Am going to bed catch ya 2morrow .Have a blessed sleep ooooooooooooooooooo.
CultureRe: Time To Abolish Bride Price by i4serious: 3:27am On Sep 10, 2007
i even learnt the level of education of the wife is a great determinant factor to how high the list could be.
Cause is like we have invested so much in  her so u need to pay higher than some one who is just a school cert holder
The marriage list for a master holder is to be settled at world bank.Not to even talk of Master holder with proffessional dgerees.
But theis doesn't happen in some tribe
just few things are needded.
CultureRe: Time To Abolish Bride Price by i4serious: 3:23am On Sep 10, 2007
but le tus not rely on the link u have above .cause there could be exaggeration.But the list may be similar to that oo but the money may not be as high as dat .
Or ur list requested for 50,000 naira ?
But all these in- law requesting for this and that oooooooooooo when their son is going out to marry they will be d one trying to negotiate with their own in- law to consider them oooooooooo
CultureRe: Time To Abolish Bride Price by i4serious: 3:18am On Sep 10, 2007
OSISI,
is it negotiable?
Where I have been asked to pay 2ooo naira can I just put 500 naira?
will it be inspected ?
But each family uses their head not to send their to - be in-law to hell .They cut it but they won't blow their trumphet that they are collecting lesser things.But those ones that needs to get to d other family  members I think should be collected accurately cause of public eyes

Grafkdon,
which state u dey fight for?u go dey stubborn small oooooooo( joke) cos u want to play hide and seek game with ur in-law that if papa wetin u called him doesn't get his 300pages of list fulfilled he would settle for low things.
U ARE TOOOOOOOOO FUNNY. I LIKE UR IDEA OOO MY PERSON.
ARE U AN IJEBU MAN ?COS IS IJEBU MAN THAT WILL ACT THIS WAY JUST JOKINNNNNNNNNNNNG OOOOOOOOOO
CultureRe: Time To Abolish Bride Price by i4serious: 3:07am On Sep 10, 2007
osisi,
I'm laughing seriously here .Ask me y the originator of this topic dowry stuff should'nt have said dowry but extortion  from traditional wedding requirements.
Cos d dowry is not the reall issue their but all other requirement like the groom buying clothes for the bride's mother grandmother thats alot of fortune being lavished on those people.no wonder men are picking race now.
CultureRe: Time To Abolish Bride Price by i4serious: 3:02am On Sep 10, 2007
is not the dowry that is expensive but all other requirement like d wife's box of expensive clothes, wrist watch,gold necklaces e.t.c But if  d lady is the  considerate  type,she can just get few new clothes, few shoes and bag and add all her good clothes that she has b4 to make d box or bag heavy and lock up the box keep the key between the husband and wife so that it won't be opened on the engagement day . Moreso ,is not usually opened in the engagement ceremony.The alaga /presenter too understands she will just say waooooooooooooo see how heavy this bag is, that I can't even carry it up that let us say thank u to d groom's family for spending 6billion dolars on clothes.
With all that, nobody knows d content .Abeggggggggggggiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii let us all aplly wisdom
Men in the  house don't be scared! is not as difficult as  people  paints it.
Either ibo,Yoruba,Hausa or calabar there may be a general rule but family always consider their to be in - law.
Is just fun of life that needs to be laughed at. Also, the groom's family takes d responsibility of dowry stuff and not d groom.good luck.
CultureRe: Time To Abolish Bride Price by i4serious: 2:47am On Sep 10, 2007
Is just fun of it.The price on dowry is usually a token like 20naira,30 naira but its been updated now is 2oonaira .It will be on the list given to the family of the groom but u can put in any amount in it .On the d day it will not be announced how much that was included,95% of the yorubas will specifically sorted the dowry envelope out and give it back openly to the alaga iduro or the head of the family of the groom taht they are not selling their daughter.Like myself it was refunded back to my husband's family head and they all said thank u .But all other things were not refunded like fish ,etc.

osisi
when u said your dad asked for just 1.oo naira, did he reject all d tubers of yam, palmwine, assorted fish,cola asuming i know the town u are from I would have listed likely things that accompanies dowry payment  from your town like he goat she goat.
Did u reject all the assorted clothes,shoes and bag that are neigbours of dowry?
Christianity EtcRe: Nigerian Christians Are Worse Than Nigerian Pagans In Crime And Evil by i4serious: 12:47am On Sep 09, 2007
It is even written in the bible that not all that calls Lord will enter into the kingdom of God.Let us try to do our best and leave the rest for God to do.Many are called but few are chosen.
Elijah's action in the bible was also somehow similar to ur reaction/observation now, but do u know God's response to Elijah's lamentation about the unfaithfulness of believers?God told him not to flex his muscles that HE GOd still have more than one thousand people that has not knelt down for baal/that are still faithfull.Elijah could not believe that cos it was not possible for him to have met all the believers in the whole world/country to have said they were all the same.If our own generation is corrupt we still have people of old known as the old school lapel like baba obadare,Idahosa,baba Fakeye,baba Adeboye,Young George Adegboye, Gbile Akaani,baba Kumuyi, baba Olukoya,baba farombi,baba Wilson Badejo,mama oluwasnmi,baba Oyedepo and thousand of others .

Its true for all religions but not all the so called christians are bad.Majority may be, cause of what is going on now but u should know that not all are bad. We still have some that are still faithfull.U might just have dealt with 1% of christians that does not mean those few u have met will stand for all others.NOOOOOOOOOOOOooo
PoliticsRe: A Sweet Wind Of Change Is Blowing In Nigeria! by i4serious: 2:21am On Jul 25, 2007
Not only being arrested but let them cough out some of the money they have embezzled.If all can not be recovered at least some to help those in their various states who are almost starved to death.Sincerely, the wind of change is taking place. It now makes all politicians or Government workers who have the mind of stealing in trilions to want to get it reduced cos of the fear of being caught later.
FashionRe: Where To Get Good & Affordable Bras And Panties! by i4serious: 10:49pm On Jul 19, 2007
U can get good ones at Tejuosho market in Yaba I mean new ones that's where UNILAG babes and all other campus babes go to .But u need to be smart as those women may make u pay unnecessary price.look at same product go to 2 or 3 shops or women I mean those sellers no crime when u tell them I may be back, to know the avereage price.To make u more confident so that nobody will push just anything into ur hands go with a friend.
U can also get at Balogun near great Nigerian house u will get them at wholesale prices even if u are buying one or two .Also on the Island u can get some near where they sell baby things for new mothers or pregnant women some are also there .
Christianity EtcRe: How Christians Pray by i4serious: 7:35pm On Jun 16, 2007
How will u react if ur son wants to flush ur passport ?(trying to correct my mistakes above)
The way the person that needs promotion at his place of work will pray will be different from the person that needs urgent job who has 8months house rent to pay ,feed 6 children.
Peace of mind unto everybody .
Christianity EtcRe: How Christians Pray by i4serious: 7:29pm On Jun 16, 2007
How will u raect when your son wants to flush your international passport that has a permanent residence visa to the U.K or canada?Will u say it gently 'son don't flush it' or will u stand up or shout and say it loud and clear 'son don't flush it'
The way someone that needs promotion at his place of work will be different from someone who needs urgent employment who has 6 children and 8months house rent to pay .
Your condition your needs determine how u pray atimes.
If u are just thanking God u don't need to jump up and down unlike someone that has an only child who is ill to the point of death.
Let us be carefull of what we say.
NO PASTOR WILL TELL HIS CONGREGATION THAT EXCEPT U JUMP UP AND DOWN YOUR PRAYERS WILL NOT BE HEARD OK? EVEN THE MFM THAT SOMEONE HAS MENTIONED.PEACE DO TAHT DAT SUITS U AND DONT NAIL OTHERS TO THE CROSS

HealthRe: Boiling Water In The Microwave by i4serious: 12:27am On Apr 23, 2007
I never heard this b4.I always boil water in the micro wave to make eba when am outside my home.But it always show bubble that is, it has reached a certain heating level.But I don't usually cover the plastic that I use in boiling it.
I had a similar experience when I was boiling an egg, in the micro-wave I thought it was o.k so I decided to remove it.As I was trying to peel off the shell ,my God it exploded and made a serious sound everything got spilled into my face if not for God something else would have happened.The shambles entered into my eyes lid.
Since then like this 'mo se ere gele mo'.I have not tried it again
May God heal the victim speedily.
HealthRe: Pimples by i4serious: 12:08am On Apr 23, 2007
U know what?There is no amount of medications or cream prescribed if she presses her pimples I tell u there would be no solution.
1st thing is that she should try as much as possible to avoid pressing or squeezing it out as this makes the skin wrinkle and it will result in scar or spot which is very difficult to  clear.
Wash ur face as often as possible,avoid oily things like groundnut,butter margarine,vegetable oil e.tc
After all these are done,then u can now use any cream or medication earlier prescribed.
I don't think her  face can be as bad as mine,but I noticed if I avoided pressing it my face looks better and those pimples will dry up themselves .But if I pressed them Oh my God!my face will look messy.
