folake4u:I for no justify am na. Because you go stop to dey pay my bills. Or make my scrotum go burst because you dey highly opinionated. |
altteemy:I've watched it and I hate it, for real. |
laivwire:That's mine not hers. |
folake4u:So? Make I die of konji because I wan dey serious relationship? |
Father4all:She actually schooled in the southwest, on the contrary. Na me attend northern university . |
Lekby25:God is too busy for this, bro. |
Egoat:At this point, you don't seem to have anything to give me. |
tunize:The last paragraph is well noted. Thank you brother, for your input. |
Babaibeji2020:Wetin I wan gain from a faceless forum if I lie? Sheun dey pay us money?

Babaibeji2020:Like lmfao. ![]() |
Stephen0mozzy:You're a sage, chief. Thank you so much your words of wisdom. |
Egoat:There is no discrimination anywhere brother. I just wanted to maintain balance so people would understand where I'm coming from. I have an aunt who remained unmarried till today because the one serious relationship she was in for long ended because the man was AS while she's AS too. They were so in love that they left what should have been discussed at first for later. The relationship crashed and she didn't recover from it till today. Growing up hearing her story even as a kid has kind of implanted that consciousness in our respective minds. You can't blame me for being conscious. |
DonEd:Thank you chief for your input. When you say ask God for direction, what does that mean please? Because I won’t even call myself a believer. |
DonEd:Thank you chief for your input. When you say ask God for direction, what does that mean please? |
Stephen0mozzy:Thank you for your input brother. First off, she's a virgin, that's been confirmed. She's letting go her virginity to possibly make the relationship work. But yeah, she's a virgin. Secondly, where this becomes interesting is that I'm actually a very homely and caring person. Sincerely speaking and I want to believe it's one of the reasons she sees compatibility. I could be overly caring not just to her, it's just my way of life. If you ask any of my siblings to describe me, it's definitely will be centered on being excessively caring, patience and sympathetic. Although I don't know if same can be said about dealing with SS crisis sha. I won't call what we share pity though. Sincerely so. I'm genuinely into her.. And for the first time in my life, I am scared of losing someone and believe me, I've met quite a number of souls. This is unusual. |
Brothers, What Will You Advise a Brother? I'm currently confused about my relationship journey. I haven't really been the type to consider a serious relationship for a while now. It's just been a couple of sex partners here and there. We do it safely and keep things on a superficial level. Now, recently, there have been demands and questions here and there about starting a family, especially considering that my immediate junior brother is done having children. His lastborn will be three next month, while the lastborn of my family is also done having kids. Her firstborn is already 10 years old. I seem to be the only odd one out in this regard, even though I'm arguably more financially settled than all of them. Not to brag, please; I'm just trying to paint a clearer picture of the situation. I clocked 35 in May, and it was as if everyone in the universe agreed to centre their birthday wishes around God providing me with a wife and family. Ever since then, the reminders from my folks have been pretty loud, persistent, and disturbing. For the first time in years, I decided to seek a proper relationship, unlike my usual superficial flings and sexcapades. Come to think of it, I can barely go three days without proper sex. This detail should be useful later. I met this very beautiful babe from my state. She's 27, a first-class graduate (I am too, actually), and I'm naturally attracted to every facet of intelligence, especially communicative and academic intelligence. She has both, and I'm superbly into her. She can hold a very reasonable conversation without leaving you mentally exhausted. She's become an integral part of my life, and at this point, I think it's safe to say I'm deeply attracted to her and genuinely like her. Worthy of note is the fact that I've enjoyed a very unusual level of peace with her over the past three months, which is absolutely unlike me. I get correct anger ish, although I've learnt to manage it well. I'm not a violent person, but I pick offences easily, and most times, I walk away when provocations get too loud. More often than not, my walking away is goodbye. I'm so good at it. But since meeting this babe, we've not had any ugly disagreements over these past few months. She's very calm, calculated, and receptive. These qualities have made me like her even more. She has a reasonably good-paying job, but that's not even an issue. I earn well enough to cater for everything, but she's also financially independent. Gifting seems to be her thing, too, as she's spent quite a sum on gifts for me without expecting anything in return. I haven't even matched up to a quarter of what she's spent on gifting though. For the first time in my life, I agreed to a no-sex-before-marriage relationship because she's a virgin. I still dey run my games on a low, so this didn't really look like an ish. Here lies the rub. Just last week, she said she had a confession to make, and she opened up about being SS. Mind you, I'm AA, so, by the usual norms, this shouldn't be an issue. But during one of our previous conversations, she had claimed to be AS and asked if I would be comfortable settling down with someone who was SS. I almost freaked out. I'm sorry, but I've always wanted to have AA kids. With apologies to those affected, I've always believed that if I ever have children, I owe them the best possible chances at life, including heightened intelligence, beauty, and a sound genotype. I believe I have a reasonable degree of control over who complements my genes to bring these qualities to fruition. I'm honestly very good-looking and intelligent, so why not get someone who possesses these qualities, too? Call it insipid or vapid, but I could swear that life has already dealt some people heavy blows by limiting their options in their quest for a future partner. Unlike those of us with AA genotypes, who can consider partners across all the common genotypes without the same risk of having children with sickle cell disease, they don't always have that freedom. I wanted my kids to have that freedom and an avalanche of options, too. So, when she asked me that question, I sincerely freaked out and couldn't hide my disdain. This, in turn, stopped her from opening up until last week, when she could no longer hide it. Funnily enough, I already like her to the point where I don't mind if she's SS, BB, or iPhone. ![]() But the fact that she lied is what actually turned out to be my ish. She's been a very straightforward person so far, and this particular issue has upset our fashioned norms. I proposed that the no-sex-before-marriage agreement should be off if we were going to be together, and she agreed. But now, I'm beginning to think it might look as though I'm trying to take advantage of her at this point. Brothers, what will you advise a brother? Am I being unreasonable? Considering the emotional supports people with SS need, how challenging can it be? What is the possibility that she lives long enough? All insults, curses, and whatever are welcome. T for grateful. |

A Letter to Brymo: On Brilliance, Addiction, and the Strain of Alienation. An honest reflection on the genius we fell in love with and the unreachability of his recent sonic experiments. Dear Olawale, I write this not as an outsider looking in, nor as a passing consumer of pop hits, but as someone who has surrendered hundreds of hours to the sanctuary of your discography. For years, listening to your music was not merely an occasional leisure activity; it was an addiction. You built a world so rich, so poetically dense, and so emotionally resonant that for a vast cohort of listeners, no other African artist could compare. To understand the depth of our current frustration, one must first acknowledge the sheer scale of your brilliance. When you stripped away the conventional formulas of mainstream Afrobeats to give us Merchants, Dealers & Slaves and Tabula Rasa, you proved that African alternative music could be deeply cerebral yet intensely moving. By the time you delivered Oṣó in 2018, you had reached a level of artistic wizardry that felt almost sacred. You followed it with Yellow, a sprawling, multi-dimensional opus that proved you could balance existential philosophy with breathtaking melodic craft, and the melancholic, atmospheric perfection of 9: Harmattan & Winter. These were not just projects; they were triumphs. Because of this mastery, you built something far stronger than a standard casual fanbase: you created a devoted, almost cult-like legion of listeners. We were the believers who defended your eccentricity, shared your acoustic cuts like secret manuscripts, and filled venues just to hear your voice echo through a room backed by simple, haunting arrangements. You became our musical sanctuary. We returned to your tracks daily because they gave voice to our internal struggles, our cultural pride, and our unspoken heartbreaks. “We accepted your philosophy because it was wrapped in soul-stirring melody. But when the melody is banished, the philosophy becomes an exercise in endurance.” Which brings us to the present dilemma. Over the past few years, spanning projects like Macabre, SHAITAN: Àródan, and Telekinesis, something vital has shifted. While Theta still retained the core soul that kept nine out of ten tracks on daily repeat, the records that followed have erected a steep wall between you and the very audience that revered you. There is a stark difference between challenging an audience and completely alienating them. In your quest for absolute creative autonomy and minimalist conceptual art, you have increasingly stripped away the very elements that gave your music life: the sweeping string arrangements, the soaring vocal dynamics, emotional depths and the unforgettable hooks. In their place, we are often left with skeletal loops, harsh spoken-word cadences, and stark, unyielding arrangements. Aside from isolated moments of brilliance, such as "Onyinye" or "The Day Entropy Died - Sweet Baby Jewel", much of the recent catalog feels impenetrable, demanding exhausting effort from the listener with little emotional reward. It is easy to argue that an artist owes nothing to their audience, that true art exists purely for the creator. But music is an exchange. We, the fans, are the lifeblood of the work. We provide the streaming numbers, the ticket sales, and the financial foundation that sustains an independent career. When an album is released and even your most dedicated listeners cannot comfortably play it twice, the numbers naturally plummet. Algorithms turn away, stream counts decline, and commercial reach shrinks. This drop in numbers is not a sign that your fans have turned their backs on you out of spite; it is a sign of genuine disconnection. We cannot force ourselves to replay music that no longer moves our spirits. When the warmth of your folk-pop grandeur is replaced by cold, unyielding abstraction, the listener is left adrift. We do not ask you to chase radio trends, nor do we ask you to compromise your fiercely independent identity. You have never been a pop star, and we never wanted you to be one. But we plead with you to remember the emotional bridge that made your art transcendent in the first place. Your pen is still razor-sharp, your voice remains a powerful force of nature, and your understanding of Yoruba folklore and human nature is unequaled. But art in its highest form connects. We miss the wizardry of Oṣó, the expansive beauty of Yellow, the perfection of Èsan, the unmatchable artistry in Tabula rasa, and the soul of Harmattan & Winter. We miss being addicted to your music. We remain here, waiting in the wings, hoping that on your next venture, you choose not just to express yourself, but to bring us along with you once again. Sincerely, A Devoted Listener |
Omo... I met this girl back then in 2023, we exchanged contacts. She's a single mother of one. I asked her out casually on phone and she requested that we should rather see and talk about it one on one. I drove down to her shop. Talked briefly and she made it clear that she was quite demanding xxxually. Now if you ask me, I don't know if I'll call her a nymph or she just had this always-blazing stamina. We weren't having Bleep like day in day out which is reason I doubt she's a nymph. She would only reach out when she needed it and it was like once in a month but bro. It was demonic. We once had Bleep from 8pm till day break, just casual breaks in between. By morning, I couldn't even stand straight on my legs. Like my legs were shaking vigorously. And we weren't just having some missionary type of Bleep. Infact, we were having Bleep everywhere but my bed. I had to run for my life when I reconsidered the level of substances I was taking just to match her energy. Funnily enough, apart from the meals she took while she was around, she never billed me a dime nor accepted any monetary offer from me all through the 2 years we were together. |
I need a site link to stream this match please. |
This is the only actor or celebrity that I follow blindly. I love him that much. Nwaiyoo:Not like I would have ever been stupid enough to vote anyone else other than Tinubu/APC either way. |
Ten06:You've put all my yearnings to rest. I'm deeply grateful. |
Mynd44 Nlfpmod The new title totally changed my question into something else. I'm not a remote worker and I've never been into tech before. I asked my question as an absolute layman and changing it into this won't let me get the answers that will help. Kindly edit it back or to something better. I'm in need of advice to help me settle for what to learn, earn and focus on... You're making me look like I've the slightest ideas of things already when I don't. |
OloriDesire:What's your doubt by calling me fake life?? Is it that you don't believe I have the listed systems or that I can't have them and need helps on way to go? I never said I've been jobless all my life... I said I'm currently without job... It could mean I've just lost a job and not ready to start all over again. No part of that lines means I've been jobless all my life. If I want to be fake, I'll list things that aren't tech related but I have as properties ranging from the kind of car I drive and phones I use but nah, I just need guidance. And those systems are in all honesty, the least of what life has blessed me with. Consider it a very humble brag. |
ManLikeL:FP please sirs |
Nlfpmod Mynd44 Please help move this to the right section sirs. |
Good morning everyone. I have no idea where to post this but I need massive recommendations and guidance. Consider this question the yearning of a technical layman so your suggestions pieced into bits could be earnestly appreciated and understood. I want to go into tech and specifically I want to be a remote worker. Nothing outside of my home interests me and the idea of earning in naira seems a bit un-enough at the moment. What kind of skills should I acquire in the tech world? Trust me, I can be patient enough to wait it out till it starts yielding so believe me, I'm not expecting a quick money making scheme kind of impactation. I'm ok with slow and steady, but I want it to be dependable enough that when it picks, then it peaks and will be sustainable. At the moment, my estate has 20-hour power supply at the minimum. I have; 1) HP ZBook Fury16 G9-Intel Core I7, 16GB Ram and 1T SSD. 2) HP EliteBook 840 G9 16GB Intel Core i7 SSD 512GB. 3) I have a well upgraded HP mini Prodesk cpu (16/512GB). And a mini power station to keep these running for a few hours if there is ever an outage. I want to believe these systems should be able to handle any kind of tech duties. I'm without a job currently and I don't want to even start searching for jobs although I have a few savings to sustain me for a few years since I'm single. I want to make money legally from the shores of my abode. Please assist a brother
