The way i see it, lies lies lies cause one thing,Distrust across the board. So you know of an affair, mother or father is unhappy in the marriage due to the neglect on the part of the unfaithful person. There are countless arguments, fights going on, in my case i witnessed my father lie every time mum asked where he had been and then i am the child she holds when she cries , as a child i felt such a heavy burden, and felt she had to know. Sometimes its best especially when everyone is miserable and you know that only a split would give you a chance of some normalcy. Someone said talk to your dad instead of telling your mum, well we know the answer to an upfront child in those days was a quick whooping, thats why people are so messed up these days, they can't tell the truth about anything. When a child makes a mistake the first remedy is a whooping , now tell me does that encourage a child to take responsibility for making a mistake? thesame mistakes adults make all the time too. Instead to save yourself from a beating you take the easy way out and lie through your teeth. I am glad my mother instilled truth in us and encouraged us to show our feelings, because sometimes kids could do with seeing their parents as human beings and seeing her in all her weaknesses made me realize that its ok to cry and bloody well scream loud when situations get too hard to bear. Some men are good, my experience has not totally warped my mind, i have to believe in the goodness of human nature, this did not come naturally at all, i had to work at it and i am happier for it. I have a motto which goes; ''you are as happy as you allow yourself to be'' |

Interesting one here. I did tell. When i was 6yrs old my dad used to take my sister and i to this woman's house after picking us from school and we were made to play in a different part of the house and kept entertained with sweeties and videos(it was the 80's). anyway i always felt there was something wrong about it, especially after my dad would disappear for weeks and months, saying he was on business trips. He was never there when my mum had my younger sisters,she had to go to the hospital herself and it was an extremely sad time for us and when people say kids ddon'thave a clue about things, they are wrong, i definitely knew what was going on. I told my mum about this woman, she told her sisters and they asked if i was sure i said i could take them to her place. they were stunned and asked how a small girl would know the way to a stranger's house. I told my mum, ''dad takes us after school all the time''and she just wept. To cut a long story short, my aunts ,mum,uncle and i got in the car , drove to my school and i started giving directions from there and i could not believe how the roads all came to me so easily. although silently i was praying i got it right cause i had everyone worked up for a confrontation. Got there, led them to the house and my father was right there,both of them lounging on a hammock in the garden. Well it was not very pretty after that and i was promptly eescortedto the car by my aunt at that point. We left my father, he came begging months after, i was praying my mum would not go back to him, even at 6yrs of age, i hated him for what he did to my mum. We found out that my father had been seeing this other woman since i was 3yrs old, mum got back with him but she was miserable, he carried on seeing the other woman cause after my mother died guess who became step mother? yep! She had been the other woman for as long as i can remember, tore our home apart, my sisters have trust issues because of this experience too and till this day my father can not look me in the eyes properly, cause he knows i know him for what he is. I Finally asked him after many years why he dididn'tust marry the other woman and have two, as most African men do? instead of lying and betraying us. He said your mother would not have been able to handle that and i said well you did worse, cause you should have let her go when she did. To answer your question yes i will do it again and tell, just wish she was strong enough to stay away, she would have been happier and so would we. 3 Likes |

@whitelexi you seem to be a lost cause, very immature and very ignorant. I am Nigerian and i expected that sort of reply from you, i don't have to put my picture on display for the world Mr and that sweetie does not mean i am ugly, i am not even dark skinned, not that this matters, i am just standing up for people of dark skin , and hate people like you who in their own shallow minds think being darkskinned is ugly. I still say you definitely aren't nice looking at all(dark skinned or fair skinned) [/quote]ONe thing to say here, ''better to let people assume you are dumb than open your mouth and confirm that you are indeed'', Think about that Mr free speechwhitelexi:I bet you think in your mind that you are good looking, is that why you put urs up? |

@whitelexi sorry you have realy done it now. Just looked at your profile, you aint nice looking yourself maybe that's why you think dark=ugly Sorry you got me peeved now. And you are a grown ass man too , i though you would be some teen ager who had no real knowledge of self or people, but Agbalagba like you to come out with that is ridiculous. |

[/quote][quote author=whitelexi link=topic=8201.msg254040#msg254040 date=1143281617]Majority of Ghananian Ladies are far from fine, I seen some really black, I mean charcoal blackish kind of mean looking peeps and i really don't need to ask where they from because its written right on their foreheads.@whitelexi, you leave me in utter embarrasement at your post and shame in your lack of pride in your heritage. So you equate being really dark skinned with ugly,(pity), Go back to page 1 and read my post i cant repeat myself, How can you say ''blackish=mean looking people? I wish i was dark skinned,proper dark like the model Alek wek or Like my Ghanian sisters, it is such a rich and vibrant skin tone. The only positive i can draw from your comments is where you say '' they are so dark that you dont need to ask where they are from, because it is written on their foreheads.'' I say GREAT to that because skin color among many other attributed shows one's roots and heritage and to me its a good thing. Dont get me wrong i dont have a prejudice bone in me, you only need to look at my family tree to see so much mixes, some of us are as fair as fair can be and some as dark as you put it charcoal, there are nice looking ones and not so nice looking ones. I think your comments are unhealthy and says alot about you. ''shallow'' |

| Travel › Re: Africans Dying On Their Way To Enter Spain by idiotboop(f): 1:23am On Mar 22, 2006 |
Romeo Thank you for posting this thread, it really saddens me and of course alot of people. It also makes me mad that the Government of these African countries, especially Nigeria really aren't doing much here. Again this is all a product of the long list of the things that can go wrong when an economy is mismanaged and people are so badly neglected, especially young people. I feel so so sad that we have so many young, talented people who are hardworking and if given the right environment and opportunity will flourish and live a decent life. So many young beautiful , brainy women are now on the shores of countires like spain,after being helped in by people i consider soul destroyers, to sell their bodies. so many meet the wrong people, get killed and are unaccounted for till today.After all which police force would be willing to use valuable resources to find out the killer or identity of an unprocessed,black,illegal immigrant prostitute? I know of a 20yr old in one of the colleges i work, who was given fake documentation for entry into spain. No sooner had she entered spain, had the poor girl been given her first job, which of course was prostitution. I asked why she did it and she said'' for my family'' I was shocked and asked what about your parents? she said they begged the people who took her to help their daughter get to spain, I asked did they know what you would be doing? she said'' yes oh!'' Thank God she met someone who got her out of the situation and is now living in the UK and trying to make sense of her life. Sadly she's one of many, i realized i have been in the dark about the extent of suffering in Nigeria, people are selling their souls just to get out , to have a chance of some sort of worth, how ironic  I don't feel too much anger towards the countries that use tough immigration laws to protect their borders, after all they have their citizens to think of. As Romeo said i don't agree with the insensitivity, but again, you don't break into somebody's house and expect them to roll out the welcome mat. I always say for a person to leave their home country in such a manner it is saying alot about how far they have been pushed. I am so emotional now i am going to read my bible and pray. Good work Romeo |

Great attitude maxfactor two letters for you here(O. P) and after that i have no need to respond to you and would be great if you returned the favor and let others express their opinion on the thread instead of making it about me and you and whats up with me or whats up with you  ]Again totally OP Maxflame:Either one has to worry about you, which i don't think is the case as you wouldn't have come here openly saying the above. Or it leaves the second , which is you are not the brightest of the bunch. |
| Nairaland General › Re: Deadly Diary: Please Don't Read! by idiotboop(f): 8:15pm On Mar 21, 2006 |
@maxflame eerm so what? Its still going to feed the sick minds it wants to reach , Most movies are fake , but they carry a message don't they? most are very topical in nature aren't they? My point is in my first post and that is , it is what it is gratuitous from start to finish So being fake has no bearing on it what so ever. What you need to know is words, media forms are very powerful in shaping or influencing some people. Fake or real any work of fiction that is topical in nature and has the potential to stir up a certain behaviour or the desired response in its target audience can be dangerous especially if the person is predisposed to the particular behaviour. p.s i always work through as much possibilities as i can where there is no obvious source when giving an opinon about anything |
| Nairaland General › Re: Deadly Diary: Please Don't Read! by idiotboop(f): 7:48pm On Mar 21, 2006 |
| I think some people have completely lost it here. I read the whole thing and wish i hadn't, i would love to know the real source of that diary , i would not be surprised if it comes from some darker characters out there. By this i mean, pedophiles. The diary has one aim and that is gratuitous incest, pedophilia. The Best way i can describe this is , you know when they show some programmes or films on telly and it has an under tone of something more extreme,e.g the film crash, well thats how i can describe it if it makes sense. Some people are saying they never had sex, but read between the lines, believe me i tried so hard to find something Innocent about it but fund nothing. I see it for what it is, gratuitous incest and pedophilia. The second thing is this might be from a real woman , real experience, but the question is ''what is she hidding?'' I think my first theory is more likely to be the case. I have seen many write ups like this in my line of work as a psychologist although i don't specialize in the clinical , it still shocks and appalls me to see this like this and i have seen and heard worse. |
| Culture › Re: Speaking Out Against The Bride Price Practice by idiotboop(f): 6:43pm On Mar 19, 2006 |
@cantago i don't think any one is blaming white man for this topic, people are just drawing relations to the thread i think  Bunkbobo, my in laws do not laugh at the idea of the bride price at all, infact they said it was refreshing to see my culture at our wedding and its a shame they in the west seem to have lost some of theirs. They were extremely involved in the ceremony and wanted to be taught a few words to speak on the day , which they did, it was a beautiful day and i was extremely proud to be a Nigerian that day. Bunkobo darling it is not so bad, embrace it , yes there are some undesirable elements in all cultures across this globe, but should that mean we do away with what binds us as people? the sense of community and unity? come on its not that bad There was definitely no haggling involved lol,  kajad:I like kajad's idea oh! shall we start the collection?

| Romance › Re: Parasites Afloat: Men Who Live Off Women by idiotboop(f): 5:08am On Mar 19, 2006 |
All parasites are BAD  parasites feed-off right? parasites don't give back right? parasites are self serving? Nah, i don't like parasites. Man or woman, ladies don't use excuses that the man is the provider, yes provider in a long , labored stable relationship, maybe. Provider in a broader sense, like being the rock, the strength, the protector etc, lets not put all this financial burden on men and expect to be treated equally at the same time, ladies make your minds up, you want to be independent women but with the added bonus of sucking the man dry. Men parasites i dislike too , same goes for this kind of blood sucker. Where is your dignity is what i say. But then again some people deserve the relationships they have because you can always walk away, now if a woman cant see that she is been lived off , and she hates it, then how many times does one have to be dropped on the head as a child to realize that there is a problem. Then we have the sugar daddy/mummy arrangement, here i would say both parties know the score, so they are both a unique kind of parasite right? |
| Culture › Re: Speaking Out Against The Bride Price Practice by idiotboop(f): 4:38am On Mar 19, 2006 |
@Bunkbobo I think you are going over the top here, it is a cultural practice and yes in some cases some parents exploit the custom for thier own financial gain, but i dont think alot of women feel degraded by this practice. Degraded? i dont think so. i recently got married and Had a traditional and christain marriage where my husband who happens to be English paid a teeny winny bitty token bride price(as a token) and the whole traditional part of the ceremony was really awesome, i felt connected to my root, my English inlaws enjoyed the day , didnt see it as a demeaning act and my father inlaw even made a joke when presenting the silly bride price about buying one (i.e me) and getting one free(i.e my sister). Come on its tradition , now i am not saying all traditional practices are right  wont mention the ones now, but we have a rich mix of cultures and i find they are being washed away and we know that no one is really tied down by the legality of the whole affair, its all done in good faith.You also said women should stop the tradition of being sold, i think a majority of the parties involved are not forced into the union except in some parts of Nigeria and africa where arranged marriages are the norm, even that in some cases is not a bad thing. My friend from gambia had an arranged marriage and she hated him at first but i was shocked when she called me up to say she was falling inlove with him Bottom line , sometimes people would exploit this culture as they do other things in life. I do not feel demeaned, unworthy or a property because of this. Just dreading the day my Bambinos would watch our wedding videos and say'' oh my gosh mummy was bought'' |

I think the people slating blacknight need to apologise. He advertised in a dating zone for what he wants in a partner, now why are people coming here to analyse the reason behind his advert? I came across this topic while browsing and wasnt going to comment as i am not single and dont meet the requirements of the poster, just like alot of you here. Why not leave him to it,? I think some of you guys are out of order. WHY this long debate?

Hiya I dont like the idea, but bearing your married name is not set in stone, so if husband agrees all well and good. but i totally dont like the idea. Feminism gone too far is what i say, Sometimes the wife is the only heir or child of the parents so she may feel like preserving the father's name like someone said by hypenation. I love some of the guys in this forum you are such cave men arent you? . its ok though i am old fashioned and totally dont believe in feminism and all the rubbish about role changes . men are men , women are women. |

Awww Giddy where are you? Sorry you havent seen any pretty ghanian girls Are you crazy? there are loads, loads, i have a lot of ghanian girlfriends and one in particular is the most gorgeous woman i have seen , and thats coming from a straight woman I think there have the most glowing skin texture, proper black beauty, i am fair but wish i had my ghanian friend's color. Also being fair does not make one pretty, and being mixed race definately doesnt make one pretty , i have seen some right dogs in my time. I love dark skin, well they say we always want what we dont have. One last point i have been to ghana and noticed they dont bleach like other africans do and thats really beautiful i think.

| Family › Re: If Your Husband-To-Be "Murders" Queen's English Daily! by idiotboop(f): 3:24am On Mar 10, 2006 |
(betty shakes her head sadly) So what? Like you said its the queen's english not african english if there is such a thing. My point is why are Nigerians so pretentious and judge people purely on how well they speak a langauge that was totally adopted by Africans during colonial reign? stop being a snob.is what i say to anyone who judges on that basis. had to laugh when you said the word ''janded'' i dont care i think it is superficial and tells alot about the complexes we have as Nigerians. I have this arguement with family and friends all the time. I would associate with anyone, dont care how they speak as long as they are good people. I come from a very priviledged and highly academic background and found that the people in the family circle were shallow and not real, not saying all are like that. I guess all i want to say is i am a proud nigerian, african and i wish so much i could speak a nigerian language(fault of the parents not mine,example of the snobbery i mean), we should preserve the cultures and stop giving others complexes about a langauge that is not even the mother tongue. |
