May her soul rest in peace.

It's funny seeing this. I just wrote something about thus wedding of a thing titled: Letter to my future wife. You can check it in the Family section.

suso:
OP...
YOU TRY ooo,

TO GIVE YOU MY SISTER DEY HUNGRY ME

Hope una no go pressurise her to do white wedding o. Lol

Dear Future Wife,
I really don't know where to start cos there's a whole lot I want to pen down and it seems like there won't be place for pleasantries. Then again, it's my Missing Rib I'm addressing the letter to, how could I write without pleasantries? I mean, what loving husband does that, right? Besides, what would these spies reading your letter think of me?
So, how's my Angel doing? I miss you already - your smile, charm, those little spats, your cooking and the other things that go with marriage life. I hope everyday you wake up, every step you take leads you in the right direction towards achieving your set goals in life. Kudos if that's the case; if not, please redirect your steps. How are my in-laws doing? I presume they're doing great, hail and hearty. Extend my regards to them.
I'm writing you because there are some issues I need you to be aware of even before we finally meet. There are quite a lot of them but I'll pick just one - the WEDDING CEREMONY. I chose this not because it's the most important or most delicate, nah. It's just a ceremony. Rather, I chose it because there'd be no point discussing it after we've been pronounced Hubby and Wifey.
Dear Future Wife, I love you so much - believe me. If it were not so, I would have told you. As a matter of fact, that's one of the numerous reasons we get to be together. But you see that wedding ceremony called WHITE WEDDING aka WEDDING SOLEMNISATION, the SECOND MARRIAGE CEREMONY (SMC) that is commonly practised, I have no plans on engaging in that. I'm not saying I won't meet your parents or do all that is required of a suitor, I will. I'll pay the bride price, perform almost all (if not all) the marriage rights acceptable by your culture. I strongly believe that as a Christian and an African, the marriage ceremony validates our union. I see no reason why we should gather people days later (months in some cases) in the name of WEDDING SOLEMNISATION or the SMC.
Among the numerous reasons why we shouldn't go on with the SMC, here are a few.
1. IT IS A BORROWED CULTURE
Movies, video clips, books and a little research have shown that it is the marriage ceremony of the English and Americans. It is their own version of our Traditional Marriage Ceremony. Why perform two different marriage rights? Why say "I do" twice, like we didn't get you the first time? Why have the SMC like the first one was child's play? The insidious effect of the SMC is stealing all the glitz and glamour, riches, respect and show of our Traditional Marriages. We tend to pay more attention, respect and spend more on the SMC. This is not good for our culture. What's the need of an SMC? Is it rational?
2. IT IS A WASTE OF TIME, ENERGY AND RESOURCES
After the Traditional Marriage (TM), we sure as hell would be exhausted. Why begin preparation for the SMC when we should be resting or consummating our marriage? Why spend money and resources (SMCs are usually big budget projects no matter how low key the ceremony may seem to be) when we could start a better project with them? If our parents decide that they want to sponsor the SMC, we will ask them to direct the funds to the TM. Nothing spoil if we give out iPhones and TV sets as souvenir for the TM. So, why waste time, energy and resources? Is it rational?
3. WE'D BE DECEIVING OURSELVES (HOST AND GUEST)
When I attend SMCs and that statement is made, the one that ends with, ". . . or forever remain silent", I just wonder who is deceiving who. There was no objection when he went to see her parents, when he fulfilled all the marriage rights, not even when they feed themselves and kissed during the TM; you now think someone would just stand up, speak up, shut up and sit down, which then results in the annulment of the marriage. Is that what we think? I laugh in Ibibio. I don't even want to talk much about it. The whole SMC thing seems to me like a scripted play. I see no reason why I should invite people, perform for them and in the end feed them. Come on, Nollywood still de available.
Another funny statement I hear is usually from the Compere. "Let's watch as she performs her first duty of feeding the groom". Uhmm sorry, she feed him at the TM and that dance you called "their first dance" is actually their seventh dance. They danced about six times at the TM. Now I ask, Wifey, should we deceive ourselves and the guests in like manner? Is it rational?
4. WHATEVER REMINISCENCE YOU WANT TO HAVE ABOUT SMC CAN BE CREATED AT THE TM.
What are those lovely memories you'd love to create at the SMC, tell me during the marriage plans and I'll see to it that we create them during the TM - simple! Why the need for an SMC to have/crate an EPIC ceremony? Is it rational?
5. YOU DON'T GET TO HURT PEOPLE'S FEELINGS, BE HURT OR MAKE ENEMIES OF YOUR GUESTS.
My love, my Siseko, the only champagne in my glass, the only channel in my decoder, let's think this through. There's the possibility of a guest not being served food or drink, only toothpick. There's the possibility of making an enemy of someone because he/she wasn't given a souvenir at a wedding. There are quite a lot of scenarios that could play out resulting to hard feelings at a wedding ceremony (TM or SMC) - host or/and guest. Why double the chance of such an occurrence? "Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof". Why cause additional wahala? Is it rational?
Let me stop here since I planned on mentioning only a few. I hope you see reasons why we shouldn't think of SMC. I know you're learned, you've been taught to be rational in thoughts, words and actions; for that, I believe you buy my idea on the irrelevance of SMC.
I'm telling you this before hand so you don't allow family, friends or even society pressure you into having an SMC when you already know my (your future husband) stands on it. Remember, it's us against the world.
Be reminded though, that I won't love you any less if you succeed in arm-twisting me into having an SMC but rest assured that my love and respect for you is bound to increase exponentially if we skip the SMC.
I have to stop here now my Sherikoko. I hope to write you a couple more letters before we meet. I'm not promising though but I'll do my best to write you more often. Until then, keep being you - Big, Bold and Beautiful.

Kunlegzy:
you will always encountered that problem using freedom but anyway I have latest freedom in my thread if you insist

I don't need the freedom, I need to rectify my Google play store ish.

Chibzee2:
nothing, just make sure that freedom, the app is running in the background, and all your apps including the playstore will work

Pls explain more. I've already deleted the app.

Nigerians, this is Rashidi Yekini. The greatest football Striker the Nigerian senior football team has ever had.

He worked so hard to put Nigerian football on the map. He never rejected National call ups, he never discriminated against any National team player. He played every match he was invited for, and with any group of players.

Yekini single handedly qualified us for our first world cup. He brought joy to the hearts of many Nigerians and succour to us during many trying moments.

Yekini scored our first world cup goal, he won a Nations cup for us. Before then he won 3 Nations cup silver and one bronze for us. Oh, the Yekingly, the goalsfather who won highest goal scorer in the Nigerian league 3 times, in Ivory Coast, in Portugal. He scored goals for Nigeria at the Nations Cup in 84, 88, scored highest goals in 90,92 and 94. What a player,what a man.

Yekini died frustrated in 2012 after giving the better part of his life to this Country. He was forgotten and despised.

Today is the anniversary of Yekini's death, even though the NFF and his former teammates don't remember this great Nigerian anymore, how about us ordinary Nigerians? Have we forgotten the gangly Yekini so soon Have we forgotten the joy he brought to us? His fights for us? His humility and long suffering?

Ladies and Gentlemen, let's celebrate Rashidi Yekini!!! Celebrate him, celebrate him, celebrate him!!!!

olapluto:

1. Sex is between a man and a woman, with a penis in a
vagina
Where does that leave people who are intersex, homosexual
or transgender? Or those who don't like penetration? Or
those who only practice anal or MouthAction? Are lesbians not
having sex when they get each other off?
Think of 'sex' as an umbrella term for all the consensual
sexy acts that get you hot and bothered with someone else
– or yourself.
Maybe people are uncomfortable thinking of 'real sex' as
anything but PIV (penis in vagina) sex, because considering
'sex' as an inclusive term raises guilty feels about when you
first experienced sex or lost your ‘virginity’. Which brings
me to…
2. Virginity is a thing
Is virginity a conceptual or a physical actuality?
If the latter, then anything can 'take' your virginity, including
a tampon or a jump in the pool. Also, nothing ‘breaks’ your
hymen, because this little membrane doesn’t totally cover
the entrance to your vagina.
Your vagina isn't a Pringles can that you pop (although
once you pop, you might not want to stop). If it’s a
concept, then when do you 'lose' your virginity? The
dictionary will say something like: you lose your virginity
when you practise sexual intercourse for the first time.
If sex is an umbrella term and/or you don’t practice PIV
sex, do you remain a virgin regardless of all the crazy kinky
sex shit you get up to? Are you still a virgin if you've only
ever practised mutual masturbation and anal or MouthAction?
3. First time sex hurts
Any penetrative sex hurts whenever you’re not ready and
you’re expecting the worst. Your body clams up, your vagina
clams up, in many cases your vaginal lubrication will dry up
and the friction will hurt. But it doesn't have to hurt.
I'm not saying it won’t maybe be weird and uncomfortable,
but pain doesn't have to happen. It’s not an inherent
feature in your first penetrative experience.
4. pre-intimacy is for her, men are always 'on'
The shtick we’re told over and over again is that women
need more pre-intimacy than men and men are always ready. If
you’re going to accept that ‘sex’ is a bunch of different
sexual acts, what is pre-intimacy?
The story we’re told about pre-intimacy is: To 'get her ready for
sex' practice some MouthAction or lick her nipples … then when
she is ready for penetration you can have sex with her.
There is pre-intimacy and then there is sex.' But all that
'pre-intimacy' stuff is really just sex and you’re either ready for
it or you’re not. You either need slow sex and a longer build
up or you can get off on a quickie.
If you want to talk about pre-intimacy, then talk about the
chemistry you and your guy have and work on as part of
your relationship culture – the intimacy you generate
throughout the day in your conversations, your displays of
affection and how you invest time in each other.
5. Men want sex, women want emotional connection
This is an incredibly old model, one that is sexist, old-
fashioned and stupid. It’s the Men Are From Mars, Women
Are From Venus paradigm.
My paradigm is: Humans are from Earth, like to socialize,
generally like to copulate, want to be accepted and have
feelings. We have been socialized to believe that men and
women are so fundamentally different that we forget the
humanity underpinning it all.
6. Great sex comes naturally
Great sex is like learning how to cook. Everyone can eat
food, just like everyone can bump genitals together. But
while some people will be content to eat an apple, others
will learn how to make the finest French apple tart and
serve it with dollops of clotted cream and sugared
strawberries.
Being a good lover depends mostly on stuff that has nothing
to do with your genitals, including self-knowledge, being
able to communicate clearly, being open to exploring and
being generous with your time and attention – and learning
some skills.
Unfortunately, when most of us are presented with our first
lovers (usually at a very young age, see above 'Sex is
between a vagina and penis') our experience is of chomping
on a plain apple when we were expecting the French apple
tart. Sadly, this can easily colour one’s experience of sex
and desire, and label the whole fiasco as less than
satisfactory fact forever and always.
7. Everybody likes sex, right?
Well no. Some people really don’t. Maybe it’s due to some
trauma or bad early experiences with intimacy and sex.
Maybe sex just isn't that much of a priority. But there are
also asexual people who just literally do not feel sexual
attraction or desire.
It doesn't mean they don’t fall in love, need or want
physical tenderness or have successful relationships; they
just don’t feel the lusty pull of desire on their loins.
8. Your number matters.
No it doesn't. Simple as that. Quantity means as little to
your morality as it does to your prowess as a lover. The
only purpose someone’s judgement and shaming serves
around the number of men and women I've been with, is as
an accurate measure of their friend and/or partner viability
in my life.
Save yourself a lot of time by not taking responsibility for
someone else’s issues when they have a problem with your
'number'.
9. Sex is about orgasm
Another product of the goal-driven society. Orgasm is great,
no one is denying that. But it is not the only pleasure we
derive from physical intimacy with each other. Loving and/
or enjoyable skin-to-skin interaction sets off a chemical
reaction in the body that releases a lot of happy hormones
that go a long way to build affection and bonding.
10. Men reach their sexual prime when they’re 18, women
when they’re 35.
I'm going use the scientific term for this: Rubbish. This
myth unfolded from very old, socially dated research from
the Kinsey data.
What is now being posited is genital prime and sexual
prime. The former is driven by biological factors (hormones,
health and so on) and the latter social factors (your
experience, maturity and general joie de vivre).
Sexual anthropologist Bella Ellwood-Clayton writes about
this in her book ‘Sex Drive’ and says: ‘Female desire can be
peaking all along, ebbing and flowing throughout the life
course.’

I don't care the order in which they follow but a perfect date should include the following:
- Chats
- Cuddling
- Food and drinks
- Quiet time
- Sex (in some cases)





















End of story

Crixina: This is what I call a perfect date.

But this only happens in fairy tales

thank God you know. We see it as the perfect date cos that's what movies have made us to believe.

fatdon2: I like to start with a nice dinner in a
good restaurant with good
ambiance . During the meal I like to
have a nice bottle of wine and good
conversation . After dinner a long
walk and I like to hold hands . If the date goes well , I like to invite my date
back to my place and I always put a
bottle of wine in to chill before I
leave so it will be ready when I get
home . We have some good wine and
good conversation relax a few kisses and some cuddling . I also like good
background music , I always ask my
date to pick the music . Then I will
take her home or she may wish to stay .
I leave that up to her and no
pressure . If the date was good then we are on our way to a second date
