Nairaland / General / Re: Nairaland Replies/contributions To Topics Are Shrinking by InkedNerd(f): 4:08pm On Mar 23, 2012
Gbawe:

The new site is not the problem. The issue is that NL is now a battle ground for blind hatred, nauseating feudalism and distasteful ethnic jingoism. It is ruining every single discussion topic raised here and putting off decent and balanced folks who would ordinarily be inclined to contribute robustly and intelligently in the past. Sadly, NL is now more of a jungle than a forum to discuss even semi-intelligently with others.

I highly doubt that that's the problem. I've seen such things like that in other nationalities forums and that certainly hasn't affected their numbers.

ifyalways: I agree @ Topic.
Nld has lost its steam and flava.

Its so "boring" these days and i see this new layout as a last desperate effort to save a sinking ship.

. . .and i soooooooo hate the new "friends" template.For fvcks sake who needs a nld friend for real?whats there to it except drama,baggage and gossips?Jeez.

Forget it being boring, the layout is discouraging some people from actually wanting to post. I used to be on nairaland while I was in my classes at school but with the way things have been changing, I could give two shïts about checking nairaland in class. Sometimes I may see a topic I'd like to reply to but the frustrating layout and weird look, I just ignore it.

SimonAndal: Signatures are back. Woot woot!

Doesn't change the fact that the layout still looks ugly.

I NEED REAL ADVICE COS I DNT CONSIDER MY SELF A VIRGIN OF ANY KIND...Thanks

Fist of all, you thinking about sex or "knowing techniques" doesn't mean you're not a virgin so please let's get that straight. Second, what exactly is your reason for wanting to lose your virginity--is it because you want to or because your friends are pressuring you into it?

Hakim27: Are you fellow nigerians watching what is unfolding? How can they not arrest the killer but they are quick to arrest a black male if he kills someone.

It's simple my dear--HE'S BLACK!! Didn't you know that assault a neighborhood watch volunteer wit Skittle and iced tea is a felony of the first degree tongue

Chei, seriously it really breaks my heart about what happened to that kid. I can only imagine what his parents must feel.

Romance / Re: Girlfriend Taller Than Boyfriend by InkedNerd(f): 11:33pm On Mar 22, 2012
If a guy is afraid of what other people will think about him dating a taller women, then he is not mature enough to be in a relationship. I'll admit I LOVE guys who are taller than me but hearing what people think or have to say will NEVER stop me from dating a guy shorter than me. The last 3 guys I have been involved with within the past two years were shorter than me and I didn't give a damn about it or what people have to say about it. If a guy can't deal with such a circumstance then he should step aside so a more understanding and mature man can walk into her life.
Politics / Re: Has Tribalism On Nairaland Affected You Negatively? by InkedNerd(f): 11:27pm On Mar 22, 2012
@OP: I can't really say that it has affected me in a negative manner. Tribalism whether online or not is nothing new to me. Unfortunate, I have grown up listening to people make disparaging remarks about other peoples ethnic background so it wasn't a shock to me to see it on Nairaland. Overall, it's sad that people let hearsay dictate their lives.
Foreign Affairs / Re: The American Justice System At Its Best by InkedNerd(f): 11:18pm On Mar 22, 2012
r231:

Seems in the US a black boy's life is worth less than a dog's.#ArrestZimmerman

George Zimmerman, accused of fatally shooting an unarmed black teenager in Florida, has ties to Northern Virginia, according to new reports.

The 28-year-old neighborhood watch captain, who told police he shot 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in self-defense, grew up in Manassas, the Orlando Sentinel reports.

According to the Sentinel, Zimmerman was an altar boy in Prince William County and graduated from Osbourn High School in 2001. His family relocated to Florida in 2002.

Zimmerman has not been arrested in the Feb. 26 shooting, which has generated widespread outrage, online petitions, protests, and heated statements by civil rights leaders.

Wonderful isn't it? I'm still trying to wrap my brain around the whole incident. It's becoming a moronic spectacle both on the police departments part and the judicial system. Not to sound evil or spiteful and in as much as I hate vigilantism, but if Zimmerman was to get gunned down in public due to some random act of vigilantism, I can't say I'd feel bad about it. The sad part is that they're using the "Stand Your Ground" law, more commonly referred to as the "castle doctrine", as a shield to protect this bastard. The Stand Your Ground Law is NOT applicable to the tragedy that transpired in Sanford. There is nothing in the castle doctrine as found in Florida statutes that authenticates or provides for the opportunity to pursue and confront individuals, it simply protects those who would be potential victims by allowing for force to be used in self-defense. A man who claims he is defending himself from a supposed threat doesn't get out of their car to pursue the person then cry foul. Although the law was created in order to deal with using force to meet force as an act of self-defense when in your home, in your car, on your property, or anywhere you are legally able to be, I don't see how getting out of ones car which is CLEARLY at a distance from the supposed thread, and pursuing the individual on foot can be categorized as self defense. Like I told everyone on theroot.com, anyone who sees Zimmerman in the streets of Florida and feels "threatened" by him and decides to shoot at him, when the police get there, just as Zimmerman used the law to his favor, I strongly suggest people use the law to their favor since Zimmerman wants play cops and robbers.

As usual, I can't say I'm surprised by all of this. We're talking about a nation where a homeless can get sentenced to 15 years in prison for stealing $100 yet a CEO gets just 40 months in prison for $3 billion fraud!
Nairaland / General / Re: The Answers To The Questions In Your Mind? by InkedNerd(f): 11:08pm On Mar 22, 2012
My Vicky: There was a day I saw a job advertisement online and the web link directed me to Nairaland.That's the first time I stumbled on Nairaland and what struck me most was the various funny and jovial comments by Nairalanders. Those comments plunged me into hysterics and paroxysm of laughter and anyday I feel like literally rolling on the floor laughing, I visited nairaland. My colleagues are usually awed at my sudden outbursts of laughter and I suppose I initiated/induced/instigated them to visit and join NL. But, overtime, I came to the realization that not every comment is a 'joke'; some comments could be insightful, didactic, thought-provoking and right on point! I also observed that there is hardly any issue of life that has not been raised on NL and hardly any question that has not been answered or solutions proferred, issues bothering on education, health, family, profession, politics, religion, romance, personal life and the list is endless. I have since added NL to my solution-provider Hall of Fame sites; others are google, wikipedia, yahoo etc. Now,
can you remember the first time you visited NL?

-What got you hooked to NL?

-Have you found answers to some of the questions bothering you here on NL?

-Would you recommend NL to someone seeking answers to certain nagging questions of life? and are there issues that has not been discussed on NL?

Nice questions OP.

What got you hooked to NL?
I got hooked on the romance section by accident one evening when I was Googling something with my sister. Somehow, we stumbled across a post about someone wanting to date/marry their cousin. My sister and I were amused by the comment so I started an account. I was taken aback by people speaking pidgin, writing in their ethnic languages, and a slew of other things that amazed me. I onto the site and a year and change later I'm on Nairaland. Being on the site has strengthened my pride as a young Nigerian women. Seeing so many Nigerian discussing various topics and exchanging ideas made me feel so proud [with the exception of some not so bright members tongue]

Have you found answers to some of the questions bothering you here on NL?

I can't really say that I had any answers in particular but I will say that I learn something new almost everyday.

Would you recommend NL to someone seeking answers to certain nagging questions of life? And are there issues that has not been discussed on NL?

Hmmm, I've never thought about that before. I suppose if I had no personal attachment to the person, I'd tell them about Nairaland. I'm quite sure that there are issues here that have yet to be discussed on Nairaland. In fact, there are things that I've thought about asking Nairaland members but most of the times when I'm thinking about these things, they're just random moments of me daydreaming. I always tell myself that I'll jot down my thoughts if I feel that its worth being shared on Nairaland but I always seem to forget.

Health / Re: Is It Safe To Allow Another Woman Breastfeed Your Baby? by InkedNerd(f): 2:56am On Mar 22, 2012
Coldfeet: My aunt got home one day from work in 1990 and asked her sister in law (God rest her soul) who was babysitting for her, if her baby has eaten and she replied yes! But not the baby food she left that she refused to eat it! My aunt then asked what did she eat? Her sister in law told her that Iya Qudus their neighbour breast fed her! When her crying became incessant due to hunger! My aunt didn't take it lightly with her sister in law and neighbour! To cut a long story short my aunt was convinced that no harm was done and that even hospitals beg other lactating mothers to breast feed new born babies whose mothers died giving birth. Am concerned now because my cousin the baby in question who is now in her twenties is manifesting some odd characteristics that is strange in the family. I was wondering if its possible that Iya Qudus may have transferred some of her genes to her through the breast milk!

No, it's not possible that Iya Qudus' transferred some of her genes to your cousin but it is definitely possible that she may have passed on some kind of illness or infection through the brëast milk. Some diseases and infections that can be passed through brëast milk are: HIV infection or HTLV-1, infectious (contagious) tuberculosis [brëastfeeding is safe after the mother has undergone treatment and is no longer contagious], hepatitis A [breastfeeding is safe after the mother receives a dose of gamma globulin], Hepatitis B [brëastfeeding is safe after the baby receives a dose of hepatitis B immune globulin (HBIG). The baby should also be started on the first of three doses of hepatitis B vaccine], herpes simplex [brëastfeeding is safe if there are no lesions on the brëast], chicken pox [brëastfeeding is safe as soon as the mother is noninfectious, meaning all spots are crusted over, lyme disease [brëastfeeding is safe as soon as the mother initiates treatment], beta streptococcus, and a slew of other diseases. But, common illnesses, such as colds, flu, or diarrhea, can't be passed through breast milk. In fact, if a mother is sick, her breast milk will have antibodies in it. These antibodies will help protect her baby from getting the same sickness. Brëast milk is a bodily fluid, just like blood. Would you be willing to give your baby a blood transfusion without first having it tested? A mother's milk is specific for her baby and changes as the baby grows. Brëast milk from another mother may also pass along viruses, which a baby can't fight because he/she hasn't received that mother's antibodies. Though I don't believe that her supposed behavior or characteristics have anything to do with the the breast milk, it would be a stretch if it was actually what is causing her behavior.What exactly are these behavior and characteristics is this cousin of yours exhibiting that you think is strange to the family?

Nairaland / General / Re: Seun Osewa Nairaland Is Now Boring by InkedNerd(f): 12:57am On Mar 22, 2012
Boring is an understatement. It's still ugly and nonfunctional. So far, the only plus I have seen is being able to quote people directly no matter how long ago they posted their comment--the downside to that is that you literally have to create separate tabs on your browser just to grab quotes from people so you can add them to one comment page.

Biggoozz: It beats me how this Seun guy as smart as he is has refused to heed the Niraland community advising him against this change who are in the majority. I'm just looking out for another forum where i can have all daily news digested and interact with fellow Nigerians and stop visiting entirely sad

Mehn, I know what you mean! Don't be surprised if it never changes because he doesn't actually think that people will find something better that can cater to what they initially liked about nairaland.
Romance / Re: Is She A Virgin Please? by InkedNerd(f): 12:47am On Mar 22, 2012
jobfront: Let's keep fooling ourselves ladies....since a virgin should be kissing, cuddling, petting, sucking, necking, touching, fingering, etc, etc, and still remains a virgin....eh yeah, una dey fool una self shaa...cos papa Godey no know una type, or get am for him big book, so wake up...you better enjoy it and know you did and stop fooling yourself that you are a virgin, when actually you aren't. just saying...meant no harm...cheers...lol

Ah ah, what's the problem?! Yes, that one girl that you mentioned is in denial but not all girls do this--she is not a representation of all girls or a majority of girls. Besides, if you're gonna talk about people being phony, men can be just as phony as well regardless of whether or not it relates to their sexuality.
Romance / Re: Is She A Virgin Please? by InkedNerd(f): 8:40pm On Mar 21, 2012
jobfront: @Inked Nerd, honestly, it seems I like her seriously, she makes sense just that I don't like virgins cos of so many reasons including how they take it when actually they are not true virgins but technical virgins. A TRUE VIRGIN KNOWS NOTHING LIKE SEXUAL PLEASURE, HAVEN'T ENGAGED IN ANY VIZ. KISSING, PETTING, SUCKING, LICKING, FPLAYING, ETC. SHE IS PURE IN HEART, SHE DOESN'T KNOW IT FEELS LIKE TO HAVE SEXUAL PLEASURE. Thats the kind God approves and wants if its for God, not the kind today ladies practice. Tnkx once again, but won't let go...Lolz...we kinda attracted to me, and I am too. We just spoke now, she is on an official trip outside state, hope things works out fine when she is back again. tnx I learnt something at least.

I understand what you're saying but you only have two options here; either you leave her alone or you respect her pseudo desire to remain a "virgin". I must say though, when you said that "true virgins" know nothing of sëxual pleasure, that isn't necessarily true. Being a virgin doesn't mean that you have no knowledge of what your sëxual desires are or how to go about achieving them. Everyone is different--not engaging in sex of any form doesn't mean that the person has no idea what they're doing.
Romance / Re: Is She A Virgin Please? by InkedNerd(f): 8:52am On Mar 21, 2012
jobfront: @Inked Nerd, you are not only good but u are also a a sweet genius. u make not only sense but brain. I wish some unwise kids who parade their naively sense here, reads your wise, educated comment. pls keep educating them, thumbs up!

@blackolove, tnkx...will take ur advice. & of course i know she is tripping for the little things she is seeing, of course i know, but kinda like her shaa cos she has not shown any sign of diamond digging or interest in whatever besides building a workable relationship with future, which really got me skeptical and also interested in her more than several others.

Meanwhile, she calls, text & do more than i am doing, which is a big plus to her. like her for sure, but want to punture that nylon.

Don't try to pressure her into sex. It's quite obvious that she is both confused and in denial. Just leave her and find someone else who you feel would be more sexually compatible to the manner that you'd like to engage in sex. Good luck!
