kathyekiti:
I would also suggest you abstain from sex at least until the second trimester.

Hey Kathy, Ekiti kete Ive seen you suggest this to early mothers, what's the reason?

Keep insultng us cos you wanna get Igbo husband, sho gbo

do they even allow dreads to grow out, its usually shave off continously til it grows out normally

shut up. Flava isnt Yoruba. Olote ni e.

That burnt raisin is Ghanian

Have you read the Kite Runner as well, tpia

Gabrielle Union, Osun? Who dash?

If her skin was like Alex Wek then maybe

But its noooooooooot

Jada is Calabar

stillwater, we dont want Chamillionaire, abi ki lo de

he gained the money back so why is he still crying?

Chamillionaire doesnt look Yoruba in the slightest. Berra take your Akwa Ibom brother comot

black women in general are too forgiving which is why they are the ones dying of Aids. It's a known fact that they are on the top of the list and a good % are married

least you alanu Samarias have heaven to look forward to since no one else appreciates your over the top forgiving nature

If a gf left a dude cos he was sick, i wonder what people would say

Lmao what exactly is the "2nd side" to a story of stoning a CHILD to death

Some people will defend anything malicious as long as it's based on their "religion"

That dumb excuse of "oh if this marriage doesnt work, the next one wouldnt" is so tired.

and what about those who get divorced, get married again and last for years and years

Are their super people?

A woman forgave her husband the first time and he did it again and the only excuse you people have is "oh dont leave cos God will make it happen again in another relationship" cos apparently that's the evil malicious god that some of you worship.

igwe 1:
what do U want her to do?

Get Aids and let the men of NairaLand pay for her medication.

what else?

ibeere oshi

Its very hard for me to accept him back after forgiving him only 3 weeks ago for the same thing

When it comes to forgiveness of adultery, There's always two ways about it

1. He'll take the forgiveness, be ashamed and never do it again

2. he'll take ADVANTAGE of the forgiveness, see you as weak and do it again

Your husband did the latter, therefore has NO respect for you. The pregnancy makes it worse.

Have you spoken to his family?

stillwater:
My beef with this bride price thing starts with some unknown people aka umuada putting some ridiculous amount and making unnecessary demands to the groom?
Second, the thought some man would use it as a rememberance on "who's boss".

Exactly

I'm not sure we have "umuada" in YorubaLand though. Hopefully not.

"oh I remember saying hello to her when she passed my house everyt morning therefore I must eat from the wedding stuff" Pathetic freeloaders

iice:
[color=#9900ff]After Frida, sadly she put her acting chops on the back burner and relied more on her sexuality/sensuality to carry through.

Reason why i don't like actresses ughhhh too many rely on their looks to get by.[/color]

which is why I perfer movies that dont have women in them or the woman is there for a REASON.

Secondly the men marry some what later when they are financially and emotionally matured

That's when the control freak comes in. "You werent there when I was making my money therefore I dont have to run any family monetary decisions by you"

I dont see how it's a good thing to have a tradition that forces men to wait til they're in their mid 40s before they can get married without "disgrace"

Lol Busy, is this your way of escaping ban before the new year

whatever90:
this bride price of a thing needs to be abolished,how can one spend over 6 million for bride price stuff

i must say its worst in d east,especially d igbo culture,I'm an igbo girl but i must say d truth

Lmao. I wonder where Hollandis got his "23 naira" theory from  

don't be silly, most men will still lord over women, even if the didnt pay their bride price.

What are you talking about? and no one is being "silly". It is a known fact that some husbands bring up this "brideprice" in arguements. Blah blah dont you remember that I paid this and that. Difference between "lording" and sheer blackmail.

I personally think Cusack is very bland. Oh well

AAA showed his true acting skills in OZ. Didnt hurt that he spoke Yoruba in some of the episodes as well . He's pretty much everyone's favorite prison on the show and Lost gained MORE popularity when he joined in Season 3.

Prison Break and Oz. Lol the only thing that makes them similar is the location which is within prison and PB sef, 75% is outside prison while OZ is 97% withIN prison. it's pretty graphic and gritty so you might not like it.

Definitely look into Six Feet Under.

Ujujoan:
Paying of Bride Price its just a harmless tradition. I don't see anything wrong in it.

Nobody says the pide price paid is all that matters. Its just a sign of respect to the family of the girl. Remember you don't just go and snatch a girl and run away. She belonged to a family before you came along. A family that cared for her and nutured her. Giving Bride Price dosent mean you are buying the girl, it means you are showing appreciation for all the years her family took care of her.

If this were true, most people wouldnt use this as a tool of obedience. "Remember I paid your brideprice so you haver to do this and that"

It's fading gradually with the newer generation especially those in the diaspora

No it's not.

May the same Shopona ruin that good mood

Claim a new tribe then. Na by force? Olodo

lucabrasi:
prostrating for elders smacks of hypocrisy to me

How so?

If anything that's one tradition I hope the Yorubas never depart from.

Enjoying this one myself

How did I also forget Robert Duvall? Jeez

It's not Yoruba culture. They do it in the "West" too. Some parents have separate account JUST for the expenses of the daughter's wedding. Its showing to the "world" the "level" the daughter is coming from.

Better than bankrupting the dude from the beginning. Let him use his money for the honeymoon and house.

I added him because of OZ, spike, not Lost.

I'm adding John Malkovich to the list. I went and saw The Changeling last night. GREAT movie. I loved it. It was engrossed, teary eyed and Im so not the type to cry at movies. The fact that it's an actual True Life story and not "based on one" definitely made it even more poignant. I usually don't care too much for Angelina but she definitely did an amazing job as Christine Collins. Same way I never thought much of Nicole Kidman and she blew me away in Dogville.

Mad_Max, I think it's weird that you arent enjoying OZ (sincerely yet to meet anyone who doesnt like it ten again I tend to only suggest it to guys) but if it's not really your thing, you should look into 6 Feet Under instead. Awesome show
