I find the whole thing to be amusing, especially since a lot of these Nigerian "celebrities" are known for being foolish anyway. What would be even more amusing would be if the hacker actually stuck to their word and hacked into the accounts of politicians and official--now that would be wonderful!! When he or she does that I will truly commend them for the person! |
Juliefly:Wear whatever color you want and the bridesmaid dresses can be whatever you want them to be. There is no rule that says a bride must wear a white dress. Whatever trim you want is entirely up to you. In fact, I recall watching a documentary a few years back and doing some research, I discovered that it wasn't until the Victorian era that women of western society started to use the color white as a choice of color for their dresses. In many parts of the world, wedding dresses come in an array of colors. Brides in cultures around the world have married in a variety of vibrant colors, attaching different meanings to each color. Some have universal meaning--purple and gold for royalty, white for purity and black for death. Here are a few others, in Morocco it is bright yellow, because it scares away the evil eye; or green, because it is the color of plants and brings good luck. In China, red is the color of joy and luck and traditional funeral attire in China was/is white. In Japan, white silk wedding kimono lined in red, which symbolizes happiness and a new beginning. In Spain, Spanish Roman Catholic brides wear blank gowns and lacy mantillas to show their devotion until death. In India, a silk sari made of silk embroidered with gold thread. Depending on the region, the silk is red or white with a red border or a combination of yellow, green and white. In Korea, a lime-green wonsam or hwarrot is worn over the traditional wedding dress, the hanbok. The womsam and hwarrot are embroidered with flowers and butterflies, and banded with red, symbolizing heaven; indigo, for earth; and yellow for humanity. The bride's hands are covered in white, the symbol of respect, and in the US, Americans did not always believe white was traditional. In fact, during the Revolutionary War, some brides wore red to symbolize the independence the Colonists desired. Other brides wore purple, which represents honor and courage during the Civil War as a tribute to the dead. |
@OP: My day was pleasant compared to yesterday. While on my way to my best friend's job, I was on the bus minding my own business when all of a sudden one old papa started talking to me. I smiled and chatted for a bit then put my music on full blast so I could ignore him. Instead of leaving alone, he continued to talk and then proceeded to talk ask me for my number. I told him that I was flattered but not interested. Then he nudged me and asked me if I could take his number and I said I wasn't interested. After I told him that I wasn't interested, he said I was mean and asked if we could be friends. Once again, I said no and he's still nudging me!! I ignored him and pretended I was sleeping and the guy just kept watching me as I ignored him. At some point in time, I actually did fall asleep. Eventually, I woke up about 2 or 3 stops later and he was still looking at me then he told me that I was mean to him and that he tried. I just looked at him. Then for whatever reason he decided to announce me that he was getting off the bus and proceeded to move to an adjacent seat and continued to stare at me and then he mouthed "I love you" and was waving at me like some little child. While he was waving, I wanted to laugh but I didn't. I was just thinking to myself, "Look at this old fool!". I was starting to get annoyed and he finally got off the bus and walked away like nothing happened. I got off at the next stop and walked into a shoe store to buy a pair of boots I've had my eye on. They didn't have my size at that particular store so they called another location and asked them to put the boots aside so I could come and pick it up. While the cashier was ringing me up, he asked for my name and phone number [for receipt purposes] and I gave it to him and then he realized I was Igbo so he started speaking to me in Igbo. That just made my day afterwards to run into a fellow Nigerian. What warmed my heart even more about speaking to the cashier in Igbo was that he had a daughter who was about the same age as me. He seemed so proud of her. There was just such a loving fatherly thing about him that made me happy while I was conversing with him. As I left the store, I thanked him in Igbo and he said to me "No problem, nne jisike". I smiled and then walked out. As for today, I finally worked up the courage to talk to a classmate I've been observing for the past two days. The guy is a Swedish student who just moved to the US 3 months ago. I first noticed him in class one day because he had this really nice red hair also, he's very androgynous so that made me wanna get to know him even more. So today, I walked up to him and asked if he was a natural redhead and he smiled and said he wasn't. From there we struck up a conversation. I personally think he's a cool guy but I can tell and know that my other classmates have been rude about him being in the class. I heard one girl whisper the other day, "Is that a girl?" and her friend laughed and said "It's a guy!" and she made a weird face then today some destitute looking Indian/Pakistani students whistled at him as he went to take a seat ![]() I went over to him and spoke to him after class because he seemed so quiet and perhaps lonely but I could be mistaken about him being quiet because as I got to know him, he seems naturally soft spoken and somewhat reserved. Anyway, that was pretty much my day. Photography class and psychology class were just kinda blah ![]() Flashaldrin:Well nothin'. I just have to suck it up and deal with it ![]() |
Amu Igwe:LMAO! |
@OP: My class was boring as hell. Can't stand my biology professor--she has a weird sense of humor. I've officially lost interest in school. I just wanna get this crap over with. |
@OP: My sista, why are you so bothered by this guy? If he's not for you, ya give him the deuces and call it a day ![]() |
[quote author=Mrs, Chima link=topic=855380.msg10274378#msg10274378 date=1330221020]Oh okay. So a Nigerian woman tried to used you for Somali papers? ![]() Was it Onila/Swallu? [/quote]lmao sorry but I couldn't help but laugh at the red bolded part ![]() |
TisaBone:Just be honest with guys on your views on sex if/when the topic comes up in a discussion. If they wanna run off after that then that's their problem. No need to stress yourself. |
@OP: Of course its ok, just as its ok for you girlfriend to have multiple boyfriends while she's dating you exclusively |
@OP: While I have heard such comments about Arab men but I don't use that as a means of judging others. I do think there is some truth to Arab men liking Black women but I personally won't feed into the stereotypes about them wanting them surely for pleasure. If using such beliefs about Arab men were all true then I guess the same can be said about all Black men when it comes to them dating white women or stereotypes of Asian women in bed, or stereotypes on Hispanic women. Everyone is different. Just because a few people behave in a particular manner doesn't mean that most or all do. I've met some really wonderful Arab men but I don't let such beliefs get in the way of me getting to know them. Think about it this way, how does it feel as a Black women to know that people at times look at your a just a sex object just because you're a Black woman or just because they might have met or known another Black woman who behaved, spoke, or thought in a particular manner? In terms of how you deal with seeing him on a daily basis, just be yourself. You can't spend all your time trying to avoid him. You have no obligation to him and he has no obligation to you. Just don't make too much of a fuss over the whole thing and move on. lol, that's why I have a personal rule against dating people who go to the same school I attend. |
MarcAnthon:Eh ya, sweetie, let's not judge everyone because of one lost soul You wouldn't want to feed into the same mentality he or she possesses ![]() |

ayanle456:lmao, wow interesting to see that that's what you truly believe. Well I must admit, your musings have been a very entertaining read for my weekend. I'll be sure to use portions of this thread in my psychology class when we cover topics relating to social constructs of race, but I digress. Look my dear, whatever you wanna call yourself is up to you. Like I said, I've heard so much crap about Somali's and Ethiopians yet I don't stupidly use the hearsay as a means of judging an entire nation or region of people. If you wanna use generalizations as a means of passing judgement, then so be it. The world is your oyster. So now that you've spewed your bigoted views all over a site that is predominately Nigerian, Black, and African, what is it that you are hoping to gain? Yes, we're heard all of your babbling but inherently what is it that you want now? |
@OP: If I may ask, why do you feel the need to group us West Africans together just because a select few have decided to air their personal preferences of African girls from other regions? I've heard so much crap about Somali's and Ethiopians yet I don't stupidly use the hearsay as a means of judging an entire nation or region of people. And to further give us an understanding, where is this need to assert your national ego coming from? Why do you have such an innate desire to put others down as a means of showing your Somali pride? Instead of promoting African solidarity, you're widening the gap which exists in Africa. |
@OP: I spent my weekend sleeping, eating, and Skyping ![]() |
