[quote author=Jenifa_ link=topic=591874.msg7597617#msg7597617 date=1295933224]Why are African Men so shy (or should i call it proud) to wash dishes, cook and do laundry for women that they admire?
   I'm not saying that it's the best thing, but it is not a problem for western men to do house chores for their gf or partner
   Now, i am yet to see that Nigerian man who would offer to wash a girl's pata and let her know that he is willing to baby sit, be submissive and do whatever else she would desire for him to do; he would rather die commuting to and from the brothel while praying to God to rain a submissive wife from heaven. Why is it so?[/quote][color=#9900ff]loool.
Well i do/did/can make advances.[/color]

[color=#9900ff]Not high on the list. Don't really like pretty boys. But then attractive can be subjective.[/color]

[color=#9900ff]Ewww @ sample. All this 'in the family' thing is gross.
I would tell, just to get out there. [/color]

[color=#9900ff]Where did i put that scarf?[/color]

[color=#9900ff]And Nolan is snubbed for best director.
I see some new scores i could work with [/color]

I saw the trailer for this movie a few days ago and I wasn't impressed at all.

[color=#9900ff]Yea well i thought it would have a cool twist or something. Only thing of significance is the 'croatoan' thing, but they are too late. We already did that on Supernatural [/color]

[color=#9900ff]Too lazy to find my old post on this. So i'll summarize;
Love is just a word. We give it life, thus it is subject to our interpretation based on who we are.
It's seems to fall short of our expectations/assumptions because we are flawed as humans.[/color]

[color=#9900ff]It's only one episode so far. Yes it's titled part 1[/color]

[color=#9900ff]Boring if you're mediocre. Which is like a large percent of the population anyway[/color]

[color=#9900ff]i weep for the species[/color]

There's no need to be in a hurry to watch it. But Annette Benning and Julianne Moore gave brilliant performances in the film.

[color=#9900ff]Annette usually gives brilliant performances.



Vanishing on 7th Street ~ Rubbish[/color]

[color=#9900ff]No not really. Movies are my passion. I've just been too busy for a long time to watch my own 'quota. So i'm catching up.
The kids are all right. . .Annette Benning? No really interested in watching that. Maybe next month
[/color]

[color=#9900ff]What does her being igbo have to do with her beating your sis or cellphone?
She should have beaten you instead.[/color]

[color=#9900ff]True Grit. Enjoyed it. Though the guttural twang takes a bit of getting used to. [/color]

erm ok, just to chip in some nu info

was in SG for the christmas break. pls be advised that nigerian passport holders

do require a visa to visit. plus a confirmed hotel booking and air ticket.

its a very expensive place but if u knw yur way ard, its would be cheap.

it is clean, cleaner than japan. alot of rules to follow for eg, u have to stand in line for a taxi, Oh yes a taxi

yu cannot eat or drink at the train station (yu will be fined $500)

thats basically the long and short.

with regards to moving?? well, i think its a lit difficult now becos of the credit crunch.

peace
