wasak: We started dating in 2011 after a year of asking her out. I just love her naturally not for anything. Admittedly, her stubbornness might be partly due to my over pampering at the initial stage of our relationship, I was naive but I think 4 years is actually a long time for the love to be balanced. At every point in time she claims she loves me more, but no evidence whatsoever to show for it. I don't want to venture into crazy things I've done for her, that's a story for another day. It appears she takes delight in frustrating me due to my simple nature, actually I can be stubborn too, but not with regards to relationship because I believe it's all about compromise. She's inconsiderate and selfish, always wants to have her way at all time even though I have to sacrifice my convenience for her umpteen times. I'm scared of settling down with a woman who'll finally kill me, I love her no doubt. But it appears love is not enough. Someone talk to me pls
Brother, you have two options. 1. Be a man. 2. Be a Chicken.
See all these women, they are all the same. The only difference is that they exhibit their uniform nature in different ways. If you dump this lady, do you know what the next has in store for you? The devil you know...... I can give you tips if you want. Drop your WhatsApp contact.
tido77: I am limping between decisions, I need your piece of advice to buoy my wobbling senses. A well educated lady is in my radar, I like ladies that control grammar very well, in fact I am a sucker for such ladies. This my lady controls grammar so well and she is beautiful, a graduate.
Now, I also have a young lady that comes around, and I observed that they are both different in manners. She is not a graduate, she stopped at secondary school level due to finance problem.
When this not so schooled lady comes around she always notices disorganized things and would arrange them, would notice dirty floor and mop up,wash dirty dishes etc. She would not greet me without bending her left knee slightly to show respect. She is not as beautiful as the educated lady though.
The graduate lady do none of these things, all we do is just gist.
Lately the school cert lady makes me feel the warmth of a caring lady, I am beginning to notice her more.
I am a graduate with tastes, I don't know what I want again, I am confused, somebody advise.
Beauty without manners is Ugly. Not so pretty but with manners is georgiousness.

Though I found my way out by making conscious efforts to pronounce the words well when I speak. Just practise more, it's nothing serious to me. You're not alone.
Don't feel bad. Just learn 10 words each starting with F and V. Master them and think before you call them.

lalasticlala: Jim Iyke who turned 39 today has finally confirmed that he is now a father by sharing a picture of him and his son lying on the bed with the following note:
If these two songs aren't the best vocal performances in Nigeria right now, I don't know what other one is. Both songs got executed with that perfectionist touch that'll make you wonder whether these two are actually from this planet.
This is battle for the Nigerian King of Soul. Going on the head-to-head level based on these two songs, these two are actually each other's competition even if it doesn't seem so at the moment.
These two songs have the same theme- going to the big life in the city. So it's in line that the Cobhams-produced WISH ME WELL erupts comparison with the two time Grammy award winning Soweto Choir-assisted "PRAY FOR ME"
Timi Dakolo had already showed us why he is Nigeria's King of Soul and Nigeria's finest tenor on his previous hits like "Iyawo Mi" and "Great Nation". So when legendary producer Cobhams Asuquo at his best, hooks up with Timi in fine Form, what we get is the beautiful hustler anthem "Wish me Well". This single off his forthcoming album, "Love and Consequences" is making the right waves and hit the right notes. I don't know if am delusional or this song actually deserves a Grammy award nomination.
However, the more recently released Darey's effort alongside Grammy winning South African group Soweto Choir titled "Pray for Me" is giving Timi Dakolo a run for his money and rightly so. The song centered around the same hustler theme is off his "Naked" album. The mid tempo Afro-Soul shows off Darey's vocal strengths while also reminding us that as far as R&B goes in Nigeria, only a very scarce few do it as good as he does. The song tells a story, a story of a hero at that in a manner that evoke emotions.
These songs are both perfectly done and deserve any credit they get.
Gun to the head, if we are to pick one of this two.... It will be... BOTH!!!
contactmorak: A graduate of Mass Communications, Peace Hyde, is a TV personality and the West African correspondent for Forbes Africa. She also acts sometimes. She is featured in the newly premiered Season 4 of MTV Shuga and she could be Africa's most curvy journalist. ...
enyinna4: Long faces, broken spirits and an atmosphere filled with grief welcome you to the home. Tucked in a reserved part of Okota, a sprawling suburb in the heart of Lagos, the neighbourhood has perhaps seen more visitors over the last few days than at any previous time in its history. Since the tragic demise of Oluchi Anekwe, a 300 level accounting student of the University of Lagos who was electrocuted on campus last Tuesday evening, the flow of sympathisers has swelled by the minute – men, women and even children – everybody has turned up to commiserate with the household. It is the most difficult period for the Anekwes, a catholic family from Aku in Igbo-Etiti Local Government Area of Enugu State.
A promising, God-loving and talented young lady, Oluchi had everything going for her. At barely 22 (she could have attained that age on December 5); she was on top of her academic and social life. A high flying student of accounting with an envious grade in school – first class – her dream of becoming a renowned investment banker in the future was gradually taking shape. To further cement her future and enrich her resume, Oluchi was already preparing to sit for the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria exams later this month in her bid to become chartered before graduating from the university. Such was her love for excellence. But last Tuesday, all those lofty dreams went up in flames after tragedy struck. Oluchi would now be buried on the week she was supposed to sit for the ICAN test – an ambition she had pursued with unflinching passion and determination in recent months.
“It still feels like a dream that my daughter is gone,” Chief Basil Anekwe, her distraught father told our correspondent on Thursday at the family home. Days of shedding tears had taken toll on him. His eyes were a bit swollen while his skin had become unusually pale – a testament to how heartbroken his daughter’s tragic and sudden demise had left him.
“She was the star of the family,” he continued. “Always striving to become the best at her academics. Even as a first class student, she wasn’t satisfied, she wanted to break records and was already discussing where she would prefer to do her Master’s degree. That was who Oluchi was.
“I remember that last Sunday, she called and asked me to send her some money since her elder sister, Nkem, was staying with her at her apartment behind the school because of the distance from Okota to her office. I promised that she was going to get some money from me by Wednesday at most. So, on Wednesday morning that I had planned to go send her the money, I got a call from my eldest son that Oluchi was very ill and that she was in the hospital. Suddenly, I saw my driver show up at my apartment in Ogun State where I work; I was surprised to see him. Not quite long, my son called and told me that he had sent the driver to pick me to come to Lagos as a result of Oluchi’s sickness. At that point, I became restless. The driver didn’t utter a word to me.
“When I finally got to Lagos, I asked to be taken to the hospital to see her. I insisted on seeing her at the hospital because I assumed she was alive. But when we got to LUTH and the driver was going towards the mortuary, I began to think that the girl might have died after all. I insisted on seeing her and they wheeled her out of the morgue, she was almost laughing. One of my daughters brought out holy water and rubbed it on her mouth, telling her to stand up that we were here to take her home. Her neck was still lose, it wasn’t stiff yet. In fact most parts of her body were still not stiff after staying there throughout the night. My wife wasn’t even aware at that point. It was later that evening that the news was broken to her.
“Her death is a big loss to us,” he said before breaking down in tears.
Oluchi’s immediate elder sibling, Nkem – a practising lawyer – gave a vivid account of her last moments before the sad incident. The 26-year-old told Saturday PUNCH that the accounting undergraduate could have survived had staff of the UNILAG medical centre attended to her immediately she was rushed to the facility. She said they insisted on seeing her Identity card before checking her. Nkem also revealed that her sibling had a premonition of something terrible happening a few days before the sad incident. She battled to contain her emotions while pouring out her heart to our correspondent.
“Last Sunday while at one of our prayer meetings in church, the man of God asked us to rebuke every monitoring spirit assigned to follow us about. Immediately, Oluchi got on her knees and started praying seriously, crying for God to rebuke evil away from her. I had never seen her pray like that before. It was as if she knew death was around the corner,” Nkem said.
Maybe the accounting undergraduate truly had an inkling of the calamity to befall her. In one of her last few posts on her Facebook page, Oluchi had given an insight into perhaps what was to come.
She wrote: “Many are born great but die unknown…everything that makes us human is vain.”
Nkem believes that maybe the aspiring accountant could have survived had staff at the UNILAG medical centre attended to her promptly immediately she was rushed into the facility last Tuesday.
“Oluchi was still alive by the time she was rushed to the medical centre of the school but the doctors and nurses refused to attend to her until they saw her identity card and confirmed that she was a student. They refused to attend to her and that was how the girl died there. The most shocking part was that when I got there, Oluchi wasn’t even placed on a bed; they had wrapped her body and placed it on the floor. I told the doctor that it was wrong for them to have done that because sometimes the person could still be alive at that point. It was an indirect statement from them that nothing was done to save her life. Even Uju, our last born who was with Oluchi when the incident happened, wasn’t attended to even with the injuries she sustained. It was after I confronted the doctor for not being sensitive enough that Uju was only given panadol and one small tablet. This was around 8:00pm. You can imagine how long she was abandoned from the time the cable fell on them.
“At the mortuary at LUTH that night, the officials refused to honour the death certificate issued for Oluchi, insisting that it was not valid because the doctor did not sign it. He probably didn’t sign it because he knew he didn’t examine her at all before pronouncing her dead. The ambulance that brought us from UNILAG had to take the nurse back to get the doctor to sign the death certificate while the body was wheeled to a corner outside the mortuary. It was until about 11:30pm that her body was finally taken into the morgue.
“Oluchi was brought to the medical centre alive but she died because they refused to treat her. It’s a shame that an ordinary school ID card would be more valuable than the life of a human, a promising young lady,” she said.
Several days without a sign of Oluchi has left a sour feeling on the lips of every member of the household. Oluchi’s mother, Augustina, a business woman, has remained inconsolable while relatives and close friends of the family are still grappling with the reality, wondering how death could have snatched one of their brightest away. Their grief is such that even the slightest memory of her leaves them in tears.
“An alarm clock Oluchi set to wake her up for prayers and studies every midnight rang on Thursday, everybody in the house woke up and started crying,” Ugo, eldest child of the family, told Saturday PUNCH.
“It brought back her memory into the hearts of everyone of us. We cried till morning. To imagine that she would not be here with us again is really heartbreaking,” she said.
According to Ugo, a bank worker, the fashionable and very friendly Oluchi was born on a Sunday after their mother fell into labour during a church service. Given a pet name for that reason, she grew up becoming everybody’s favourite in the home especially for her calm approach to issues that needed her input. Ugo, whose wedding had been fixed for October 17, wonders what that day would now look like without the charming and loveable Oluchi in the picture.
“She told me some months back that she wanted to become a chartered accountant before she graduated from the university and was working very hard towards achieving that dream. We were all very happy for her. The last time we saw, she told me that the dress she was going to wear on my wedding in October was ready and that she couldn’t wait to put it on. But rather than wait to put that fine dress on, the earth is going to be Oluchi’s cloth now. It is so painful to lose her at such a time in her life. I am really in pains,” she said.
The family pains could have been more severe had God not preserved Uju’s life. The 19-year-old who was with Oluchi at the time of the tragedy managed to escape with her life but not without some injuries to the face and hand. She could barely speak when our correspondent visited the family on Thursday.
On Wednesday morning, enraged students of UNILAG blocked major entrances into the school and shut down academic activities while registering their frustrations at the incident. Many of them blamed the university’s authorities for not doing enough to improve facilities on campus especially at their hostels. It took spirited attempts from top management officials and an address by the vice chancellor, Prof. Rahman Bello, who blamed the incident on electric cables belonging to the Power Holding Company of Nigeria, for the rampaging students to sheathe their swords.
A delegation from the institution among them Prof. Tunde Babawale and Dr. Karo Igbinaka visited the family on Thursday. They had come to commiserate with the family and assured them of their total support. Oluchi’s body was moved to her native Enugu on Friday where she would be buried next weekend.

[b]Ishhh is getting real!! Can’t believe I’m going to be a married woman, it’s all so terribly grown up lol.
I didn’t want to put up anything on my site, but I’m trying to make it a bit more personal, so let’s see how this goes.
Anyhoo, so on Saturday 5th September, I had my introduction. This is where the families of the bride and groom officially meet. We had expected about 100 people, I hear there were about 250 people there! Eeek!!
I didn’t sleep well the night before, because I was so nervous and I really didn’t know what to expect. I’ve been to events like this before, but I’m generally in a corner somewhere just observing.
Today the attention was all on me…and that was so unnerving! I’m used to being on stage, but then work-mode has been activated, so in my mind its all about work.
I was so nervous, couldn’t eat…also because I was paranoid that I would get food stuck in my braces and would end up having lots of pictures with efo (spinach) hanging from my teeth lol.
I worked myself up so much that I ended up developing a nervous tick. My right eye twitched for hours and I could barely stop myself from freaking out….but when I saw him aka Bae the twitching stopped…(and the crowd went awwww!)
All thanks to God! Much love to family and friends for making it all happen, looking forward to Part 2 & 3![/b]
I mean no disrespect oooo but I wonder why dem go dey form like say dem no know say na dem no allow us sit comfortably on the four sitters. Dem go con dey carry one kin face like that.
And we sef no go fit tell them. Na to just dey grumble and hiss.
If you've ever found yourself in this situation, abeg share.
jumanche: I met my boyfriend online. We were in a long distance relationship for a 2 months before I moved back to his town. Before we met, he told me he smoked cigarettes but socially. I was ok with that. I thought that If he needed a cigar to calm his nerves , its alright. I do not smoke.
After we met, It turns out that he's a chain smoker. He takes at least 3 packs of cigarettes a day. After a month of dating him, I just couldn't take it anymore. After we visit each other, I reek of cigarettes. My clothes, my purses, my hair, the bed-sheet. Everything stinks. Sometimes I have to re-do my laundry. He smokes inside the house and car so the smoke is directly on me .
I talked to him about this. I told him that the smoke stinks everywhere up so bad and that I have to wash my clothes after I visit him. He got really mad and we didnt talk for days.
I love my boyfriend but I cannot take the smoking. Its also starting to affect him medically , his teeth is rotten and he coughs chronically. I tell him to stop at least for his health and he starts to give examples of non-smokers who died early or smokers who live long.
I am at my wits end because everything and everywhere stink and cigarette butts are everywhere.
How do I tell him to stop?? Or do you think its time to end the relationship.
Bae, you no say him dey smoke before you gree date am abi? Why complain now? Join him in the smoking and let us rest.
Debeloved87: My pastor's marriage crashed last year, thou the marriage produced children and the parting seems unreconcilable even thou i think it fell on domestic issues and also the fact that the wife doesn't really flow with the pastoral call of the husband as her pastor husband wish her to.
Recently the man of God was talking about it and he said that he will take a new wife very soon anytime he is ready, and he ask us whether its scriptural but we just giggled and he told us that it is scriptural that we should open the book of 1 corinthians 7:14-15 "for the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband, else where your children unclean but now are they holy; but if the unbelieving depart,let him depart, a brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases:but God has called us to peace...
This actually was a little bit confusing to me, since the wife in question wasn't an unbeliever... Is my pastor right with his assertions?
whirlwind7: What makes it cheap? Because the design looked simple? How did you arrive at your guess that the design was gotten for free? I know that in choosing a logo, companies usually have go through a range of options, before making a final choice.
Don't mind me. Even the security men I met there this morning said that many customers have been complaining about the new logo.
mployer: So you"ve not heard that simplicity is nearest to truth
I'm into logo design and I know what I'm saying but if you talk of simplicity.... Hmm, I might agree but for a financial institution..... That logo is low.
jiggaz: In my previous article, i wrote about how Tiwa Savage helped and killed Mocheddah's music career and ascended the THRONE as the Queen of Naija Pop Music.
I also wrote another article, how Yemi Alade was planning a Coup D'etat to dethrone Tiwa Savage and she has finally achieved her aim.... Presently, Yemi Alade is the BIGGEST & MOST POPULAR Nigerian Female Singer across Africa!!!! Omo, this babe is huge across AFRICA!!! She has virtually toured the whole African countries, from her sold-out Stadium Concerts in Tanzania, Togo, Namibia etc... To her awards when she clinched the BEST FEMALE in Africa at the last MTV MAMA Award.
A music promoter in Namibia was telling me sometime ago that Yemi Alade is the number one Nigerian Female artiste in Namibia and that her songs are on heavy rotation. She's also very BIG in East Africa and also West African countries. Congrats Yemi, its not easy. I watched your career grow from 2009 during Peak Talent Show where u emerged the winner. Hard Work pays.
Meanwhile, Seyi Shay is rising very fast in the industry too, Yemi you might want to watch your back oo. Cos i think Seyi is planning another Coup D'etat on you as you did Tiwa I wish Tiwa all the best as she comes back from Omugwo....... Nigerian artistes are the best.... They are talented except the ones dat sing Kpangolo music.
Tiwa is now a complete woman. You can't expect her to still retain her spot in this very competitive market. Tiwa is in capable hands (MAVIN) She'll be back soon before you blink. Tiwa anyday anytime is a million miles ahead of the other girl.
The mad man was said to have held a hammer, which he used repeatedly to hit the machine, trying to destroy it.
The incident, which reportedly threw ATM users into confusion and kept them on their heels scuttling for safety, happened at about 9 a.m after the suspect was mistaken for a robber on a mission to rob customers at the ATM.
According to reports, the attack allegedly rendered two bank machines useless, leaving customers exasperated.
The state Police Public Relation Officer, Collins Sola Adebayo, who confirmed the incident, said the suspect was shot on his leg.
Joy1706: Please I will want to know the opinion of people. My husband insists I dish his food. For instance, if I set the food on the table with plates and cutlery, he prefers I dish onto his plate, that it shows complete service.i think otherwise because I might be busy attending to other chores. This morning he almost left for work without taking breakfast and when i asked why he was leaving, he said the service was not complete. So I had to leave what I was doing to dish food for him.
What are your views on this? *culled from facebook*
I get used to someone dishing my food. My sister dished my food for many years when I was still home. When my Mother attempts dishing my food I stylishly tell her not to worry that I'm not ready to eat yet. Or I dish it myself.
Except fastfood, I hardly eat any food prepared by others except my Mum and sisters or myself ( I sabi cook gannn)
So when I get married, my food MUST be cooked and served by my wife. Who else for dish am sef? I rebuke any housemaid in my house in Jesus name. AMEN!
