Winneygirl: So assuming d surname is Olutade, d child's full name will be...
'The Lord answer me Olutade'
or 'Apple of God's eyes Olutade'.

While we appreciate d meaning and intention behind d names we give children, let's be mindful of giving children names dat wud be embarassing 2 them.
If 'Answer' is asked his name and he tells them 'the lord answer me', wud he ever be taken seriously, or wud pple ever stop making fun of his name??

The name might have sounded beta in any native language.

yes, o.....imagine, that "the Lord answer me" in yoruba is "oluwadamilohun", which has more meaning and weighty than d english version. Hhhhmmm, na dem sabi, as for me sha, na yoruba names all d way.....ade......., olu........., ola........, ope.....etc.

Thank God, shes not a Nigerian, if not, only God knows what sagamite and 190 would have said about nigerian girls again.


@ post, d lady had really planned everything out and it perfectly worked out as planned.......hhhhmmmm, i pity d man.

@ jidegirl.......
I disagree totally with you on this, its a phone conversation with her peeps for goodness sake, she has to prove to them that, she has not forgotten their language. If d couple are really in love with each other, she will definately tell her hubby what she was discussing with her pple, if its what she can tell him, no need for insecurity. Marriage should not rob one of his/her identity.
I, for example, anytime my mum or any of my siblings is around, its my dialect i speak with them, and he never felt bad about it, even though, me and hubby are from d same tribe, but he doesnt understand d language......jokingly he ask me or even my mum, what we are discussing and we tell him, there shouldnt be need to feel insecure if true love and trust is intact in their relationship.
May God help us all.

@ op, nice write up.
I just hope you yourself do these.

So, how many years will d cat serve its term.........sets of unserious people, they know that d cat cant talk, yet, they arrested it.........


Mtchew.......

May God heal our country and deliver us from all these evil people.
Whether jambs or waecs, God is able...........

Ileobatojo have answered your question.



You dont need to feel bad at all when she is communicating with her pple in their language,except you did something bad that is making you think she is reporting you to her pple OR you dont trust her and her pple, as regards, may be, they can harm you. If these two reasons are exempted, then, remain cool, calm and collected, no qualms, she is just proving to her pple that she has not forgotten their language.
Cheers!

There is no any justified reason to cheat.... NO, NOT ANY?



I have never cheated and i will never cheat my partner.
May God help me...... Amen.

As for me, i love d native names die, i cant imagine myself calling my kids all those english names, and thank God, i marry someone who share d same opinion with me in this regard.


As for naming children phrases, its already happening, a colleague of mine name his boy "the Lord answer me"....can you imagine? Later, i asked him, how he is really going to be calling d boy, he said, d short form of d name is "answer"....

There is also a friend who called her daughter...."Apple of God's eyes".......can you imagine this also, talking about culture against religion and religion against culture.

Well, to each his/her own, the most important thing, regardless of names given to them is dt God should please spare these children for us and may our labour on them not be in vain.....amen.

Im not really a tv person, but between hubby and d kids, na real tug of war.......hubby can watch tv for 10 hrs, especially on weekends, he will hold on on d remote and be changing from one channel to another, there was even a day my 1st child told him..."na wa o, daddy, you are just changing from one channel to another channel without excusing us, mum taught us to always take excuse from one another b4 we change d channel, but you dont do that, im using this opportunity to tell you that, anytime you want to change d channel, always take excuse from us".....that day, hubby bought another tv and put it in their room.
As for me, na to dey look them, wetin concern me, i just need to listen to news....and maybe watch one film/home video, which i may not even watch till d end b4 im bored....so funny, men seems to like watching tv than women.......abeg, me na to read and nairaland i know, complete bushwoman.......

Yes, suicide is not an option but a lot is in our hands, i mean we d parents, d friends, colleagues, neighbours, etc, we need to always edify ourselves, to always encourage ourselves, when something evil happen to anybody around us, let us build up d person by letting him/her know that he is not d first person to experience such, when our children misbehaves, let us correct them in love, with love and thru love, not condemning them, even, when they dont perform up to our expectation in their studies, let us still let them know that we still love them despite their shortcomings.......
Let us learn to always build up/edify one another, let us always positively affect one another.......by this and more good deeds, we can help to change d mind of someone who is thinking about suicide.
May God help us all.

Nice write up @ op.
Its been a while now that i got married, and GOD +d tips here are d secrets to my successful marriage, therefore, i endorse this.


@ op, pls, i beg you in d name of God, do not be like some preachers who doesnt practise what they preach,(do as i say and do not do as i do preachers), bookmark this and ensure you practicalised them when you get married. It is well.
May God help you..... Amen.

Persnally i ask such question because i care for the person, if i dont care for you, what is my business with you eating or not. In addition, you cant ask a stranger such question, there are few pple i can ask that type of question, definately my hubby, my mum and probably my siblings and my close friends. Apart from these set of pple, what is my business if you chose to eat or not.
So, i can say its a way of showing care and concern.

How many people are going to ask this question? And how many times will this question be asked? Is this the first time we are crossing from a year over to another year..........abeg, we need to be more creative joor.

1. Depression.
2. Hopelessness.
3. Frustration.
4. Self guilt.
5. Self condemnation.
And so many more....
But...hey, its not a good idea to think or talk about it.
May God help us all.

I also have experienced it, it was a #1000 note, thank God it was on a working day and that im a well known customer there, immediately i saw d fake currency, i quickly went back and they apologise to me and changed d currency for me, one of them was even trying to ask me some silly question, but others shut him up, they even appealled that i should not publicise it. I replied that, so far you have changed it, no problem, but your refusal to change d currency will attract a very wide publicity.
It was a very funny experience...i tell you.

k2039: It simply means "garbage in, garbage out". The value of the output is a direct result of the value of the input.

i trust you......u never dissapointed me for once......thanks for helping me out.....love you!

I dont know why d guy still have to stay in that apartment, if he wanted to respect himself, he should have vacated d place even b4 d burial of d lady.



To d family of Bisi, stop fighting over her properties, you pple are suppose to still be in mourning mood....smh for you.

Efe said it all.

"Nkan ti a ba fon sinu fere ni fere maa fon jade"

K2039.......help me to translate that.


In addition, it seems so, i mean females taking care of their parents at old age than their male counterparts, because female children tends to have more time at their disposal than their male counterparts,......mark my word....."seems" but not true.
It actually depend on d type of training given to d child, whether male or female that determines how d child will be in d future.
May God help us all.

Personally, i dont like condemning other pple's idea, but this programme/arrangement get as e be.......may God help all those who are involved.





Im out!

Well, what can we say than, RIP to d dead.




Btw, i think this should be a wake-up call to our leaders as regards d deteriorating conditions of our roads, which keep on taking lives on daily basis.
How i wish there will not be any accident victim by this year's xmas celebration.
And to some drivers, even, if d roads are in good condition, they will still drive carelessly, some are even fond of getting drunk before driving......hhhhmmmm...d saying......"dont drive if drunk and dont get drunk, if you want to drive"......seems not to have meaning to such people. Hhhhhhmmmmmmm.......what else can i say than.........
May God help us all.

Its not possible for this to happening at d same time.....get real man!

Talk of people who are shameless, ashawos are one of them. Calling them bastards will surely bring out d shamelessness in them out towards d person who call them such, me, i no dey look their face , they no send anybody.

A kind of "opposite attracts"
to me, its very good in marriage, if i may say. Atleast, what i cant do, my hubby can do and what he cant do, i can do. Its complementary of each other.

Abeg, d time is irrelevant joor.....

If im d mther, i will declare both f them born on 01/01/13......
Let d person who helped me brn them come say na lie.

na wetin d parent want sha, i just said about my own.

There is a way nature catches up, they embezzle d money they suppose use to construct good roads, now, nature is catching up with them, the roads are fighting back.....hhhhmmmm, may d dead rest in peace and may d living wake up to do do right thing.

[quote author=val_dubem]God bless you greatgod[/quote]amen and you too.....but, sincerely, we really need it here.
