slimiyke:What kind of descriptive writing? What do you describe? Yes keeping a journal is very good practice...it helps you to track your development. |
AmuDimpka:Exactly...there are different skills required for different types of writing. The question is not specific enough |
Eteka1:I have already answered that, youre just repeating yourself. |
Chai! And just like that, this handsome man is gone Im beginning to think that these deaths are sacrifices ordained by these diabolical politicians |
Eteka1:Political performance depends on both the will to do what is right and specialist knowledge and skills, which are mostly gained from higher education. That requirement was written with good intentions but in reality is not good for the electorate. |
You've brought a big shame to your parents! |
It depends on what kind of writing you want to do. |
uvie66:How can you use the president to make a point? Is the president a good example of an uneducated leader? Does the country look normal to you with him at the helm of affairs ![]() |
tunjilana:You have a point. But we know that being a trader and being a bureaucrat are parallel lines in this country Education is necessary for organisation and orderliness in government |
Flye:Forget it! Even Donald Trump has a certificate...education is necessary for a sitting governor This is not about success in general but being able to fulfil a particular role and its responsibilities |
lefulefu:If she gains weight after childbirth or something its one thing but this seems to be a result of poor discipline. The weight is not necessarily a problem but if he told her he doenst like it I dont see why she should get angry. If he didnt tell her and just dumped her, wouldnt she still complain ![]() |
Tajbol4splend:I dont know whose culture youre talking about but it cant be Igbo, introduction is just introduction. Everything can still be cancelled without affecting anybody. Paying of bride price is the most important. Without that, no marriage They are planning a very large, star-studded wedding that will attract more followers/sponsors so they have to take their time. This is a money-making operation as well as a wedding. |
Billi007:The rules are written in favour of the bookmaker and not the player Im talking about large betting companies though |
BRATISLAVA:Its a fallacy to say that Western life has "no true culture". Every country inhabited by human beings has a culture. What you choose to imbibe when you get there is up to you. You dont stop being black just because you travelled to a different country. All the people in those countries have their ancestry and traditions, why should you abandon yours Besides, youre the one who first mentioned the word "baseless". Nigeria is full of wicked people, yes. What does that have to do with what we are discussing here What does wickedness have to do with visiting your grandfather's farm, trying local delicacies, seeing TV advertisements and billboards where everybody is black, learning to dance, attending a loud, noisy Nigerian church service, riding a keke, seeing how people manage without basic amenities like electricity or water on a daily basis...seeing how other people live in a different condition from yours? How is that a mental restriction?? Why dont you think children born abroad need to see all that? Yes, I also said he should find somebody he can cope with...that doesnt mean he shouldnt ask questions to see if she is suitable for him. Its just a question...its good to think deeply when considering somebody for marriage. If a lady took a mans pocket into consideration before marriage, I would call that a fair assessment. And I would weigh things up with negative signs that I was seeing. Just because he hasnt listed all that he likes about her, it doesnt make the relationship invalid. Yes, I also said he should re-think the wedding if its too much for them. |
Billi007:Yeah, for professional gamblers or people who study odds and make intelligent choices. This guy is already addicted, he is not acting out of logic. But what Im telling him is that the machine is already rigged against the player. Thats how they make their money If you sit and calculate your risk, thats a different story. Since risk and chance is the name of the game |
She looked like a first lady in her outfit...some of what they put on these days is so ![]() |
You dont owe her anything but if you want to pay it out of kindness, then you can. But forget anything relationship because shes not stable and she's just trying to hustle her way up through life since her family cant help her. You cant count on her |
Phenomenal16:As in, I dont understand. 27 is not old, especially for a man Why is his dad on his case |
BRATISLAVA:Nah, I mean come back occasionally to visit and know his place/people. Of course the person doesnt need to live anywhere he doesnt want to live. But they at least need to see where they come from. You left Nigeria in the first place because the country is dysfunctional. You didnt leave because there is something inherently wrong with the people who live there. If not for destiny, you also would have been suffering Nigerian condition so I dont see what is so difficult about coming back once in a while. You have a root, you must come back and see it for yourself or you will grow into a confused adult. This especially important for black people. Especially black boys! They are bombarded daily with the message that they are totally useless...they need to see the other aspect of their life..their position in the world. Its actually a baseless mental restriction and a sign of inferiority complex and timidity to starve your kids of cultural education just because you believe that you have "escaped" from your stupid country. A truly enlightened person would make all the effort to inculcate their origin into their kids. Natasha Akpoti is on Channels tv fighting INEC right now, her mother is a white lady yet she has the guts and empowerment to contest for Kogi state governorship. If her father had avoided Nigeria believing that it was too "dysfunctional", where would she be ![]() I dont know what OP has in mind...I am not necessarily advocating for moving permanently back to Nigeria with the wife and kids...I just meant that they should at least visit. For the long distance relationship, all that stuff you are saying is just a condition of being in that kind of relationship. People who stay together in the same place all the time also face their own problems...people who are in normal relationships still fake and cover up their imperfections. Dont we see threads about that on here every day?? People meet thousands of people in their office, the eatery, the road, wherever and still mess up So thats not particular to long distance relationships. Whether the relationship works or not depends on how patient the couple is and how much they are willing to adjust as they get to know each other. He says she is prideful and fat because he has observed behaviour that has led him to believe that she is prideful and fat! How is that a disconnect Are you saying that she wouldnt be fat if he were by her side 24/7? And the problem isnt that shes fat, the problem is that she refuses to do anything about it.He pointed out that she is not too free with herself because she is already well taken care of, unlike some hungry/gullible girls who will throw all their morals out of the window for shawarma and coke. I dont see anything wrong with that observation, in fact it was a smart one. His question was, what would she be like if she didnt have all that anymore? If he is not able to provide the lifestyle she is used to, how will it affect the relationship? Again, this is a perfectly reasonable question! Love is important but its also important to have certain standards for what you want in a spouse and what you can and cannot tolerate. Love is just the initial primer. You still have to be realistic about whether you can actually cope with the person. She hasnt attacked his weight, maybe she doesnt have a problem with fat guys...thats her business. Moreover, he said that he was trying to reduce his weight. He is telling her that her weight is a problem for him, instead of her to work on herself she is getting angry, does that make sense to you Being overweight is not something you can argue for since its not beneficial. |
healthserve: ![]() |
Mizwisdom:The thing is that for things to be orderly, somebody has to be under somebody else. The law is made based on maintaining order, and ego also plays some part. I guess historically men were more powerful than women which is why the child "belonged" to him |
Jadeobee:I understand, you shouldnt feel forced to fake friendship with people just because you have been thrown together by circumstance. But at the same time, its good to be open to making connections with others since his friends are very important to him. I only asked because of the way you sounded in your previous post |
ruffDiamond:He had a point but everything is not about money. The lady was making a sacrifice and he was just seeing the money aspect of it Its that money-conscious attitude that led to his later downfall |
ireneidiva:It doesnt add to weight gain directly but it still messes up your metabolism and puts you at risk of certain diseases. Ideally you should have done with food some hours before you want to sleep |
healthserve:Sorry about it, sir. |
2008! Im sure she has gotten over it by now ![]() |
Jadeobee:Wow, sorry. So what activities do you guys have in common? Where did you used to hang out in the courtship days...? Have you asked him if he has any issue with you at all? At the very least, he feels cooped up at home, at worst, it sounds like he's trying to avoid you Or he's finding it difficult to adjust to married life and its responsibilities The fundamental question is, was he like that before...? And did you follow him to visit those guys when you people were dating? I mean why havent you bonded with a few of their wives or girlfriends (this is not an accustation btw, Im just asking). Im surprised that youre talking about listening to them yarn football...are there no women to talk to in those friends houses ![]() If he was like this and now hes refusing to adjust, its one thing, If he started all of it now, its another. It sounds like he is somebody who needs a lot of talk, gist, noise. Especially when he keeps calling all his family members to talk about nothing in particular. And somebody up there said something about woman-wrapper, that is true for some guys. They dont want to lose themselves because of "one woman". He is being irresponsible sha, he should go home and face his wife... |
Hei! Isoko wado! |
Hahaha The man said "I am from University of Benin" and one idiot said "No, from the University of INEC" |
Theboss100:Lol! People just voted a monster back into office youre there saying karma! They are their own karma, shekina! What a terrible country |
