set and a couple in our local church who talked us through how to avoid the financial landmines of the land that always sets people back. We followed their instruction and truly avoided these landmines. Today, the rest is history because we had INTEL!

Even God put so much emphasis on these INTELs. Moses needed Hobab to go with them through the wilderness because he had the experience and that came handy. The bible showed the need for mentors as they helped people become the best they could be. Paul was a good mentor to Timothy. Elijah to Elisha. All in all – we need the INTEL provided firstly by the Holy Spirit and great mentors as it helps us make the right decision and walk the right path. Gods’ word says:-
The LORD says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you.” – Psalm 32:8
As we start winding down on this year and planning as well as moving towards the new year; we need to be well aware of the fact that there is the ‘best pathway’, ‘best person’, ‘best project’, ‘best decision’. God who is the ultimate INTEL and inside informant can give us the best information and direction, please trust Him and lean on Him to. I promise you one thing…you will not regret it!

I humbly submit that the Constitutional Rights to Liberty, Freedom of Movement and Association as enshrined in the Constitution of this great nation are Human Rights created for the enjoyment of Persons and Citizens of Nigeria alone. There is therefore no Constitutional penumbra that transfers such freedoms to goats, sheep and cattle at the detriment of mankind. Bottom line, Fulanis are free to enjoy Human Rights as citizens of Nigeria, but no cattle is so entitled, as cattle are not citizens of Nigeria. They only qualify as property, to which the Law of Torts with respect to cattle trespass fully applies. So Fayose is in order.

Imagine our president slapping all of us by sneaking 940 million into the budget for grazing reserves. Imagine how many youths with lands begging government for seedlings and tractor to farm. No response.

There is no tribe in Nigeria that doesn't rear one thing or the other. Sane people manage animals not animals managing people.

All processed milk we drink in Nigeria is from Europe. In all my travelled life. I have never seen one cow roaming in the bush.

Why is Buhari and his kinsmen using analogue brain in a digital age.

The Yoruba who are northern greatest ally are gradually seeing the self serving nature of the hausa/Fulani.

Fayose is the man of the moment, whether you like him or not. He is exuding immense boldness. What he did today has been murmured amongst many state governors but none had the nerve to voice out.

Abeg make una give Fayose some likes if you think the guy has guts.



A brilliant perspective to this discuss

Religion / When God Steps In! by gblaker(m): 4:05am On May 20, 2016
This week I read the inspirational story of a Christian rhythm and blues singer called Fontella Bass, her story taught me once more how God comes to our aid just in time and in ways we never can imagine.


After 25 years of releasing songs that hit the charts both in America and Europe, even getting to number one on occasion, this lady's dreams seemed to be crushed when things just slipped and she felt forgotten. Within a short period of time, she had no career to speak of, she was broke, worn out and freezing. At some point, things were so bad that the only heat in her small home came from a gas stove in the kitchen. As at this time, she had also left the church where she started singing gospel songs as a little girl. She was all alone in a tough situation with no support.


One day at her lowest point, Fontella decided to pray and not long after she prayed, she heard her hit song 'RESCUE ME' on television in a commercial. She said it was as if God stepped right into her world at that moment. She had no idea that American Express had been using her song as part of a commercial and officials had not been able to locate her to pay her royalties. God stepped in in such a way that apart from receiving back royalties, new opportunities began to open up for her to start singing again.


She thought all was lost and was living in abject poverty but when she cried out to The Lord He stepped in and showed her the provision He had already made for her. I have come to realize that every time we cry out to The Lord, what He tends to do is show us what He had prepared for us from the very beginning, the provision that was waiting around the corner for our discovery. Just like with Abraham; when he obeyed and took Isaac to Mount Moriah, as he looked up to God, God showed him the provision He had made ahead of time. So it happened to Moses, as he cried out to God to part the sea, God turned his attention to the staff he always had in his hands and gave him the direction of what to do with it. Every time we cry out to The Lord, He steps in just as the word of God says;


'Then they cried out to The Lord in their trouble, and He delivered them from their distress.' Psalm 107:6


It is great to know that God specializes in responding to our cry when we are in trouble and as we cry to Him, He delivers us from our distresses and provides a solution by stepping into our situation.


Whatever challenging situation you have found yourself in at this time, I would like to encourage you to cry out to The Lord so He can step in and show you the prepared way out. God is the all knowing God and is quite aware of what your distresses are and He is the safest and best way out of that situation, so you can afford to call upon Him and rest in Him. But as my pastor says, 'God is a gentleman, Hewill never force Himself or His will upon any of us.' He will wait for us to call upon Him and hand over the reins of the affairs of our lives to Him then He will step in. So turn it all over to Jesus and trust Him to help you out.


God is on your side!

I agree with MrBrownJ, having kids is not a diseases. Sometimes the maturity and experience is valuable.

I don't know if I am overreacting or just being myself, I have a very big turn off for guys that constantly use pidgin English during conversations. (My English is not perfect but am trying cheesy )
Let me take for example, there is this particular nice guy that is asking me out, he claims he is a graduate of a polytechnic but he always speaks to me in pidgin English and its a huge turn off for me, I have been tempted several times to ask him why he doesn't speak pure English but I can't, to avoid embarrassing him. do you think I am overreacting?

1) If the ability for a guy to be able to speak good 'English' is one of the pre-requisites needed in dating you, i for one will not crucify you. In this day and age, a guy should be able to communicate at least in simple 'English'. You don't to be Wole Soyinka though. Hey, FYI, i detest Patrick Obahiagbon's use of the queen's language. Speaking big grammar is disgusting. If your

2) Caveat: Do not ditch a guy due of his inability to speak or write good English. You can tutor him if you really love him.

pinkiberry:
Its very hard to see a faithful guy these days and it's becoming quite annoying and its unfair.
I have seen many relationships crashed as a result of cheating from the guys, even the married ones cheat more. its very bad guys. We Nigerian girls need faithful guys not a guy with 100 side chicks and still counting.

There are still faithful guys out there same as faithful ladies. Where have you been looking? You attract what you are
