Omeokachie:
But when she was mounting the podium across the nation mobilising and campaining for you you did not give her that advice!

The lame attempt by this president to paper over the cracks which his unpresidential remark has done to the psyche of the nigerian woman is nauseating.
Thank you for this comment.

Dear diary, my day…well I guess it turned out ok. I mean work was hectic as usual and Mrs. Nedo on my neck as usual... with her little high pitched voice she uses when she’s trying to get me to do something that isn’t exactly work related but I don’t have any choice doing because she is my boss. And the worst part is she thinks she is so… nice comparing herself with Mr. Maiza the head of heads of departments. Anyway now to the highlight of the day… Well I wouldn’t exactly call it that, since it happened in the evening.
I stopped by Tantalizers to eat because well I knew there wouldn’t be food in the house, I mean you can’t have Chioma as a roomie and still expect to have morning leftover food still in the refrigerator when you get back. So anyway, remember that office dinner I told you about, you know the one that happened about two months ago. Yes that one, well, as I was on my way out, after eating, I met this guy said his name was Tony. He didn’t actually know my name, he just recognised me from the dinner, and apparently he had been longing to meet me again. He said I was kind of busy that day (all thanks too madam high tone). Anyway we talked for a little while till I got to my bus stop, he dropped me there and mehn! Am I glad?!! I could really use the cash. So anyway and that was that. He just said “ok…so see you around”, he didn’t ask for my number which was kind of odd, plus he doesn’t exactly know where I live, but anyway…Yawns! I’ve got to sleep now had a really long day (rolling my eyes)…thank God it’s FRIDAY!!! Goodnight.

11:45am
So I just finished my Saturday morning chores. Nothing else to do really… well not exactly I still have to finish up my next weekend’s “Ask Amanda column”. It used to be called “talk to Nedo” but when she got promoted, the workload was too much, she barely had time. Anyways after covering for so long, the reviews were good so it became “Ask Amanda” instead. It appears there are a lot of people in this country with issues.
Here’s one
“Hey Amanda, love your column, see I have this problem… I like two guys. One is rich and responsible, he is from my tribe too (family approved) and the other is comfortable not as rich as the other guy but he is not from my tribe so not family approved, but he is the guy I really like, what should I do? I mean, they are both proposing marriage?”
Anonymous.
Well at least she has a personal life… look at me diary, I’ve not had a boyfriend since I can remember, with my parents always trying to fix me up with some guy… it’s just work, work and more work...Thank God INSIGHT is a weekly magazine. I don’t know what I’d do if I was working in a newspaper company.
You know what diary; I think I’m going to go to that wedding, you know, the one Vicky invited me to. Yeah that one that I have absolutely no idea whose wedding it is. I’ve decided to put myself out there, I mean I’m not going to find my Mister Right just sitting in this house giving anonymous lady advice on whom to marry.

12:10
Wow I really should start getting ready if I’m going to that wedding and of course call Vicky. I’m hungry! I haven’t even had breakfast. Ok! Got to go…write on you later.
23:55
Dee Dee I had a blast!!! The wedding was wonderful! I mean the reception… Rice and stew very plenty… but important of all was everything was so beautiful, the bride, the groom, the arena, I started thinking about wanting to get married myself; yeah you know how weddings are? I’m sure my mum would be glad to read that.
Also yours truly, moi, gave a few digits myself…hmm don’t you see the silver lining? I thought I saw Tony or someone that looked like him… I guess I’ve been thinking about him a lot lately that I’m beginning to see things…
My joints hurt! Really tired! After the wedding Vicky and I went on a little escapade of our own…ll I can say is I had a blast! Oh I said that already! Anyway yawns! Got to sleep now. Goodnight.

Just had lunch. Saw Tony in church! Yep! Turns out we go to the same church. I knew he looked kind off familiar and this time he took my number. If I had attended my usual 6:30am mass, we would have missed each other, thanks to the wedding I woke up late today and couldn’t make it.
After mass as usual, was heading straight home, when he called my name. I saw him talking to a lady; she was lobbying him to join a society in the church… St. Vincent de Paul society… they are all about helping the poor and needy. We agreed to join together, he said to his friend and I quote ‘I’m only joining if you are’ and he was talking to me! Meeting is Sunday afternoon by 2:00pm, but I took today off. Still haven’t finished my Ask Amanda column plus I would just like to rest, you know stay indoors, somehow that sounds like so much fun right now. We talked for a little while longer before we went our separate ways. Ok, have work to do. Later.

RomanceRe: 17 Things Ladies Should Know Before,during And After Relationships Cycle by katniss(f): 2:46pm On Aug 12, 2016
sdeensquare:
1. If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away. If he doesn't want you, nothing can
make him stay. Stop making excuses for a man and his behavior.
2. Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from heartache. Stop trying to change yourself for a relationship that's not meant to be. Slower is better.
3. Never live your life for a man before you find what makes you truly happy. If a relationship ends because the man was not treating you as you deserve then hell no, you can't "be friends". A friend wouldn't mistreat a friend.
4. Don't settle. If you feel like he is stringing you along, then he probably is, don't stay because you think "it will get better"You'll be mad at yourself later for staying when things are not better.
5.The only person you can control in a relationship is you. Avoid men who've got a bunch of children by a bunch of different women. He didn't marry them when he got them pregnant, why would he treat you any differently?
6.Always have your own set of friends separate from his.
7.Maintain boundaries in how a guy treats you. If something bothers you, speak up. Never let a man know everything.* He will use it against you later.
8. You cannot change a man's behavior.* Change comes from within.
9. Don't EVER make him feel he is more important than you are...Even if he has more education or in a better job, do
not make him into a quasi-god. He is a man, nothing more nothing less.
10. Never borrow someone Else's man. If he cheated with you, he'll cheat on you. A man will only treat you the way you ALLOW him to treat you.
11. All men are NOT dogs. You should not be the one doing all the bending... Compromise is two way street.
12. You need time to heal between relationships.. There is nothing cute about baggage...Deal with your issues before pursuing a new relationship.
13. You should never look for someone to COMPLETE you...A relationship consists of two WHOLE individuals...Look for
someone complimentary.. .not supplementary.
14. Dating is fun...even if he doesn't turn out to be Mr. Right. Make him miss you
sometimes...when a man always know
where you are, and you're always readily available to him - he takes it for granted
15. Never move into his mother's house. Never co-sign for a man. Don't
fully commit to a man who doesn't give you everything that you need.*Keep him in your radar but get to know others.
16. Scared of being alone is what makes a lot of women stay in relationships that are abusive or hurtful: Dr. Phil says You should know that: You're the best thing that
could ever happen to anyone and if a man mistreats you, he'll miss out on a good thing. If he was attracted to you in the 1st place, just know that he's not the only one. They're all watching you, so you have a lot of choices. Make the right one.
17.Ladies take care of your own hearts.... Share this with other women and men (just so they know)... You'll make someone smile, another rethink her choices, and another woman prepare. Wake up ..............

TV/MoviesRe: 6 Telenovelas Every Nigerian Born In The 90s Will Remember by katniss(f): 2:48am On Jul 11, 2016
missKiffy:
Nigerians have been watching TV since forever. It started with local shows down to the foreign ones, we watched them all.
Before the advent of Zee World and Telemundo, we watched the telenovelas and followed up on the stories.

Telenovelas are different from US-style soap opera in that they rarely continue for more than a year. This makes them shorter than soap opera, but still much longer than serials

It was such an addiction that we even bought books that summarised the episodes for times when we missed the episodes due to NEPA or something. Good old days!

Here are some of the amazing telenovelas that kept us glued to our seats then.

1. Secrets of the Sand
Secrets of the Sand was Brazillian and was originally released in 1993. It told the story of twin sisters, Ruth and Rachel. A rich man falls in love with Ruth who truly loves him too, but he gets involved with Rachel, who’s after his wealth.

NYSCRe: NYSC Allowances In 26 States Across Nigeria by katniss(f): 6:56pm On Jun 29, 2016
Seuncoded:
In Nigeria, every year fresh graduates travel across the nation to different states in a scheme called National Youth Service Corps popularly called NYSC.

The NYSC scheme was an initiative of the Yakubu Gowon military regime in 1973 to reconstruct, reconcile and rebuild the country after the Nigerian Civil war.

While many Nigerians have called on successive governments to scrap the scheme as they say it has outlived its usefulness, many others have asked that the scheme should be retained.

Youth corp members working on road signs in Abuja recently
After three weeks in the camps where they are taken through rigorous physical routine, the corp members are then posted to a place of primary assignment.

Apart from the uniform salary paid to youth corp members nationwide, state governments where the NYSC members are posted also give them some allowances.

In some states, the prices of the NYSC members differ based on their course of study, with medical corp members usually favoured.

We lists the allowances of NYSC members in 26 states across the federation.

1. Abia – N5,000

2. Akwa Ibom state – N10,000

3. Bauchi – N1,250

4. Bayelsa – N3,000

5. Borno – N1,000

6. Cross River – N3,090

7. Delta – N5,000

8. Ebonyi – N15,000

9. Ekiti – N5,000

10. Enugu – N10,000

11. Imo – N2,000

12. Jigawa – N5,000

13. Kaduna – N3,000

14. Kano – N4,000

15. Kwara – 25,000 (medical youth corp members)

16. Lagos – N10,000, N20,000 (medical youth corp members)

17. Nassarawa – N3,000

18. Niger- N6,000

19. Ogun – N5,000

20. Ondo – N75,000 (medical youth corp members)

21. Osun – N5,000

22. Oyo – N4,000

23. Sokoto – N4,000, N9,000 (medical youth corp members)

24. Taraba – N10,000

25. Yobe – N2,500

26. Zamfara -N3,000

NB: Please note that some of these figures are temporary and are usually changed by the governments

RomanceComedian Alibaba Shared This Interesting Relationship Story On His IG Page by katniss(op): 8:39pm On Apr 18, 2016
Comedian Alibaba shared this story on Instagram about a lady who thought her boyfriend impregnated another lady which she later found out wasn't true. This was after she had cursed and assaulted him and even smashed the mirror of his G-Wagon. Nairalanders what do you think?


"I don't know how to advise my guy... He says I should help him ask without adding any names. "What if she reads the postings online? I asked him.
"Then she will know if I am right or wrong to have packed her out of my flat and ended the relationship".
Please note, if you have no advice to give don't comment. Insults will be deleted. Please read the chats before commenting.
Don't be asking me what the guy did. She said it all there. To make this clearer, her friends told her that her Bobo was responsible for impregnating a lady. So she went gaga. Then found out it was not her Bobo. At which time, she had been thrown out and she then realized that the girls who claimed to be protecting her from getting hurt (which may be true) did not investigate properly.
So things became bad. And got worse when she broke the driver side glass of his Gwagon with a flower pot. Now it had become clear he wasn't the person responsible.
Those friends have apologized that they "thought he was the one"... That is the root of all this apology. My Guy's argument is if she had a gun and shot him that night, what will these apologies be forhuh?

RomanceRe: 6 Signs A Lady Want To Sleep With You When She Comes Visiting by katniss(f): 6:24pm On Apr 18, 2016
Hadez:
Guys are not only guilty about this, sometimes we ladies really feel the urge to be alone and get down with someone we have a crush on. OK enough said lipsrsealed

I know some people might take me as a bad girl but I don't care. I am going to state the fact and hey I am here to have fun smiley


1. She comes to your house with a short skirt or a short gown: some guys don't seem to understand the signs though. The thing is we ladies are very conscious of what we were, so coming to your house looking like a hot model is a cue wink

2. She lays her had on your shoulders or laps: this is a very popular trick we use but some guys are too quick to start kissing and pressing... This is not cool, it makes us uneasy and we change our mind. Why don't put just take it slow and wait for the right moment then you see we actually repaired for this before coming wink

3. Telling you we want to sleep and you shouldn't disturb: let me tell you a secret guy, no girl I repeat no girl will ever come to your house if she feels she is tired and will not enjoy herself when she comes (trust me)

4. Saying she will be leaving in an hour time: we are actually telling you to make a move but someone guys don't get it. Instead they will be begging us to stay a little longer. Durr if I have somewhere else to go that evening, do you think I will come and spend time in your house? undecided

5. We loose off some buttons on our shirt: we want you to feel aroused and make a move but instead you will dip your hands in your pocket and probably start going out and coming in. Then you will be forming bad guy later grin

6. We tell you to play a song and we start dancing: if I am dancing in your room, I expect you to join me then along the link you rock me then you know what next to do. But most of you don't even know how to Dance it is frustrating angry

No part of this work should be reproduced in any form without prior permission from the author.



And so, my cousins, Chiemena and Chiemerie and I just got back from the Nmowu (Masquerade Festival) at the central football stadium in the village. We had so much fun that we couldn’t stop talking about it on our way ‘home’. You see, My Dad and their dad are brothers and to make coming ‘home’ to the village more family oriented, they decided to build a big house with seven rooms together, instead of having separate houses. As we got home, the unpainted home looked empty and Chimena couldn’t stop talking about how ‘haunted’ the house was. It looked a little haunted though especially as the house was not yet painted; only plastered. We all decided to stay in a room and continue our gist about the masquerade festival, school and any other thing that comes to mind, until the others (My parents, my uncle and aunt, and our aunt, Our Dads’ sister) came back from their outing. While we were talking, we all heard a door close, I thought it was just breeze, but Chiemena said if it was just breeze, then he’d really believe the house was haunted’, to buttress his ‘haunted’ argument. Chiemerie, his twin sister, concurred with him, saying that the door slams was too strategic to be just breeze. We decided to ignore the door slam, but then we heard another door open and close.
‘Whose there?’ we shouted in unison, but no reply, instead, we heard footsteps.
‘Whose there?’ we shouted again, this time partly intrigued and partly scared (although none of us would admit the second part) but still no reply.
While Chiemena and I were still being chickens about going to check or see who it was, Chiemerie decided to go check, she closed the door to the room behind her as she left and didn’t return five minutes later. We began to shout her name but no reply. Five minutes to ten minutes later, we began to hear ‘chopping’ noise downstairs. Chiemena and I then decided to go together to go rescue Chiemerie thinking some village maniac might be chopping or getting ready to chop her.
We climbed down the stairs and noticing the sound was coming from the kitchen. We proceeded towards the kitchen only to see Chiemerie and our aunty cooking, Chiemerie was busy chopping veggies on the chopping board. Chiemerie tells us she came down only to discover it was Aunt Nkiru but Aunt Nkiru was on earpiece so she wasn’t able to hear us call out.
‘What about when we called your name?’ I asked Chiemena.
‘I didn’t feel like answering and Aunt Nkiru decided we play a trick on you guys, so you’ll think the ghost captured me’ she laughed sarcastically as she made the ‘uhhhhhhhh’ ghostly sound.
‘Not funny’, I told her
‘Not funny’ Chiemena concurred.
But Chiemerie and Aunt Nkiru laughed on anyway.
