Voke is an Urhobo name

obong:
I live in the US and folks urinate on the streets (even on the train) all the time. No biggie.

I dont find nigerians to be a wolf0like as you describe them.  Most, especially outside of Lagos, are cool folks

Here in Uk, people don't pee on the streets, but they vomit on the streets and er, they eat on the streets while walking. That's freedom cos I know peops in Nigeria can never eat on the streets cos they like posing too much. Imagine walking and eating Mr biggs' rice...no, Nigerians will say they are too much for that. It's good sha.

It's barely a week since I registered on this forum and I got help with a website I'm trying to design. Thanks to jogego, demmy and hidden hunter. Is that not good enough? Just a week o, that means there's more to come!

That's quite funny..what if she has figure 8 now and after two kids, she turns to figure 0? I mean figure elephant.

I love Gospel Music. I also love RnB. I love artistes like Whitney Houston, CeCe Winans, MaryMary, Kurt Carr, Celine Dion, Nicole Mullen, Kirk Frankiln, R.Kelly, Jaci Velasquez, Yolanda Adams, Alicia Keys...anything inspiring. I love hearing choirs sing and I tend to buy any album by any choir.
And I love some Yoruba gospel musicians too..Tope Alabi, Bola Are.

The CONFAB have said that 45 years is the proper age for presidency and 40 for governorship.

Are they insinuating that people like IBB, Buhari, Atiku and the likes should relax and quit their ambition to loot no! I mean rule Nigeria again.

What's your opinion is if you were a member of the CONFAB

This article has really spoken my mind. Read it...

jogego:
The fact that she is more successful today does not mean that in a year's time I wont be more successful than her. What happens if I am even more successful than her today and her career takes a leap tomorrow? Will I on that basis divorce her?

If you are man enough, then no matter how 'big' the madam, you can control her. The house is the husband's jurisdiction and it should remain so no matter what.

This is so true...

African men are known to be egoistic and it is also known that they don't like a woman to be higher than them.
Guys on this forum, can you marry a more successful woman? I mean a woman that is wayyyyy richer than you. For example, maybe she has 2 cars while you are still perching on okada all around or maybe she already has her own establishment while you are still struggling to get a job. Can you say "I do" to a woman who will foot 99% of your wedding bills and even buy the suit you will wear on that day?

I want both! I want both!!

The first set of Nigerian movies that came out back then in 95/96(Am I correct?) were really nice e.g. Tears for Love, True Confession, Onome, etc. But these days, they have flooded the market with s**t because every Tomi, Dike and Haruna is now in the movie industry. Nevertheless, I still watch those movies to have a feel of Naija.

I'm writing
this letter slowly, because I know you cannot read fast.
The coat you wanted me to send you, your Aunt said
it would be a little too heavy to send in the mail with all the metal
buttons, so we cut them off and put them in the pocket.


Your sister had a baby this morning. I haven't found out whether it is a
girl or a boy, so I don't know whether you are an Aunt or Uncle.


PS(NOTE): Jagjit, I was going to send you some money but by the time I
realised, I had already sealed off this letter.

LOL! hahahahaha!!

IAH simply means I AIM HIGH.

sade:
If people in NIg pay #250 and some pay $50,what of those with "£".How much will they pay?And what are your plans towards ensuring that it works well?

Convert $50 to £ = £27 or approx. up = £30 or approx. down = £25

Plus 17.5% VAT = £35 just kidding.

To go or to stay?

I don't even know the topic which this thread fits in. Let me direct this question to you...

After graduating from a University in UK, would you go back to Naija to start working or stay here? What is the pay like in Nigeria's blue chip companies(hopefully you will get a job there)? Can it be compared to what you might be getting here? Would it be worth it to go back home?

Please don't talk about patriotism/fatherland/motherland stuff, assume you love Nigeria but you love money more (which is actually true). Let's say you are actually itching to go back to Naija but then you have to weigh the advantages and disadvantages, what do you think would be the best decision from your own point of view?

I like tall guys but that's not the most important factor! I prefer a fine guy with average height to a tall chimpanzee!

And why are they "mapping sub-saharan Africa's future?" Are they God who knows the future? Have they finished mapping their own future before mapping other people's? They should go sidon.

None of these two candidates will move Nigeria forward.

I think 2 or 3 is okay. even if you have all the money in the world to raise kids, taking a trip or vacation with 5 or 6 kids towing along might not be so cool.

We need more universities but they should all have good standard. If there are too many, they might not be of good standard again.

The ideal man for any woman is a handsome Christian, Godfearing, hard-working, loving, caring, romantic, understanding, gentle but not mumu, intelligent, determined, honest, faithful, humorous, straightforward man who has a bright future, vision, focus and foresight.

He should be able to at least cook a few dishes because he cannot expect his wife to be cooking 24/7/365. And he must be tall! He must not be one that talks too much, sleeps too much and he must not snore while he sleeps.

That is the ideal man but unfortunately, you can't find all these qualities in a man.

1. wake up
2. brush teeth
3. take my bath. (After this I take a lot of time b4 putting on my wears because I like to dance infront of mirror)
4. put on my wears.
5. comb my hair and pack it.
6. rub powder on my face.
7. rub a little vaseline on my lips.

I only rub my body with body-cream in dry seasons when my skin looks dry.

And of course, I check out myself in the mirror.

Women are attracted to money. Agreed. Thank you.
So what are men attracted to? Poverty? Hunger?
Please answer this question honestly.

Our God is a God of War. The Bible says; "The battle is mine, says the Lord." God declares war on his enemies, he gives the righteous power to defeat his enemies(who are actually our enemies but became his enemies because they are against us, his children).

It doesn't have to end in "com". Remember it was just a suggestion.

Why is it Pastor T.B. Joshua that is so controversial out of all the famous pastors in Nigeria? There must be something ...
