Go to hell with ur Islam.



Go to hell with whatever religion you practise that gives you the illusion to believe u can poke your nose into people's affairs and make ill informed judgment.

happy wedding anniversary to the Fasasis.

to all of you developing palpitations over the wife's name and faith, I think you should learn to think before typing.

I'm quite familiar with her social media accounts and from her posts, I can say with a degree of certainty that Islam was not forced on her. if you have any evidence to the contrary, pls provide it

if not, just shut the heck up and let's hear word

Dat is not a question, it is respect for the culture u married into that is being debated.

Either u provide fact that he forcefully made her change her name to farida or u should just keep quiet

Health / Re: Insect Inside My Ear Please Help by mrgafari(m): 1:13am On Sep 05, 2016
damn. I feel ur pain bro

this same thing happened to me at night class during preparations for my ican exam

each time the insect kicked or scratched my eardrum, it felt like my head was going to explode. I think I used a cotton wool to remove the insect after close to 6 hours of torture.

Trial and error is all I can prescribe but be careful with your eardrum ooo.

Family / Re: Photo Of A Man Kissing His Daughter Generates Mix Reactions by mrgafari(m): 12:43am On Sep 04, 2016
Icon79:


My brother, you've said it all. No need to add anything else. When I read most of the comments I actually thought that the man was kissing his fully grown daughter until I saw the photo...only to realize that he was kissing his little baby. And some people found that offensive? Unbelievable! Well, I am not surprised because some folks have such rotten minds that everything is sexual in their minds. Hence, the scripture says:

To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure. In fact, both their minds and consciences are corrupted. Titus 1:15.

that girl in the picture is no longer a baby. if a boy in her grade at school does that to her at school, I doubt she would feel the need to tell her mum or dad. since its normal. dad does it.
its not about the dad's intention or dirty minds or hearts or conscience. its about the girl herself. protecting her innocence

it is highly unlikely that the man would kiss his son (of the same age) like he did with his daughter.........there goes your answer.

IceDude:
Is she not his daughter? BTW, not all men are He-goats...Nothing bad dia jor!
You are right. to an extent

However the problem is that when a man that's a real he-goat does that to her, she might not see anything wrong. Nothing bad dia jor! afterall, her dad does that to her

And how about mine?
So showing love to innocent child is now a crime?
your baby is still too young to understand the implication of kissing on the lips.
the girl in the picture posted by the OP is already approaching puberty. parents should respect that

its really been informative reading through this thread. some inevitable condescending stuff from the IOS crew but they still made some good points.

However, at this stage of my life, I can't sink money into a phone that I would have to baby sit. I need a device that becomes MINE once I pay for it. So, I will be picking up my Samsung tomorrow morning.

cheers!

no one likes it but we use it cos of the advantages. use for at least two months so as to be more confident driving alone.

what if u wanna go somewhere and the person accompanying you couldnt make it? so u wont drive out anymore?

The learner sign also mandates that you have a learner's permit and someone with a clean driver's license beside you.

The police are fond of targeting cars with the L-plate because most people flaunt the requirements. So it might be better not to use the tag
Pets / Re: Ogun Police Statement On Joachim Iroko, Man Who Named His Dog Buhari by mrgafari(m): 10:37pm On Aug 29, 2016
My thoughts:
The overwhelming response to this case shows the problem with us as a people. Too much sentimental rubbish, yet very little examination of the claims of both Mr. Iroko and Mr. Umar. The case should revolve around proving and disproving the following:

1) That Mr. iroko named his dog after his hero, the president. (hard to disprove since there might not be tangible evidence for intent)
2) That Mr. iroko named his dog after Mr. umar's father. (umar will have to provide evidence of previous altercation or eye witnesses since iroko denies this)
3) That Mr. iroko wrote the name on his dog and walked the dog through ketere market(eye witness account only way to prove this plus a detailed sequence of the event including the exact day and time. Mr. iroko will have to provide an alibi if he denies the act)

Personally, I think making this simple civil case into a case against the president shows exactly why our courts don't work and might never work. This is a simple case (even though there were allegations of threat to public peace) and a magistrate should be able to adjudicate here. Making it all about the president or 'reckless northerners' or 'provocative ibos' is simply missing the point


And I doubt that Mr. Iroko would have the courage to walk the dog through that market. ketere market runs the lenght of a hundred metres with stalls on both sides belonging to northerners. it is a small and compact market where hardly a word of English is spoken. A stroll through the market feels like a stroll through the streets of kano. though, there is a strong ibo presence (boutiques and electronic stores) in the areas around ketere, I doubt Mr. iroko would have the effrontery to pull off what he was accused of. I also doubt that Mr. Iroko considers the president his hero.....

But those are my thoughts. what matters is the courts verdict. why don't we stop all these sentimental gymnastics and focus on the facts of the case.

As for the shoddy way in which the NPF handled this case. Its no surprise that over the decades, no one has had to play the ethnic card in other to criticize the force. The tongue lashing is uniform.....and well deserved.

Jeez! Equatorial Assignment!! I found the book in my dad's bookshelf! I read it so many times that all the actions are etched in my memory. That was the first time I'd be knowing anything about Kenya. The book was simply superb. Funny enough, like the last 10 pages were missing, which means I still don't know what happened at the end. cry
wow! wow! wow! so much information hidden somewhere in my head. isn't equatorial assignment about a guy that took on a mission to rescue a girl from some tribe like that. they were given a hot chase as they escaped. tell me I'm right please!

Point of correction. Social media did not fück up anything. This is life. It's called advancement. Asking for anything less is technically, retrogression.

I'm sure if you were to asked by someone now to start watching only B&W TV or start using those gramophones that our parents used to do Alanta, you will tell the person what tha fückkk?!!!

So that's just the way it is. Today we have Facebook and Twitter. Tomorrow who knows... But does that mean we will keep on longing for the good ol' days?

Hell no!

I say forward ever; backward never!
I beg to disagree with you. reading is totally different from the browsing we do on the internet these days. the writers of old told stories that broadened our horizons and shed more light on the world as we grew up. some things I couldn't learn from my parents or my teachers, I learnt in these books. the confidence to mull over a new word, and decide that I could know its meaning by context, I learnt in these books. reading elechi amadi,emecheta,Achebe,obi in a way made me understand ibo friends even before I met them.
the internet can give all these. but right now, it doesn't. there's too much gossip and irrelevancies. too much noise. too much fawning over other people's lives and lifestyles. what we are saying is that there needs to be more literature, be it books, in print or in whatever form. it's not a call to revert to the stone age.

The boy slave was about Shettima who was kidnapped and sold to a faraway land. He became friends with the prince of the land after he saved him from a ferocious guard's horsewhip. The sequel was The return of the boyslave.
Koku Baboni I think was about a baby placed in a basket and dumped in a forest.

My favourite was "second chance".. I read that book so many times. Rich Mina Erein and poor Richard Pepple with their twin girls cheesy
yeah. Richard was a strict parent while the girl brought up by Mina was spoilt. I can't quite remember how the book ended

That list is just official, you could probably discuss your pocket with the inlaws. Many would remove and reduce the cost.
i've been told the same by a friend of mine from owerri.
but still, I can't imagine having to negotiate some of those stuff with my future in-laws.

The list is okay because a woman that is properly bred deserves more than what is contained in the list
I beg to differ. Nothing on that list is for the bride. it's all for her parents and siblings.
Marriage should not be a means to rip off anyone. imagine generator and 10 litres of fuel on the list....
