Like in Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart, there is this song. It says if you touch here or there, she says don't touch, but if you touch some specific area, she pretende not to notice,

You may call them boxers or whatever. They are those black or whatever colour tight things worn by women. They look like the shorts worn by cyclists. That is why they are called bikers. And they are not sexy! They are a hindrance

I like buying lingerie for my girlfriends. And I hope they will wear them when on a date. But girls, are putting me off sex.

The girls have developed this habit of wearing bikers. And they then expect us to take them off. And I am told even wives do this!

What is so sexy about bikers?

I don't like them at all.

Unfortunately there are no laws which cannot be broken. In Africa we can hide behind Customary Law, This allows for polygamy. As for polyandry, ie a wife marrying many husbands, I leave this for those who feel comfortable with it. I do not allow it!

Butr a Christian should marry only one wife and stop hiding behind African customs.

As long as he is the father, they are children, just as your father will call you child, whether you are 10 years or 60 You are still a child, according to him. The children have a voice. Since the man is 84, you don't expect all his children to be under 18. The olbest could be in his 60s

A man of his age should not be subjected to such stress. It is not as if he married his wives just the other day. He must have married them over a long period of time, and somebody must have been aware of it. He even sired 170 children with his wives. He could have been prevented from marrying the 5th wife, or the 6th or the 20th or the 50th, but nobody said anything.

Why subject him to this now? I see something fishy here. We should not rule out the possibility of some duplicity between some of the wives and the Islamic clergy. The issue would be the compensation as a result of divorce. Who said the clergy cannot be corrupted? And the women would be greedy.

He may be a Muslim, but he is also an African. African traditions allow a man to marry as many wives as he likes, provided he can take care of them equally.

Has any of the wives complained? Have the children complained? Leave the man alone.

Fair enough. But somebody has said I should try the Calabar girls,

Where can one find the best wife in Africa? Nigerian women are beautiful with a tendency to grow fat as they grow older. They can be bad-tempered too. Ghanaian women are no go, too ugly and dumpy. Congolese girls are good wives, but have a tendency to augment the family income through commercial sex. Ugandan girls are very polite but very poor cooks. Kenyan girls are too bossy and would rather look at your pocket first. Tanzanian girls ate beautiful, good cooks and very polite. And they know how to keep a man at home. They are the best. Somali girls are beasutiful and obedient and loyal, but no sex unless it is for procreation, and Ethiopian girls are beautiful and loyal, but no adventure here; very boring. Apart from Tanzania, where else can one get a good wife?

There is a new trend in Churches nowadays. Usually, churches are for prayer. And for peace. But not anymore.

Churches are better known for fighting. And I mean real fighting, fists, punches, throwing chairs and stones et al.

And why do they fight? Because of leadership. This simply isn't how God wants it to be. Fisticuffs have no place in Church

The English Premier League may be the most popular in the world, but English players are a load of rubbish. The league is popular because of clever marketing and publicity. Besides, with many people who read and speak English, and still have attachment to Englnd, the league will continue to be popular and the English Media will continue to exploit this.

First, look at English football players; they are promoted so much by their Press that we believe them to be the best. But when they are hired to play for other clubs outside England. they flop. They have never succeeded. And yet players from other countries perform well in England and elsewhere, and this includes African players.

The English may have invented football, but the last time they won the world Cup was in 1966 on home ground. They have not even been able to reach the finals.

The English players are better known for their drinking, bar fights and womanising.

In any case, the football clubs are performing well because of the many foreign players playing for them. Remove the foreign players and English football will die.

Rhino, how much was Jesus paying his disciples? When they complained of hunger, what did he tell them?

Ibime, Bawomolo, this is the 21st Century. But the show is usually free and public. No ticket

There is this practise in the Kingdom of Swaziland in Southern Africa. Every year at this time, young girls must parade more or less nude infront of the King so that he may choose his wife. He chooses a new wife every year! The girls are usually in their teens and are expected to be virgins.

And yes, they also have a practise of virginity test. A girl who is a virgin is actually given a certificate. The tests are normally conducted at the main stadium in broad daylight and in the presence of everybody who cares to come and see.

Where are human rights people? Where are the vocal fighters of girls' rights? It is not just femala circumcision we have to fight against. This practise is in Swaziland has no place in modern society.

You will get a lot of advise, some from people with broken marriages, who may even want yours to be broken too. It's your decision.

They started poor, but have made lots of money from poor people.

The actors and actresses are good. That is why they are so popular. I have a whole lot of Nigerian movies and have no intention of giving them away. It is the storylines I am worried about. Why the obssession with witchcraft and Christianity? Mind you, I am a Christian

As they say, you never know what you are missing until you lose it.

Potential for what? Make money of course!

You like the way Michael Jackson looks like? Why do we African think that we are inferior and the only way we can be good is looking white?

There was a research conducted, concerning mobile phones and their effect on family life. It was found that they are a cause of many breakups. Everybody wants to snoop on the other, and this can be dangerous.

While it is accepted that there might be some cheating by some people, both wives and husbands, it was found that in most cases it is just some innocent message, maybe to a workmate or former schoolmate etc. You may even have received such messages yourself before you snooped on your husband.

You be the judge. All these others don't know your husband. You know him best. Just don't jump to conclusions. And please, stop snooping on your husband. Once mistrust gets into your marriage, you have no marriage. Do you want that?

Although I enjoy Nollywood, I am rather disappointed that Nollywood stars think the only way they can appear looking good, is by changing their names from Nigerian, or African origin to English-sounding names. They also bleach themselves!

These are role models to the youth. So what message are they sending to these youths? That it is better to look white and forget your roots? Can't they act well by being African? Actually they look and sound terrible, and are making us a laughing stock.

Problem is not who is pretty and who is not. Just tell all these men and women, that you do not need to change your names into English names only and bleach yourselves to look pretty and act well. Even black and ugly can act just as well, complete with a true African name.

It is not just hospital scenes that need improing. Nollywood is obssessed with witchcraft and Christianily; Christianity yerses witchcraft. If the intention is to turn all Nollywood lovers into Christians, they are way off the mark. If they are telling us that witchcraft is rampart in Nigeria and should be eradicated, then there are other ways. This includes having scenes where witchdoctors are competing against modern medicine and science. Otherwise this obssession with juju is no good.

Just remember, after taking the money, some of the pastors are known to take all the beautiful girls and wives, breaking homes and families.

Yeah, but after spanking then, don't chase them away until you really give them what they are made for.

Congarulations to Nigeria for winning a silver medal in the Olympics. The girls relay team was very lucky to get a bronze,

It is embarrassing and a shame that Nogeria, with close to 150 million people can come up with only a silver and bronze, while Zimbabwe, under that OLD, YOUNG MAN can come up with a gold and silver.

Nigeria needs a rethink in it's sports programmes. Team games such as football bring one medal only. It is in individual area that youy get most medals. Even Cameroon got a gold from just one person. Both Zimbabwe medals came from one person.

Not all Nigerians will be footballers, no matter how glamorous that may be. And not all will be sprinters. With proper plannig and investments, Nigeria can move into other disciplines. In any case, the longer distance races that Kenya and Ethiopia excel in don't need much in terms of sports infrastructure but the the results are there for all to see.

Even Arab countries are now seeing the benefit of the longer races. Why noit Nigeria? Let us see some change today. You have the population, now show us the rest.
