Mrs.Chima:
It is not really a big deal...it just something that people like or enjoy saying to their partner. Before I married my husband...I would call him my hubby or king and people actually thought we were married. My husband never referred me as his girlfriend or friend...I was always his wuyeh or wife. Imagine me introducing him to my family and his family saying this is my wife.....both families were confused and upset!

They were like why we didn't get invited to the wedding! grin grin grin
Oh Mrs Chima, i loved the way you explained it but isnt there a word for girlfriend in yoruba culture? And the way you spelt nwunye shows you are not igbo although my igbo is terrible but thanks for marrying my igbo Bros. Imela, Dalu. smiley
RomanceWho Is Really A Wife! by Gracious10(op): 3:24pm On Sep 27, 2012
Quick question.

In yoruba culture, who is really a 'wife'?

Is it the -wife
-Fiancee
- Girlfriend
- Mistress

I ask cos I see guys call their female partners "iyawo mi" and the ladies call them "Oko mi" . Does dating automatically turn u into a wife or husband in yoruba culture? Is it culturally accepted or is their no word for girlfriend in yoruba language. I love the way they address themselves but it will be nice to understand these things.

fluid26: No offence please, is there anything particularly spectacular or extraordinary about you? huh
As you know, no human being can be the same. People are different, so is their interest. People who are attracted to me must have found something spectacular, that question should be addressed to them not me. And for you to comment on this thread, same goes for you.

sanb: Girl...no need to chop my head off...I gave you an answer!!! To note, there is nothing wrong in being honest and in refusing to date when you know you won't love him and it ain't no crime. But as I said before be firm...enjoy!!!

sanb: @Op...Interesting!!! When we women don't see suitors we complain; when we see suitors we complain again just shows that we can never be satisfied...my advice to you would be let your yes mean yes and your no mean no. Be firm and let the guys know that you’re not giving them your number and someone has suggested here to give them your e-mail address instead. Be sure not to drive all your suitors away and as you know age is not on our side.... (Smile)
Pls, did u read my post at all? I said I just got off a r/ship and wouldn't want to date, question was how to avoid these men without being rude! Some ladies will dabble into another r/ship cos of what they will gain from the man under the guise if I love u when they really mean harm. Is there anything wrong in being honest, is there anything wrong in refusing to date when u know you won't love'em? I choose to be honest in saying No and yet respect other people. It's no crime.

Thanks for ur input.

RomanceRe: She's Asthmatic... Advice Pls by Gracious10: 2:24am On Sep 27, 2012
donigspain: ASTHMA?
I got a cure (remedy)... YES, I know orthodox medicine asserts it's a life-long manageable ailment but am 100% percent SURE of this herbal mixture. I was skeptical, at first, towards believing (am a science guy myself) but not until I saw it's efficacy.
I know of two persons with chronic asthma having recurring attacks but since they took the 'medicine' for a period of two months (early last year) they have not had a single attack. Please, am not saying this so that you will BUY it from me. I DON'T SELL IT. It's just an old trado-medical recipe which the 'doctor' holds tenaciously classified. Am ready to PAY for anyone interested (just one person o) so that through his/her testimony Nigerian Govt. and the Medical Association might look more into this 'medicine'.
I totally agree with u, my younger brother took this herbal remedy and this is 1yr and 8 months and there never been an episode of asthma attack or symptoms. It really works.

sexkillz: [color=#000030]When i notice i have symptoms of malaria, can't i say malaria is around the corner? undecided

Now she noticed her asthma is around the corner, and you say it is technically a lie. This is what you copied and pasted "some of these symptoms go only to come back at interrupted periods called asthma attacks."

1000 likes!

So, a girl's asthma symptoms came and went and while it is yet to come back as asthma attacks, she writes her boyfriend to tell him that her asthma is around the corner, and you called it a technical lie? Even after reading what you pasted?

You must be technically dumb!

That is my opinion.

RomanceWays To Avoid Men? by Gracious10(op): 12:29am On Sep 27, 2012
Often times men approach me, I try to be respectful,friendly and accommodating. They usually leave their phone numbers to contact them which I never call them. Sometimes they insist to have my number which I give them with hesitation and next thing I see are tons of calls a day which I ignore. Not that am being a snub, I really don't know what they want and refusing to give my number may be seen as being too forward (insinuating that they want r/ship with me) or mean depending on who's involved.

So my question is How's the best way to ignore/avoid men without being disrespectful and rude? I just got out of a r/ship and won't want to date anymore.

Thanks.
IslamRe: Questions On The “innocence Of Muslims”. by Gracious10: 2:55pm On Sep 22, 2012
Why are Muslims always angry and bitter?! I have been going thru these comments and even the Maclauntji (sorry if I got ur name wrong) is so bitter and angrrrryyyyy. Even as a MOD, he takes everything so personal. This is a forum where people express themselves so let them. If you are going to start a thread, people will have different views about it. Una blood too dey hot. If you get angry every minute of ur life for what people say or do then u r in for serious health issues. if you expect everyone to agree with what you say, then you are not also not wise. Wisdom is the principal thing. In all you do, get wisdom.

Really, why do people keep such long-term r/ships without marriage? 5yrs of just being a girlfriend? People get tired of status that doesn't change, they will start finding faults after all they are not maritally committed to you. All these long wait brings in too much katakata that wasn't there initial. And yes people fall out of love when things aren't as they use to be.
RomanceRe: 11 Facts Women Should Accept About Men by Gracious10: 7:40pm On Sep 19, 2012
MRbrownJAY: of course i am MAD, any man with sense would be!!!!!!! I AM DAMN PISSED that "supposedly" educated people talk the way you do.there can be no joyful communication with me, NONE!
MBJ's solution is very simple: women should LEAVE and take care of their own self, and look at themselves in the morning with RESPECT and SELF ESTEEM. they may be looked down upon by society, but nobody will ever treat them like garbage.

on the other hand, YOUR solution is to let men treat their women like garbage, disrespect women that have no reason to be disrespected, women who care and work hard for their families. i dont want to live or even dream of such society where selfish and weak men make women believe that this is the way to go in life. I have daughters (and sons) and if any of them ever settle with a man like you, i will send 50€ crack addict to chop off your dick....i swear....then with no dikc you will go right back to loving your wife as she is surely the only one who will want your sorry behind, lol!

if you really believe that cheating is wrong then EDUCATE these men instead of focussing on women, educate these stoopid women who cheat with these married men, and educate yourself that the problem is not going to stop so long as there are deluded women who allow to be treated like aasss wipe. the day they start saying NO, then thats the day some men would give them the respect they deserve.

women MUST leave their cheating husband because if they dont, then THEIR children will follow the trend and believe that cheating is ok.....thats the only way to STOP this PLAGUE THAT IS MAKING WOMEN DIE OR CATCH SILLY DISEASES due to their husbands carelessness.

as for me insulting you, pls show me where i called you a bastard? a quack counsellor yes, but thats what you are isnt it? i mean there is no institution that will educate you to teach the garbage you advise these women.



man thats because that said woman has absolutely nothing BUT that marriage, where is she gonna go? how is she gonna take care of herself? these women are in BONDAGE, and thats different. i mean do you think these women, who allow men to disrespect them in such manner, respect themselves? do you think any woman who is in such nonsense r/ship WANTS IT or WOULD STAY IF SHE HAD A JOB or a way to take care of herself on her own (and not brainwashed by the stigma of divorce mother in Africa)?



who cares about SPEAKING about it?! first we have to make something clear, NOBODY should give a damn about what society thinks/want, each and everyone should act RIGHT BY THEMSELVES, and if being disrespected like that is what YOU are looking for, then so be it. if complaining has made the man worst, then pls sista, tell us all if NOT saying anything has made the matter better?! LOL!



the reason why you wrote what you just did is probably because you have NOTHING for yourself....you are ONLY a wife/home maker. the only skill you have is to care for baby and clean and cook, so i understand why you would stay if your man cheats on you........where are you gonna go with such skills? how are you going to care for yourself with such skills? being married at ALL COST, hey!
but as i always say: TO EACH THEIR OWN!
but here is a clue, if your man cheats then he ALREADY doesnt want you any longer, the only reason he would stay with you is because of CONVENIENCE!
Am so loving you Mr Brown! High self esteem is the key!
RomanceRe: Serious Advice Needed ASAP by Gracious10: 2:24pm On Sep 19, 2012
It's very obvious he still loves his Ex. I wonder how a full grown man allows his destiny to be determined by 3rd parties.( his family) the end point is that he will continue to cheat on his to-be wife even after marriage cos where the heart lies, the feet goes.

I will not blame him in anyway, sometimes when you truly love someone, you just can't let go.

Advice: he should squarely face his family and tell them his choice. Now if they accept or not shouldn't deter him. And the wife to be should count it all joy cos that marriage will either kill her or make her a murderer. A failed r/ship abi engagement is better than a broken marriage. If they continue, non of them will be happy in that marriage.

This goes a long way to say money cannot and will not buy love. It can only sustain infatuation for a while. My 2 cents.
