She looks good. Make una leave that make-up talk.
As for the single thing, it's mostly due to them being very selective (which isn't a bad thing on its own), but sometimes one ought to be a bit more open-minded.

This used to be my favourite player for decent sound output. I use it with Viper4Android but not anymore.

You should try Musicolet. That's my current favourite

Are there any special settings to use it? Or you just use it how it's downloaded.

Dirty politics everywhere, if u follow Democrat debate very well, u will know Biden is not fit to b d candidate but because he has the support of Obama and Clinton support..

Exactly! The guy lies and misrepresents facts a lot. I no even know if na old age dey cause am for him case. He's hardly assertive sef.

Bernie my Bernie. I really loved him because he always was true to his beliefs convenient or not.
Joe Biden that lies on a per-second billing and only does things when it's popular and convenient is now the democratic party nominee. Okay o!

The one that lied he was arrested in South Africa for supporting Mandela just to win black votes.
Well, in the end the party was looking for a "yes" man and they got a big one in Joe Biden, so it's a victory for them.

I have been doing some research into how to treat this Coronavirus and while doing research and while researching I stumbled into how Coronavirus is spread and i discovered that Coronavirus is classified as norovirus which is spread by contact with droplet and according to my research Coronavirus is similar to norovirus which can stay in surface for many days
I digged deeper and discovered that activated charcoal helps to treat norovirus and it was discovered that an woman who took activated charcoal recovered from norovirus and was symptom free in 24 hours
Activated charcoal if taken enough can prevent safe as we look to find the solution to this ravaging virus and if possible pushed to front page

Good day Craigkoel1989. I would love to reach you over a matter if that's okay by you. Please kindly tell me how to do that, or send me a notifier instead. I can be reached on whatsapp with 07017527485

Okrika/Kalahari/ijaw are living in peace here at Creek road port harcourt

It's called Kalabari and not "Kalahari"

Seun, I think you need to do more research about this virus and listen to the experts.

First of all, everything is secondary when it comes to human lives. Business, economy etc. Human lives are priceless. We cannot gamble with human lives because we want Nairaland or other companies to grow or not lose money.

The use of face masks, according to experts doesn't stop the spread of the virus effectively. How do you even think government can enforce face masks and social distancing? Do you think we have the manpower to station law enforcement officials at every nook and cranny of the society? In market places, football centres etc, is it realistic to practice social distancing effectively?

The whole purpose of the lockdown is not only to minimize the spread of the virus effectively but also to ensure that the medical centers designated for treatment of the virus wouldn't be overwhelmed. If everyone contacts the virus at the same time, people would be dying en masse because we don't have enough medical centers. Despite the lockdown, it is still spreading at a high rate and the numbers are growing, how much worse will it be with the use of only facemasks and everyone is still going about their normal businesses?

The companies creating these test kits, most of what they're developing is still experimental at best and the results aren't 100% correct. Keep in mind that most of these companies are just trying to make quick profit so it would be unreasonable to patronize their products. Imagine someone uses the kit and is tested wrongly, and therefore doesn't self-isolate, wouldn't it keep spreading through such people to others?

Medical experts and scientists some of whom have spent their entire lives studying about viral diseases, its prevention, containment etc have recommended self-isolation/quarantine/lockdown to most governments. It is better to follow their guidelines. Stop imagining solutions you think will work when in reality more knowledgeable people on the subject say it wouldn't.

We cannot prevent untimely death in its entirety but it is important to try to minimize it as much as possible. Anything that's taking lives in a short period of time with reckless abandon and spreads like wildfire should not be taken lightly and extreme precautions are necessary.

Having said all this, the main question that should be asked is why the government isn't doing more to sustain poor folks at home. Even if the government says that it doesn't have the means to take care of all its poor citizens, many individuals and companies have donated. If the govt asks for help from foreign countries, there will surely be lots of donations, why are they not making the funds available to the common man during this isolation period? The US made funds available to most citizens earning below $75,000. Our daft governors are sharing eba and soup (which will digest in two hours) when there are better avenues like sending money to the accounts of low earners through their BVN. Asking these questions should be your focus, not undermining the recommendations of renowned medical experts.

Both the lockdown and taking protective measures outside compromises human lives in a poor country. Nigerians will die if the lockdown lasts for months, combined with an astronomical spike in robberies and petty stealing. People will be malnourished and suffer unimaginable hardship if this lockdown should drag on for long in a country as poor as Nigeria; where some people live on day-to-day earnings. Some will rather the virus affects them on a full stomach than pass through excruciating suffering and eventual death (should the lockdown continue). Seun is making a whole lot of sense.
One month into this lockdown and you'll see what i am saying start coming fully into play. The country was already ravaged with poverty before now, and except respite comes soon (in form of a cure or vaccine), three months is enough for chaos to start erupting everywhere.

This inconsequential fly thinks Lagos is one of those 2 centimetre states that can just easily shut borders. Should lagos lockdown, Nigerian economy halts immediately! Do you know what it means for no local flights, interstate buses to move to-from Lagos? Everything go just spoil.
The governor said they're considering it, but hopefully may it not get to that point else the country's done for! Lagos that virtually all of its food comes from neighbouring states o.

The O.P. is right! CNN has only one english International channel that serves the entire globe. They have local channels that serve the American market, which is their home market, but just one International channel, and that's where these Nigerian companies go to waste their money in the name of "buying international credibility and acclaim."
If you're in Europe, except they have a language version different from english in your country, it's the same CNN we watch in Nigeria that you watch as well.

This one na Airforce1 mentee; with him bottle-burner gas and 2 kitchen pots. Quit it already! Channel this energy towards bettering yourself.
The need for validation is sickening.

nazablossom:
Whether you admit it or not, the guy is a psycho. Do you know what 10 years is? 10 years of somebody's life wasted.

The emotional trauma he has to go through to suck up with the girl everyday planning his "sweet revenge "

This is something he would have done a long time ago and move on with his life.

He destroyed himself as well because no girl in his right mind will marry a man that waited for 10 years to carry out a revenge, except the lady doesn't value her life.

The guy's life will never remain the same even after his revenge.

Leave all those 10 years you dey emphasize. Even if he dated her for 6 months and then did this, you'll still be complaining on her behalf.
Though it might have been excessive time, but any guy that leaves a lady at the alter, don't blame him until you get comprehensive details. There's never a single story to anything.
Maybe he might have even wanted calling the relationship off since, na beg beg dey sustain am. How much longer can that last? No one knows.

XhosaNostra:
I laugh in Latin @ bolded. He better be ready for an epic standoff. I will never budge. Either a guy leads because I don't think I will ever respect someone with a passive approach. Never. I like mine to be go-getters & very traditional. All this sissy new age stuff can miss me.

People should stick to what works for them. I've given girls number and they've called too. Nothing is written in stone.

Mstick:
Oga if you’re running nuts like you claimed you wouldn’t add all the flimsy details about giving your wife money knowing fully well how much it triggers the boys on this forum, after all if you don’t give your wife money who will?

I don’t understand why you need to add the “she practically doesn’t work” part if you really don’t want your wife to be insulted by kids on this forum.

Your sex life is NOT anyone’s business and it’s also not for public consumption so why do you need to add that detail?

If you feel your wife doesn’t love you, don’t you think she’s on the best position to answer that instead of exposing your family to ridiculous advice from never do wells?

"Never do wells" kill you there. You like as oga dey suffer so abi? Aturu!

People here are bringing up instances of male children turning out wayward like it's not females that are prostituting round the whole Nigeria and writing "Hookup Only" on Badoo and Instamessage.
The ones saying she and her husband are ingrates are yet to be completely thankful for eating 3 square meals daily and living in properly sheltered buildings while several millions of people are homeless right in this country. The fact is, complete satisfaction is easier said than done, and no gender has a monopoly of waywardness. Your husband will come around with time; just be patient.
In life, things don't always go the way we want them; however, that isn't enough reason to beat ourselves up. He's just letting off steam. He'll calm down.
Make una slow down on the children though, as having too many isn't a wise decision.

That's what society wants now. Men should be emasculated and effeminate while the "equality" seekers get double standards.
If him stand up and beat the hell out of her now, na monster dem go call am when she's the actual monster.

"Count yourself lucky" kee you there. Something like a love gift that is supposed to be an appreciation mechanism to praise the attributes of your partner and thank them for being in your life to make them feel loved, naim u carry dey hype yourself again. No be even say na better thing, Ontop Porpo calculator. This wan na miss road.

Romeo3:
I salute you brother. Sorry for your loss. Be strong for your wife.

Now to the topic... The sad truth if the matter is that majority of nairalanders are single and lonely. No pics to post because no partner exists.

Oga, madam OP no even share her own, how she want make others share theirs?
E be like many of una no know say the real attraction of Nairaland is the anonymity it gives. Once everyone starts putting up pictures and all, people can rarely be 100% honest/troll in peace (it helps releases steam whether you like it or not). So if anyone's hoping for couple pictures to litter this thread, na OYO be your name.

Petyprincess:
They shouldn't have disowned her,getting attracted to same sex is something out of their control also,especially when 95 percent of our guys are f**k boys!!

Serial killers and serial rapists shouldn't be punished too, since it's something out of their control.
You might argue that lesbianism isn't the same as rape and murder; but if serial rapists and serial murderers can change, then why can't she change? Don't be deceived; everyone can control themselves if they so desire!

MelesZenawi:
Thought as much.

You must be an N-power or BMC to be easily agitated like this.

I am not the one reviewing your salary.

Na so una go dey talk, but if dem give una form to fill and ask you; "What is your level of understanding of English language," only you go tick "excellent."
There's always room for improvement. Don't get mad.

Babara1994:
Good. Many women don't have sense. They let their senseless and irrational emotions control their actions. And men who can't fight back when attacked by women are fools. If a woman attacks you, beat the hell out if her, if possible hurt her badly. Many men have been stabbed as a result of sheer negligence.
If the man had beaten shit out of her, she wouldn't be facing all these now.

You people like to talk from both sides of your mouth like palm wine drunks. "Real men don't touch women;" "Any man that lays his hands on women is a beast." Now here you are defending the same masculinity that all your fellow females have persuaded society to see as monstrous.
If a man beats a woman in self-defense, who will want to hear that it was self-defense? This same judge will send him to jail!

You did nothing wrong. Forget about the guy and move on with your life young lady.
Anybody wey fit lie blatantly like that deserve to be kept at arm's length. You made the mistake the first time; don't repeat it again.

yeyeosoronga:
Meghan's dad was invited to her wedding, but got embarrassed after it was found out he sold stories to the press about his daughter. Hence he opted not to go, and instead lied he had a heart attack. How convenient.
Meghan's father has always been selling her stories to the press for money. Non of his grandchildren talk to him. All his other children /half siblings to Meghan are all dysfunctional and their own children don't even talk to them.
Thomas Markle definitely has something wrong with him. He has publicly ridiculed his daughter because of financial gains. I don't blame her one bit for wanting nothing to do with him.
He sent her to private school, and so what? That's his duty as a parent. I'm sure you will also send your children to private school if you can afford it. Many Nigerian parents already do anyway. She doesn't owe her life to him because of that.

No one owes you their life because you did your job. That's exactly what i'm saying. No need tying excuses for children abandoning their dad to not caring.
If you do everything on earth for them, and you disagree with some of their decisions, dem ready cut you off totally too. A mum who is a junkie has more chances of retaining the love of her children, especially daughters, than the average dad.

Joshmodest:
The children in question are adults they may have thier reasons , whether acceptable or not ...
BTW men should learn to care for thier children , gone are those days when you let your wife suffer to take care of the kids , and you tell yourself , that the children would come to look for you in the future after they are accomplished . Any body tries that with a child like me , you'll be finished , i totally would have nothing to do with you even if you come back yourself to beg ...take care of your kids , cos if you don't , there's always a repercussion you wouldn't like or expect ..
I'm not saying that's what happened in funke's case , I'm just putting this out !

Oga, care all you want for your children, if them wan sideline you, they'll do it without flinching. Megan Markle, the American lady that got married to Prince Harry was a daddy's girl. Even she confessed with her mouth how her father supported her with every small connection he had as a small-time director, fueled her car regularly when she was going for auditions, now he has been estranged. He wasn't even invited to her wedding. It happens everyday.
Men should learn to make provisions for themselves at old age, because it seems like when it comes to this marriage and child-bearing thing, the women always have the upper hand by a mile no matter how much you slave.

All the people shouting "men that met their wives a virgin nko?" "This problem doesn't concern virgins that got married," abeg, make we dey honest with ourselves, how many men dey marry virgins these days?
The guy is 100% right. His method of passing the message might be crude, but he's right. The only girl you can vouch for to a large extent that the baby is yours when married, is a virgin. Even that one sef, assurance no be 100% but it comes quite close.
Always run DNA test on all your kids. It is a must in this dispensation of free sex.

GreetMe:
I think this is to a very high percentage, true!

I've studied their behavior, alpha males online, "nkechi pls na" or something else offline

And you think the girls are not "independent feminists" online, but "6 boyfriends all contributing to my lifestyle because i have to slay" offline?
The girls are promiscuous and materialistic, the guys cheat and unnecessarily bash women. Both parties are guilty.

Likely western propaganda. They'll use their press to blow up the new and others will join based on the "crowd mentality" thing.

LilMissFavvy:
How many husbands continue to look good/hot far into marriage? The answer is few, very few, yet their wives still loves them, and are faithful. Why can't the men reciprocate same? That woman who you think is ugly can get a young fresh guy to service her far better than her husband, but she prefers to be faithful.

A man's looks and attractiveness is his success and wealth, and more often than not, he gets richer with time; whether he is married or not.
Doubt me? go find out how many young guys, even with their good looks, are being rejected on a regular basis by girls, with the excuse that "you're broke, go and hustle. You can't take care of me or foot my bills"
No one ditches females because they're broke; they ditch them generally when they are unattractive, and prefer younger and fresher girls.
Even the sugar daughter is with the man because of his money, maybe good sex too, and the luxuries she can buy with it. So looks or not, oga is fine!

Do not give in. You considering it and asking for suggestions mean you are willing to compromise for her sake if you are made to see reason, and that's a good thing in a relationship and in marriage. However, the same cannot be said of her. Make sure you think long and hard about this relationship.
Once a partner starts off a potential marriage by handing out ultimatums like this, then you should be wary of what's to come. I wonder how you wan take lead the home you wan form if you start on the wrong foot.

doggedfighter:
Ehyaa the sarcasm flew over your head

No mind me, na sleep eye . Just saw he was referring to his account number.
I was just pissed at the level of entitlement and "scumbaggery" the chic was exhibiting.
