I hate to be the minority on this one, Just think about it, if she didnt wanna be with you, she probably would have left your ass a long time ago. Give her the benefit of the doubt. You prolly aint the greatest hubby or boyfriend she ever had, but she's giving you the opportunity to prove yourself. Hell, if she didnt want you, she would have stayed with her ex !!

Just out of curiosity, have you asked outright if she's cheating My guess would be, NO !! That would be coz you already know he answer! Women these days are not property despite the fact that you pay dowry, they are your lifelong partner, make them know or remind them of the fact.

I've had girls/women compare me to their ex, but I didnt take it to heart the wrong way, matter of fact, they helped me be a better partner.

Just a thought, what if (and I mean this in the most bizzare way/ thought), What if Africans united, (sub saharan, western, eastern, central &southern), what's to stop us from forming one of the most formidable nation on the planet ? Our parents and forefathers may not have had the idea because of communication, or lack thereof ?? Does anyone even doubt this ?? There's always strength in numbers. Hell, the Europeans & Americans have made it a reality, why not us No single African country can claim to match that progress. After centuries of domination by outside influence, we need to rise as one unit to counter them. We were great once, can we not be again ?? Ask yourself, "Why not ?"

Just because you may have a sheltered life right now, dont think short term, your decendants look up to you to give pride & security in the long term, its gonna be your ever lasting legacy.

It Just breaks my heart that we look at things in terms of tribe, locality, countrywise & nepotism. We are better than that !! There's a reason Africans have been around as long as cockroaches, we always find a way to survive !! This time, lets make it known worldwide that we arent just part of the world populace, but a formidable force to reckon with.

Make it happen , you owe it to yourself, among others.

Well said blackspade, I can only hope that your statement reflects what most Nigerians think of Africa as a whole. Competing amongst ourselves is healthy, ONLY if we keep it in perspective for the greater good. Bragging rights competition only serves us on the contrary. If sub saharan, central and southern Africa united, we could make it one of the most sought after region in the world given the natural resources abundance. Hell, even the United States cant even compare !! But we still find a way to mess it up. Lets get recognized Africa, no more self imposed"negro mess ups, we are better than this. Make it happen !!

Hi everybody, just wanted to introduce myself. I've been reading this forum for almost a year and I finally decided to sign up and rant a lil. A short about me:
I'm a Kenyan born guy living in the US for the last 17 years, and I havent been back home in all that time, yes, I know its despicable, but I have no qualms about it coz most of my siblings live here in the USA and one is in Europe, and oh yeah, my parents always have a free standing visa to visit and do so every couple of years.

I dunno about the rest of you, but I get a thrill every time I see pics of my old stomping grounds. Nairobi has really changed from the last time I was there and it seems to get better as the years go by. I swear I will be as clueless as a tourist when I finally muster the effort to go back. But nonetheless, its a very promising venture when I do so.

My screen name says alot about me, , just like the original expeditioner magellan, I was fortunate to have a parent who was an American embassy employee and that gave me the opportunity to visit many countries and UN sanctioned regions & territories. I love the diversity of the world because it makes it so interesting. But I have to chip in on the current animosity between the Kenyans and Nigerians going on at the moment: You know why the African continent still lags behind in world development ?? Its not because of experience, talent or innovation. Its coz of sheer jealousy when it comes to prosperity. This element goes all ways, no one is innocent. Who cares if Lagos is richer than Nairobi, or if Nairobi is more adored by westerners than a west African city ?? The westerners love the fact that we cant appreciate our progress as Africans as a whole and we resort to back biting and hate on each other. Remember that old colonial tactic to conquer Africa?, (divide & rule), guess what?, it still works today. Shame on all of us, we let mother Africa down because of bullshit pride. The AU is a great concept, I hope we get it to work for the masses, God knows we are due for a break.

Long live mother AFRICA !!
