What started all this IDGAF? Just coming on NL for the first time in weeks. Very funny

Logged in after a few weeks, only to see this IDGAF phenomenon on NL. I find it hilarious though.
But what started it?

let me book space here too.

#Takes a Seat
A keyboard thread, wonderful
.

teepsee:
thank God this one came up, the first time it showed up some people said the man was an assistant not the doctor.


But this one will make some people very angry. Proudly AFONJAS

All this Afonja and IPOB and Herdsmen namecalling is an Eyesore on Nairaland. Can't I do a day here without seeing "Stupid IPOB", "IDIOT AFONJA", "BOKO brothers" and such?

Good job there. Everyone applauds musicians and billionaires. People like this also deserve at least applause

I'm male and not married but I know what some MIL are capable of. What I want to say is that not all MIL are wicked. Also, even your husband will offend you ( as you also offend him) once in a while. That's only normal and doesn't make him (or you) bad. It is also a normal thing for MIL to offend you once in a while. Do not take every single thing MIL does personal. Realize that she has some authority over your man(if you disagree, go and slap her and see what happens to your marriage) even though a good MIL won't abuse it. Some smart women befriend and get close to their MIL's who actually use their influence to balance things between the two spouses. MIL is powerful, as long as you marry a Nigerian. Face it. However, play your cards well, and you will enjoy MIL.

If you have gentle MIL, you are lucky:do not take advantage of her, don't assume it is your duty to put her in her place, just leave her, she is going to do normal by herself because when you try to fix her, na then wahala go start. Show affection and treat her well, all will be well. A lot of wives' cause unneccessary problems for themselves by trying to fix a MIL that needs no fixing, because they assume all MILs do.

If you have Outspoken, energetic MIL, that doesn't necessarily make her wicked(they are the easiest to provoke if you do anyhow). If she is the traditional type, greet her as you would your mum, or greet her as her son does or however she prefers. If she's from another tribe, learn how they greet there. Just let all your interaction with her show that you are a "good" girl, and are not a threat to her son AND DON'T show any sign of any intention to reduce her authority(Big Mistake). She will warm up to you and see you as at worst, one of their family assets( which will be good enough to avoid trouble). IF she's the kind type, you will even be able to use her influence on your husband at times. She might even prove influential in settling your quarrels (without taking sides).

If you have Wicked MIL(which can only be ascertained when all the above have failed), your matter dey God's hand.

Bottom Line: Most [b]normal [/b]MILs do whatever they do for their son's sake. The less selfish ones do it for the sake of the marriage. Once you don't make yourself an apparent threat to their son and prove yourself an asset in their family, they will be nice.
Give them the benefit of the doubt before waging war against them cos you can't win anyway. They might just prove to be allies.

PS
I'm typing from my observation of most MIL-DIL relationships. If you wanna confirm what I'm saying, look at the best MIL-DIL relationships and note that they usually involve gentle DILs. All this only applies when the MIL isn't wicked, so don't peg me as one of those guys who believe DIL should be the slave and MIL the master. I only want to point out how to treat a nice MIL so that you'll enjoy her. Enough said.

So true

Make I collect better seat for here jare.

Me too

It has appeared in many forms, I once saw this one...

Ole Santa's pack held thirty toys
Made by his elfin crew;
And though none made the same amount,
Each elf made more than two.
The elf named Cher made one more Christmas toy
Than the elf who dressed in reds,
But Cher made one less Christmas toy
Than the elf who made the sleds.
Spry Johnny Elf made racing cars;
Five toys were made by Jane.
The elf who dressed in yellow suits
Made each and every train.
The elf who always dressed in green
Made one-third as many as Sue;
Cute Marcia elf was dressed in orange,
And one elf dressed in blue.
The elf who made the spinning tops
Made the most toys of them all.
Another perky smiling elf
Made each and every ball.
Ole Santa's pack held thirty gifts
All tagged for girls and boys.
From the clues that you've been given,
Now guess who made the toys!

Einstein's riddle.
The German owns the fish. Solved it some years ago although I already got told the answer (however I did my own reasoning too and put my answer in form of a table just like the one above so that I can also claim to have solved it). I'm not too smart so it took me over 2 hours(had a lot of free time then)
The real challenge, however, is solving it without writing anything down.

I am a typical Nigerian who does a lot of things, one of which is play keyboard. I started quite young and i'm amazed at how these guys play so well at their ages. I've personally tried to learn to play flight of the bumblebee And I'm still at it. You don't have to play piano to sense the difficulty of playing it when you watch the video. the sheer speed alone gets my veins out after like 10 seconds( and I can't even play at full speed). It makes me appreciate these guys more and reminds me to work harder at anything I do because some guys out there are doing it better.

Here's... I don't know her name.

If it looks like her hands are just dancing across the piano, it's because she's playing with minimum wasted movement and is not deliberately showing off. Sometimes the most genius accomplishments don't look flashy. If you're not impressed with these, (for which, to be honest, you deserve your certificate seized if you're a pianist ), please do well to read the comments on youtube.



P.S--This is my first post on Nairaland. Seun, Lala, come and see guys playing piano oh.
