FashionRe: I Wanna Get Dread Locs, Whats The Big Deal Against It In Naija? by InkedNerd(f): 10:37pm On Apr 30, 2011
Why don't you just stock up on locing gel before you go to Naija? Go to a couple of locticians in your area and ask they how much is 5 months worth of locing gel.

There's nothing is wrong with being born in the US lol. The reason I said I had a feeling you were born in the US is because it seemed like you weren't aware of the things that are associated with having loced hair which I suppose is ok since some people who weren't born in Naija are unaware of certain things about what is perceived is Nigeria. Honestly, I have nothing against you being born in the US. Sometimes I get a bit heat from some Nigerians because I was raised in the US so I wouldn't even wanna step out of line and do the same to you. I hope you understand what I'm trying to say. I meant no harm with my comment.

Ok back to your locs, it all depends on how often you feel the need to re-twist them. Some people re-twist them every three weeks and other wait a bit longer. It totally up to you. I guess you could go with every three weeks if you like. Just make sure you have the proper tools if you're gonna do this while in Naija. Remember, some products here in the states may not be available in Nigeria,

Hmmm, I had a feeling you were born in the US lol.

Well, I think it would be better to have it done in the US or perhaps you could hold off on getting locs till you come back from Naija. I know you mentioned summer but exactly how long do you intend to staying in the Nigeria?

If you do decide to loc your hair before you leave the US and want someone in Nigeria to re-twist them for you, make sure that the person knows what they are doing and how to care for loced hair.
CultureRe: Should Paying Bride Price Stop by InkedNerd(f): 9:22pm On Apr 30, 2011
souldust:
the first time this question was asked i was not in support of it
but today i am begging to see things differently

men are beginning to see it as they are buying the woman
last night, i was listening to a programme on radio, and a lady said that
her would be husband told her that he has to test what he is going to buy

as a man myself i do not feel comfortable with that statement.
if i were a lady i would quit the relationship.
i do not know what you think.
I've never liked the idea of having a bride price or dowry no matter what culture we're talking about. And yes, you're right, a lot of me do think that they own these women because they paid a bride pride, culturally, it seems like some men have gone astray from the original "purpose" of having a bride price. I know this isn't a great example or reference, but I've seen some Nigerian movies where some of the men say such things. In come countries, families are using this bride price as a means of auctioning off their daughters to the highest bidder and be doing so, it reinforces the idea that women are nothing more than property.
FamilyRe: Wife's Mid-life Crises? by InkedNerd(f): 8:40pm On Apr 30, 2011

winkI'm confused my wife of 10 years is beginning to act funny.
She walks around the house unclothed but avoid any kind of physical contact with me.

I'm 49 she is 35. I luv her and still lust over her, if I suggest let's hv an early night she wud rather stay up late- watching home videos !
She has also avoided kiss or cuddling. The last we had sex was at Christmas.
I do everything for her. I cook, clean and iron, buy her nice expensive things, yet. I paid for her mum's n sister's ticket to visit us last Xmas despite I was skint, I now hv so much debt that I will never be able to pay back.

I hv never had a reason to suspect my wife of infidelity but at this point i'm getting confused.

I summoned the courage and spoke to her mum abt it,  she suggested I "show my wife more love n shower her with more goodies", as if I wasn't doing enuf, that it cud b she is having  mid-life crises. I don't know but I think I buy her a lot already. I can't remember the last tine I went shopping  for myself. Im really tired but I can't afford a divorce at this age.

Are there married men out there having/had same or similar experience ?  Kindly advise me .
I really don't know what to tell you about your wife but I doubt that she's having a midlife crisis. I do on the other hand think it nice that you lust for your wife, normally I see men lusting over women other than their wife. Anyway, have you tried speaking to her about her behavior?

"Good" hair?!?! Any hair that is properly cared for and loved is good hair. Anyway. . .

The reason your mother doesn't want you to go to Nigeria with locs is because there are a lot of social connotations associated with having loced hair. As for where you can get them twisted retwisted, I have no idea. If personally think you should get them locked here in the US first before getting them re-twisted in Naija.

A few months back, I posted some videos on a thread on care for loced hair. Even if you couldn't find someone to do your hair, there are ways for you to do it yourself. If you want to have it professionally done, re-twisting you hair in Naija would depend on how long you intend on staying there. For the most part, you should twist your locs as needed. By the way, do you know what kind of locs you want to get?

One more thing, I don't wanna assume things about people but I'm curious to know, were you born in the US?

Nairaland GeneralRe: Nigerian Men Or Nigerian Women- Who Needs Non-nigerians, Defense More? by InkedNerd(f): 5:26pm On Apr 30, 2011
[quote author=Jenifa_ link=topic=656978.msg8232113#msg8232113 date=1304131255]@OP, I think we can defend ourselves quite alright. I don't think we need to be defended by anyone.

ms. potato has a real boyfriend?
I thought she only had cyber boyfriends? lord reed and orton. lol[/quote]lol, she actually has a boyfriend. In my opinion, her and her boyfriend look alike.

harakiri:
In my opinion, it's best to call the bluff of these Non-Nigerians who think they can come here and talk crap about by reminding them of the ills in their own countries e.g a bad mouthed south african should be reminded that their own countries have the unenviable record of highest HIV infected people in the world plus high murder rate and sexual assault. The American who thinks Nigerians are the most dishonest should be told that the words "scam" and "fraud" and most of the high profile scams that happen in their country is perpertrated by their OWN citizens. The ukrainian,bulgarian and romanian should remember they are "world leaders" in credit card and bank account phishing scams. The Russian bride scams are as notorious as the Nigerian dating scams but i dont hear anyone pulling Russia's name to the ground. Jamaicans have no competitors when it comes to weed smoking and their youths are leaders of a "higher" tomorrow. Peru,Bolivia,Colombia and Mexico are hard working hard drug economies and if they decided to stop exporting cocaine,herione,extasy and crystal meth, the youths in devoloped countries would "suffer". Asias just love feeding on human foetus and its a priced dish over there. Nigeria comes no where close to the madness in these countries and yet. . . Anyways, perhaps the mudslinging would reduce if Nigerians themselves stop putting each other done. Nuff said!
Nice write-up.
Nairaland GeneralRe: If You Had A Billion Dollars, What Would You Do With It? by InkedNerd(f): 5:22pm On Apr 30, 2011
Hmmm, I would probably distribute some of the money among charities that have a "pay it forward" mentality when it comes to helping others. The remaining money. . . Ummmm, I'd have to think about it. I definitely don't think I'd wanna keep it for myself though.

I only stated an opinion of where I think the world is heading, didn't say it's a good or bad thing.

That said, I think marriage (good/happily ones) has its advantages and plays a role in an healthy society,

but then, I also think marriage is overrated and it is not meant for everyone.
I never said you couldn't have an opinion. The whole point in me asking you that question was to hear what you had to say.

Lmao, how mature of you. Smh, you didn't make your point so you resorted to name calling abi? I can see that you were raised well. . . Not!! Look, when you're done having your little ḅitch fit, get back to me so we can actually have a mature conversation instead of you just throwing around silly names and having tantrums. Have a nice weekend.
