I could provide some vulture meat recipes. Very tasty stuff, I mean vulture pepersoup, if you prepare it like dog meat pepersoup

Do they need to probe to see the empty laboratories and dilapidated class rooms? I have seen results of some expensive but fully equipped private schools and they looked excellent. I tend to believe the few good results came from there leaving the kids of the masses with the long list of terrible results.

Poster,

Contact people in the village to find you a wife if you can't see any good girl after 27 years in Lagos. NL is a cool place but we are all hiding our faces. Most of the ladies here are old mothers and near grandmothers just out catching fun so,

To be a man na waooooh. Listen to this song. Maybe that is why you don't like being male. This is exactly the type of complex problems kids get into when mama is not there with a big cane to ensure we act with sense.

I suggest serious prayers with fasting and deliverance. You can see we are all clueless on NL.

is there a thread on what we hate about nigerian men and there are too many things on the list? who thinks up these yeye topics? i think i'm off to facebook now to hold some decent conversations.

Threadi nka amagbuo onwe ya, tata bu mbu mu n'ahu ya. Igbo ndi oma chineke gozie unu dum. Odi ka obu anyi juru NL?

UBIAM is not good at all. See these boys are already plotting to run to ala Yoruba for wives. Ewuuuuu. Anyway goodluck to you all. I rather like that. It is a good idea if you are too stingy and unable to play the intricate game associated with marriage rites in ala Igbo and Ndi ofe mmiri.

My money is always in fixed deposit or inside the ceiling in my house. That is the only way to keep it safe.

Eldee,
I am for equality in this matter. My people collected #2500 and spent mant times that sending me off. So who owes who now? Forget it. No amount of anger will change this trend. Whoever genuinely complained about this? It is something people just get angry about after a few beers.

It is not always good to condemn the past and lump all forms of tradition together. You are talking about a girl someone slaved around for 25years! Whether you pay #10 or a million naira is all the same to me. Did you ever hear that someone couldn't marry due to bride price? It only happens in badly-scripted films and in beer parlour talk.

There is a very carefully planned way of ensuring that someone pays what he can afford in every community. Ask questions before you jump into conclusions or wait until you are old enough to comment on this matter.

eldee,

No amount of abuse from you will change my views on the matter. Wait until you get a daughter and let her walk away with someone without a proper traditional send off. Men rage over this matter until it is the turn of their daughter to leave the house.

How much is enough or too much? It will still be a token even if you expend a billion naira!

@Poster

I am sure the poster is yet to get a daughter and if he has, she is not yet in primary school not to talk of university. No amount charged is too much. Those traditions are meant to ensure that entry and exit from marriage will be very hard. Check those tribes that give out women without much ado and you will notice that exit is also very easy.

I am not even happy with my own community because the highest you pay is #1500 and a list that #60,000 can take care of. I will then proceed to expend over a million naira on buying a car and other finery for the dowry.  I am plotting a way of crafting a more reasonable list for my two very beautiful daughters. The community list reads like my girls' provision lists when they are returning to school. verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry unfair.

Why are the kidnappers this impatient? They won't even exercise patience for the man to become governor before striking.

Do they want the blood of a poor old man on their heads? This is a sad way of proving any point. Let them get their hands on Soludo(jnr) if they have issues with him.

It will be enough if the family survives on pure water only. Insist on an increment if he can afford that. Do not let any man make you suffer unduly. Not good at all.

Fashola is gradually alienating people. His policies and goons have chased many companies to Ota. He had better watch it.

Banks should stop pilfering our money by way of spurious charges. Also they should give loans to small businesses. I want my fixed deposit liquidated when I say so and hate anyone rolling it over without my express consent. The money in the fixed deposit is mine and so when I want it it has to be given back to me with courtesy and not after almost fighting with the account officer.

The cost of his treatment is so high he can only afford it as a president. He won't attempt resigning.

use facebook. Do we sound like mormons?

Faith Academy belongs to Winner's Chapel.

What's the use eating it and living for a million years when everyone will be keeping away from you due to the stench?

I head to NL more because no one knows me there. I am just Madam L, good for me that way. It is easier to express oneself here. Facebook is boring, I only use it to connect with all my old friends and schoolmates and there we bore each other and discuss in serious tones.

Let me get this clear.
You love your wife and you had been away from her for a long period of time, and naturally one would expect you would bed down with her as soon as you guys re-united. So how the hell can you say you did not realise that she was 5 months pregnant?

i'm not a girl and all that, but at 5 months + pregnancy is usually pretty visible. Taking a pregnancy test at 7 months?

I'm not buying this cock and bull story

YOU ARE TRULY NOT A GIRL.First pregnancies could be concealed forever. Some of the time, they start showing shortly before delivery.

Who is that bushman suggesting a beating? Do you want him to commit murder? If he can have the courage to accept the baby, good, if not he can tell her to leave. There are many men in the world living knowingly or unknowingly with other people's kids calling them 'daddy'.[/b]

My governor  Elechi of Ebonyi state must rank among the worst. The guy was a commissioner long long long ago when I was a little girl in primary school like before the seond world war. He is so old and far gone now that he sleeps through the executive meetings. Someone help!!!!!

Congrats!!!! I hope this will bring you lots of cash. You are doing well.

If the Lagos stste police will be anything like LASTMA then they will harrass us to death. I often feel safer facing the jungle boys than the many uniformed thugs in Lagos. Good idea to have state police but not the type of xters in LASTMA and KAI.

That means there is no safe place anymore. They listed almost everywhere including long stretches of inter-state highways

So are we in agreement now that the only problem with low cut is that it reduces you age drastically? It is good to look very young but I felt like landing a big slap several times when some boy that is young enough to be my son walks up and starts mouthing some boring love lines.

Shuo!! Is he not looking well? Can't he look into my eyes and read my true age which is fifteen years above his? I plan to try it again soon and put on a no-nonsense look so those little boys will keep off. It sure lends panache to one's looks.

Some men frown though and say only widows can shave hair that low. Is that true?

Go for it girl. Every morning you enjoy the luxury of feeling cold water on your scalp. I carried low cut for years and folks were calling me African Queen, don't mind me jo. I only stopped wearing it because it was causing too much go slow and I was being mistaken for a young girl when I am a real old gal.

Nonsense! I thought we got a permanent seat. This one is useless. It is the turn by turn type of seat; not any deal at all. It is not deserving of front pages.

I have been feeling happy with myself ever since the 'lists' were released. Take away all the bank money and we are all poor in Naija.

No wonder I have been relying more on prayers to survive every illness! Torch ke? What of the gen set?

The solution is to let those of us home people really know how it is over there. Why won't people make all sorts of demands when you send photos of you standing near flashy cars and buildings and not disputing it when they ask whether those belong to you? Why won't home people harass you when at every opportunity you claim you are living in heaven? Even in NL, we are reminded frequently that our lives here are rotten if we live in Naijaland.

Are the diaspora guys too embarrased to let us really know how is it there? Some of us home girls already know but you out there keep denying anything is wrong with the way you live there. Start coming out with the truth which is that life is also not too easy there even though there is light always.

Stand in front of your New York face-me-I-face-you and take photo and send. Also consider snapping photo in that you Sevilla room (with 12 occupants). Let the squalor really show and the calls may reduce. You are the main cause of your problems. OUT WITH THE TRUTH.

So this whole thing has degenerated into inter-tribal war between Igbos and Yorubas? I suspect some individuals who do not feel comfortable with some topics introduce these funny angles to scuttle discussions. I thought the war ended when I was ----years old.

Pity Abiola and his family came to this pretty pass a few years down the line. Who did they say is sitting on his wealth? Did he forget to drop the numbers of some Swiss accounts before dying? But life is funny, who would have thought Abiola's brood will be bickering because of money twelve short years after his death.
