You and Fox split? Ei-yah. And you were such a lovely couple. Hear Pitt and Jolie are splitting too.

obinna5000:
I wonder o!!!   Instead of Perseus being in love with Andromeda, its another female called Lo he fell in love with.

What? Weird plot.

Justkunmi, whassamarrerwid-u? Are you suggesting that for a movie to be reviewed here, YOU must have seen it? Did you or did you not see the titles that have already collected votes? Fox for Brains.

JS, I see the absentee vote for Repo Men and I like it. Haven't seen the thing, but yeah. It has my vote. I'm tired of ooh-ahh movies and want some venomous reviews jere.

@be who u ur
Put yourself in her shoes,man. She's religious and you're not. Do you seriously mean to say you've no idea how conflicted she must be? How on earth can she discuss this with you? She loves you, she's in turmoil about whether she can marry you. You should salute her courage that, as a Christian with her kind of background, she stuck to you even though her FAMILY and PASTOR disapprove. That she sought other people's opinions under anonymity isn't a betrayal in any sense. You're 'hurt' only cos you're seeing this with ME-ME-ME tinted glasses. You can be forgiven that. You're only
human. What is beyond the pale and unreasonable is getting up on some high drama horse and pretending she 'wronged' for asking anonymous advice. It's a non-issue.

@poster
Lady, you're blessed to have found someone whom you love and who loves you. I'm a Christian and though I know no one gets to God without Christ, I no longer believe my faith is the only wayto God or that Christianity has anhy right to the breathtaking arrogance of claiming God and Christ exclusively for itself. God created no religion. Man created them all. God loves and walks with and guides a Moslem or Buddhist or Hindu who loves Him as surely as He guides a Christian who does. Religion are vehicles we invented to reach God. He isn't bound by any but is ABOVE them all. NONE has a monopoly on truth.

An atheist SEES no rational reason to believe in God and you must admit the empirical evidence is pretty thin. Unless you've walked with God a certain distance and know beyond all shadow of doubt HE exists, that He's in fact, the only true reality, you can't be blamed if you don't believe. I've grown
up. I know things I didn't know months ago. Secret things. How? he told me. Christ, who is wonderful beyond all dreams of wonderfulness and who is fully unknowable in a sense, brings himself down to insignificant human beings' levels and they talk. It's like a man talking to bacteria. He can only describe things that bacteria can understand in bacteria pictures and symbols and language. But what can man tell bacteria of quantum physics and the vastness of space? Of mathematics and the oceans of the world and great architecture? But what little bacteria can understand, because its is handicapped and limited,is truly wonderful to it, though it cannot comprehend the rest.

I don't fast. Depriving the body that way is notorious for bringing on hallucinations. A man deprived of water in a desert begins to see mirages. I simply can't trust anything that happens if I fast and so don't. He tells me what he will when He will, though there are times I've said, Slow down!
He's master here. How proud I am to say that!

I rarely go to church. I don't do 'formal' prayer. I don't believe the Bible is the infallible word of God. It's full of truth. It's also full of lies
and hundreds of additions and omissions the original authors didn't put in it.It was merely in the interest of a few religious men to make others think so long ago, because Kings believed priests and popes could damn their souls and the authority of the Church rested on that belief. It wouldn't do to have kings start questioning your power, would it? It was only a short leap from proclaiming the bible, the testimonies and opinions of human beings, 'infallible', to proclaiming human beings themselves infallible, a step the Catholic Church, source of a thousand mischiefs, took when they declared their popes 'holy' and 'infallible'. But their Bible is infallible doctrine has unfortunately survived and people still believe it.

Religious duties and bibles merely prop up religion. Your faith has to be based on something more, on a PERSONAL knowledge of God. If you're engrossed in a propped-up religion, once one of those props is destroyed, your faith is destroyed along with it. That's why people who discover the
truth about the Bible and who have no real personal knowledge of God often lose their faith in God. It's based on a bible and religious activities. If those things go, their faith goes. There are people who NEED those things, otherwise their 'faith' fades. Many churches invent a God that doesn't exist and serve this imaginary God. They're comfortable with adultery and lying and stealing and cheating and manipulating others and yet coming to raise holy hands in front of this God on Sundays. This God doesn't tun their minds to the suffering of others or what they might do for others, this God is only interested in giving them houses and cars and money, and making they and their wants the centre of the universe.

You don't base your faith on religious props but on SOMEONE who, when you get a taste, you'll barter your very life to get more of Him. He owns it all anyway.

There's a point to this. It's that, untold millions around the world across many faiths enjoy this personal relationship with him and more besides.It's not new or special but is meant to be the norm.

Now you talk of your Pastor. A pastor is merely an administrator of a church.He isn't closer to Him any more than the next person in that Church. Here is the TERRIBLE MISTAKE many of us make:You assign decisions to pastors that are NOT his to make, you hand over what should be brought before God to ANOTHER HUMAN BEING.

When you do that, when you ask your pastor who you should marry, You chose a man over God and God WILL NOT INTERVENE but will LEAVE YOU TO THAT CHOICE. God who sees, not THE future because no such thing exists, the future is in a state of flux due to free will, but every possible outcome there can be, is right there for you to consult, and you go to men no better than you because they were issued religious titles by other men.

It's truly horrifying how many people do this. I personally know Christian couples in horribly unhappy marriages because of this. Pastors are human like you and have no qualifications whatsoever to determine your marital fate! Beloved, go to your FATHER in heaven! Go to Christ, who is compassionate beyond belief, and pour out your soul to him. He will answer you right speedily!

All that others can do is merely CONFIRM what He has already told you. Don't ask him to do this. He'll always confirm what He tells you, but However He sees fit.

Don't ever place your life or your future in any man's hands when God is there right beside and loves you and knows all. We're all guilty of it, that unbelievable stupidity.

If the man you love is the man for you, his atheism is irrelevant. Each man's spiritual journey is his alone. You just pray for him relentlessly. God will reach him in His own time, depending on your man's choices and desires, and may lead him to a faith diferent from yours, but where he'll experience
God the fullest.

Seek God and GOD ALONE on this matter. Will you be happy with him? Will he be happy with you? Will God's will be done by your union? Will both your purpose be fulfilled if you get married? Is this His will for you? God knows all the answers. Seek Him. Leave your silly religious baggage outside
and truly seek Him. It's your great good fortune to know He exists. He will lead you if you let Him. Go to Him. Do whatever He tells you. He will say Yes or No. If it's No, however wonderful your man is, let him go. If it's Yes, then you see that his atheism is irrelevant. Go to God. You can trust Him with anything. He WILL answer you.

Mad max i have never mixed any cream before neither have i used all those harsh creams, the cream i made use of was body treat which everybody used in my home,like i said it is very mild and not really obvious unless i show it to u and you take a very close look at it. Anyways thanks

OK sweetie. It seems yjay is on the right track. I asked a friend and she recommends a mixture of honey and red oil, applied liberally to the spot, left on overnight and washed off the next morning. She says to do this till it's gone.

Hi ubiaa5, skin toners have been gone over in at least 3 pages. Look through the previous pages for what might work for you. Most of the questions being asked has already been treated, from hyperpigmentation to stretch marks.

Voned.
To be honest, honey, I don't know much about skin burns. I think it results when you apply things that aren't meant for healthy skin to the skin. It'll damage it, just like using drugs for diseases in a healthy body ruins your health. I've heard of women using things like tempovate and dermovate and all those things, which are for serious dermatological diseases. They end up destroying their skin, sometimes irrevocably. If that's what you're doing, 'mixing' creams and applying it to your skin, you'll be very. very sorry in the long run. Your skin colour is beautiful in whatever shade it is. If there are uneven patches, there are creams that'll lighten those so your skin is even all over. If you want to be a few shades lighter, there are beauty lotions formulated for that purpose that will not damage your skin. If you can't afford something expensive, maybe what celebrities use (and remember they eat for their skin too) then wait till you can.

You should see a dermatologist for that burn. It's their area of expertise and they're at most large hospitals. Don't worry, don't be embarrased, everyone makes mistakes and they've seen it all. It's hard for me to just say, go use this or that off the bat, when I've no idea what you applied to the skin or how serious the burn is. Aloe vera and cocoa butter can't hurt meanwhile. Needless to say, don't use products that have harsh, crude ingredients or work too quickly. Or not meant for healthy skin at all.

I don't think so. I'm not sure it was reviewed here. I select what to watch from reviews.

The Quiet American? Good movie.

Sure, G13. Will check em out.
^*Sigh* When will Sly Stallone learn he's practically in his dotage and the heydays of the 80s are over?
JS lol. Go and watch Battlestar.
Spikie, you haven't said why the angry eye o.

Lol. What now?

JeSoul:
Hehe, you have/know of links where I can download/watch online?

I've no idea though no doubt a google search'll tell you. I've downloaded a movie only once,I think. PAN'S LABYRINTH. Maybe it's the vestiges of our hunter-gatherer ancestry but I prefer to hunt em down, crow when I find, and log em home to Papa. 'Woman hunt DVD. Man press play now.' There are movies I've been hunting for eons though the DVDs are right there on Amazon, or can be downloaded.

lalaboi:
It seems. . . pls give opinion when you are sure. . .lol

Lol. It's what I heard. How can anyone ban JK? We miss him and want him back o, ye of the Fastest Ban in the West clan.

It seems JK was banned because of his typing, which is an incredibly stupid reason to ban someone. Arrogance and Highhandedness goeth together, and both goeth before a fall.

That's right, lol. Be impossibly smug.

Obinna? Kiloso?

You're so adorable. You can't help yourself. 

AN EDUCATION
Carey Mulligan, Emma Thompson,Peter Sarsgaard, Rosamond Pike, some familiar looking blokes I can't put a name to.

A young English girl abandons school to see the world through the charms of an older man. So thrilling is what she sees that she overlooks the darker and more disturbing sides of his character, and agrees to marry him. It all comes tumbling down like a house of cards, and she claws her way back to the life she wanted before she met him.  This is very good, in the veddy veddy English way that Atonement is good, though it's not as dark as Atonement and so, not quite the same. I was really impressed by Carey Mulligan. She'll go far, that girl.

Excellent.

Gayin13, I'm going to see An Education this weekend. It had better be good.

I know you haven't seen Battlestar Galactica, JS. You know how I know? If you had, every spare moment would be spent pointing your eyeballs at it and you'll vanish from here for a while. Then you'll start raving about it. It's better than Star Wars, better than Star Trek. It's an event. John Callis and James Olmos were outstanding. All of them were, really. If you're a sci fi fan and haven't seen it, you haven't fulfilled your calling.

See di ting like berra human being for foto.
JS, E for good make u dey come home small small. Saidi is the Chris Evans of Yoruba Nollywood. He and that other annoying character, the dark-skinned guy some ladies had the gall to tell me is 'handsome'. Ogogo. Vomit-inducing pair. Spikie, did you catch Saidi in the Yoruba version of Unfaithful? He was, of course, the lover. Richard Gere hit his rival with a crystal thingie. They pushed Saidi and he fell to the ground in slow motion and died.

You are so gay. Don't forget to close the closet door when you come out.

spikedcylinder:
Which yeye Chris Evans gan na sef.

If it's Saidi Balogun now she'll be jumping up and down o.

JeSoul:
Yes now. Didn't someone tell you? you are now blind to gorgeous men. That's why you should take it all in before slapping a ring on that  
Lol, I was going to say something but just kept quiet   But hey, I can sympathize with doyin. I was overcome by how foine that chick in 'Dejavu' was. I had to keep reminding myself I was a woman lol.

Ze ring is on my finger not my eyez

JeSoul:
Max please, need I remind you that you're a married woman. Your eyes should be glued shut to all else apart from your oga.  Leave the Chris Evans of this world to the rest of us 
  Obinna, I didn't really like the role he was cast in Fantastic Four. Evans has a rep for being a 'mickey mouse', kool aid type actor, and starring as Captain America will only further butress that sentiment. I wish he got more serious roles to match that serious body. Max is such a bad influence on me.

Is that right?

doyin13:
But mehn. . . .
That Chris Evans character is hot oo.You lot should see the contrast with our DJ Chris Evans in the UK here.

Aren't you, er, um, uhh, a guy? Come out come out come out of the closet. . .

^gasps

Who the hell's Chris Evans? Obinna 5000, that's the best thing you've posted on this thread!

JK, resolve your typie-thingie kiakia jor and let's review Cannibal Holocaust. I have unvented venom.

spikedcylinder:
It is quite good. Left the cinema hall with a lot of confused people arguing with each over the true synopsis of the movie though. I liked it.

I'll like it then. I'm going to check it out.

Is it good?

I forgot Yeoh.
Hmm. It's that Depp magic.

EPIC MOVIE

The Chronicles of Narnia were a series of novels by beloved and justly celebrated Christian writer C.S Lewis, close friend of JRR Tolkien, who gave us The Lord of the Rings. In the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, the witch is the devil and the deceitful lure of unimportant things, the wardrobe is any door that connects us to the hyper-reality of the spiritual universes superimposed on this one. The children are humanity, the lion is Christ. Death is one of those doors. This world is a dream, an illusion of sorts. When we die we awaken to things we could never have imagined or believed if we'd lived a million years on earth. Only His love is real. It is true, fathomless, hopelessly incomprehensible to us in its enormity, and has no end. We know a little of it and it is enough.

C.S Lewis's novels brilliantly capture a small part of what He did for us, how he saved and saves us still.

Someone pressed Epic Movie on me and I agreed to see it. Finally got round to it. Few movies have shocked me. One. Maybe two. I hereby admit another. This is the most profane, tasteless and obscene movie I've ever seen.

It spoofs Pirates of the Carribbean, X-Men and Chronicles of Narnia. I enjoy spoofs. Scary Movie 1 and Mafia still make me laugh. But this wasn't funny. It was horrendously ignorant, despicably low and incredibly offensive. I stopped watching. Spoof a Christian movie, why not. But this went too too too far. Nothing will induce me to see anything by these producers again. Ever.

I need something to take the extremely bad taste out of my mouth. Madonna, MJ and Linkin Park videos, maybe.

Hmm. Frieda Pinto (the lady in Slumdog Millionaire)is being considered for Bond Girl in next 007 outing. Asian Bond Girl would be a nice first. Not sure she can carry the role though.

No. I've lost all respect for her. If she had integrity she would have demonstrated nothing but after she left NAFDAC, but it wasn't so.

She's very clever. As an insider she saw which way the chips were falling and quickly deserted Yardua, with her much-publicised 'responsible stance' asking an absent Yardua to hand over, switching loyalties and cunningly positioning herself for when Goodluck would take over, which he did a week later.

INEC? She's not worth it. None of them are.

Lord Farquaad.

It's the spambot thing. There's a complaints thread in the section and it'll be rectified.

@yjay,
thanks a lot babe.
I'll give ya situation report after am done with this bottle.
@mad_max,
what other products are you referring to that works for spots better than meladerm.
Please i need that info for a friend.thanks

If 'spots' are acne, 20% salicylic acid will remove it. If it's blemishes, Makari Caviar Face Cream will do it. It's in the same price range as Meladerm, and works far, far better. You may also try Iman Evener, but Makari Caviar Face Cream might work better.

Don't use Meladerm. There are products that do the same thing better and faster. It works only for a tiny minority.

And the Joker takes the plaudits. Even Keyser Soze (abi how una dey spell am) is more sinister than Anton. Anton is mechanical about killing. That's not a psycho, that's a wire disconnected. The Joker kills for pleasure, that's a psycho and plenty wires flying all over in a short-circuiting frenzy

I'm sorry. Chigurh is not a psycho? He doesn't derive pleasure, doesn't kill for the fun, doesn't do a do-wop and dance over the corpse, so he's not bad enough for you? That guy is one of the most chilling psychopaths my eyeballs has had the my pleasure of pointing at on a screen!Did we see the same movie? He has an unflinching system of rules, and the rules in this universe must give way to his. He's even compassionate! When he feels sorry for you, touched by something in you, he offers you a 50/50 chance to escape his terrible retribution. He gives the girl at the end that chance, but she refuses to take the escape offered, because she didn't understand it. But he forces everyone to play by his rules, or die. No bargaining. Not a psycho?!!!!

Hi gals, I know vitamin E is superb for the skin but each time I try to use any cream that contains it I break out in rashes on my face
I cant keep avoiding this vitamin cos I think am missing alot and there's hardly any good cream/beauty regime out there that does not contain it. . . . . what do I do?

Are. If your skin can't stand the stuff, stop tormenting the poor thing na. What does Vitamin E do for the skin exactly? Skin cells are dead, remember? Why must it take its vitamins- to grow big and strong? Antioxidants work best from the inside. Eat foods containing those or take supplements. Honestly, never mind all the extravagant claims cosmetic merchants make for their products. There are few things with demonstrable benefits for the skin, and by far the most effective are got from your diet. Drinks tons of water, protect your skin from the sun, and eats lots of fruits and as much vegetables as you can stand several times a week, and see what that does for your skin in a few months. The costliest moisturisers can't rival it.  

browncocos! Lol, are you selling market? Kukuma do am well na. Mebbe you should have a tiny centre where ladies can buy everything they need instead scouring the earth for it.

Oh hey lol. No idea. Isn't there some large mega-mall near the Lekki area with tons of shops? Shoprite? There ought to be a quality beauty store there.
