Wow this girl is really beautiful.

Girl?? :oShe's a woman.A married mother of two including a 14 year old girl.
She does look really cute though.

NifemiOlu:
So
Guys, even if you're earning 15k, provided you're smart, focused and with goodwill on your side, you will make it. That's sure.

The bolded is very important. You tick it,then of course!
after all,I would not sit my butt and be living off his money .Marriage is about team work, contribute your quota and I'll contribute mine.

The bolded has to be fulfilled though.

kestolove95:
So wat. Went wrong?

The population went wrong.The population has tripled and no of cars have increased by 10 folds.

njays24:
ok thanks for your help.

It's not 23401.That's the country/city phone code
Postcode is different from country code.It's like the PO box address of your area.The information is for mailing purposes.
Though Nigerian houses don't usually have a post code.You could check Google to see the post code of the area.

Nothing surprising here.She got married at 18 so lost her virginity at that age .No big deal.

egobetatoday:
today is mothering sunday not Mothers day.
mothers day is a day in the month of May.
mothering sunday is a sunday in the period of lent (fasting) for celebrating christian mothers.

Different countries have different dates for Mother's Day/Mothering Sunday ( they can be used interchangeably)

Today is Mother's Day in Nigeria, UK and Ireland. The one in May is for other countries including America.

dsauce:
hmmmm,well thanks pals for ur advices. One thing i know certainly is dat dis company wouldn't want NAFDAC to get hold of d bottle cos it means heavy fine n maybe even suspension for them. Note that d batch code is still written bodly on d bottle, Please u guys saying we will just waste money on this case are wrong cos we plan taking up d services of a human rights activist lawyer who is ready to protect individuals without paying a dine. I don't av to take d drink den cause am to me bfre suing dem, or can a dead man sue?

As a trained microbiologist,and having worked at a similar drink producing firm bfre (Nigerian Brewery), for industrial attachment, i can assure that all d products produced in dat batch is highly contaminated with various pathogenic bacteria cos of d poor quality control measures during production..

Your're smart especially regarding the emboldened.

I guess they would try to negotiate with you to settle out of court but most importantly not have this publicised or reported to the high power(NAFDAC).
Therefore, I wouldn't advice that this be swept under the rug.The company has a duty of ensuring consumer safety and have failed in this regard!I know you're doing it for the money but it would be worth encouraging quality assurance so you should follow up the case.


I'm tired of Nigerians not living up to their rights!Keeping mum about every wrong under the guise of the phrase "This is Nigeria".
You have to earn a better country if you want it and that begins with an action!

safarigirl:
if you must make corrections, do so politely or hold your peace. Those are minor mistakes that don't mean shiiit in the long run

I've been posting on this site long before you even knew what NL was and if I wanted to be a journalist, my over 70 topics here would be enough for a very good CV.

Once again, next time state your case politely or shut up and leave

Sorry if I came off as being rude.
Do well to correct the mistakes though! and there's no such thing as minor error in media .

Peace

PS..learn to be polite in your reply too!

The information on this thread is misleading..For starters, Rita Dominic and Ini Edo have been on the screen well over a decade!The first time I saw Rita was in the 1998 movie "fugitive" and that I bet was not her first.

Secondly. Omotola has four kids ,not five!

All these wannabe journalists that post incorrect information sef.
How do you expect to rise to the top if you're already doing so badly in your formative years ?

If you want to hide something from the average Nigerian, hide it in a book.

Can't you lot read before asking stupid questions?

The child with her is her nephew!

MsPat:
The length to which mothers would satisfy their kids ehn.....God bless them!

FYI.....she's just a carrier not the biological mom.....numbskulls!

You're mean

It's either some people didn't read the article or simply don't understand the term "surrogacy".smh.

I must commend the mother , she's really selfless.

Not something , I'd ever imagine myself doing though.
You want a child, knock up a woman.shikena!

If she's a jewellry person, you could get her a jewellry set and a customized card( emphasizing her importance in your life in the last 1 year)
Or
You could take her out on a date - like you did when you started dating (eg a candlelit dinner ).You should make it a surprise if you wanna do this - it would be romantic.
Or
If you're not the type that cook often.You could make the date venue your house, surprise her with some of your home-made meals and treat her like a queen generally.

These are gestures that could be appreciated as much as physical gifts.

kolawaxxy:
sexkillz! welcome back bro

He's not sexkillz!he's an imposter .

I must commend his effort in trying to clone Sexkillz though, a pity his brain gave him away.

Sexkillz's comments are way smarter

No offence meant

THE POST-GRAD COCKTAIL

“Before the end of my study at Columbia College, I had got admission in New York University, Columbia University, University of Chicago and the University of Washington for my Masters. I settled for Washington because I loved their curriculum. For me, the content was more important to me than the name of the school. I got an 85% scholarship at Washington University and proceeded with my masters. In 2012, I won the Congressional Fellowship at the Capitol Hill. I was attached to the office of a Republican senator and we (the senator’s team) worked our asses off! It was the year of abortion debates and Obamacare. I learned to do thorough research and to be diplomatic. It was quite an experience. I began my masters the August of 2012 and I finished July 2013. I built my own curriculum and handpicked my courses to meet the total required number of units in the faculty. As much as I could I made my course inter-disciplinary – combining courses from Social Work and the Business School.”

THE CANCER

In 2010, Omotola was diagnosed of cancer. Early detection helped she consistently took treatment till the growth was dissolved. All through the treatment, she focused on the goals she had set in front of her. She lived with a sharp awareness that with every tick of the clock, her life was on the line. The realization of her mortality drives her to redeem time, always! I do not talk much about the cancer; somehow it reminded me of my cross.

In 2013, Omotola returned home and started the Jumpstart Academy, an educational organization that sought to complement the effort of government in the area of education. The academy takes specific interests in every student enrolled with it and the Academy follows-up on them.

Then in 2014, she was nominated for the MTN show "who wants to be surprised" and went home with the grand prize of 50million naira!

"Take charge of your life. Walk on water…maybe you can defy gravity. Take that first step today."

I had just settled into school with part of my fees paid, when my father called me to inform me that Nigerian stock market had crashed. Since everything my father had saved to train me with in the US was reduced to nothing, I decided to come back home. My father encouraged me to stay in the US and promised to raise the money but things didn’t go as he had planned. Paying my school fees became hard and it began to tell in fatal ways when I couldn’t register for my next semester courses. Luckily, I was able to call in a few favours and the school policy of not registering until 50% of the fees was paid was waived for me. A new session crawled in and no good news came from home.

Things began to look so bad as the debts piled up.

By the end of my sophomore my debts had accumulated to $20,000! ”

Omotola rubs her neck and squeezes her face as she talks about the depth of the financial mess she suddenly found herself in a strange man’s land.

She continues:

“I approached the Reverend of the church I attended and asked if she knew any member of the congregation who needed a help around their house. At that moment, I needed someplace to lay my head so desperately. So I asked the Reverend for people who would take me into their homes while I did the work in the house and still went to school. That, my dear, was how I met Ellen Parker. Ellen Parker was a widow and was without a child. She was a white woman and she lived in the biggest house on the street. Ellen took me into her house but not on my terms. She made her house my home and she didn’t let me do any chores as I had planned.

Ellen took me as a child; on bad winter days she’d drive me to school.”

Tola smiles

“One day at school, I was called by the Dean and told that all my outstanding debts had been paid! The Dean told me that a certain woman – Ellen Parker – had come by the school to pay off the debt. I dashed home to warn her about a possible scam. Glowingly, she admitted that she made the payment. She asked me to never hesitate to ask for anything I needed from her from that moment onward. Ellen had found out about my outstanding school debts and had singlehandedly cleared it! I stared in disbelief. It was unimaginable that a woman that I had only known due to circumstances paid my debt of $20,000 without being asked to. It was a miracle.

In 2011, I graduated from Columbia College with a GP of 3.8 out of 4.0.”

THE GIRL, OMOTOLA
Omotola Akinsola, born 24 years ago, did not start life on a bed of roses, born to a family of inter-religious pedigrees, Tola learned to be a part of two belief systems – Christianity and Islam – and yet, not let them clash.

“We used to live in Yemetu, a face-me-I-face-you. We had two rooms, one was a bedroom and the other was a sitting room in the day and a sleeping space at night. My father took the whole wing,” Tola reminisces.

“When I was to attend secondary school, I asked my parents to let me attend a public school, I didn’t want to be different from the other children in our neighborhood at Yemetu. I wanted to be like them, to have the same life they had. I didn’t want to feel privileged. After striking a deal with my dad, he conceded. So I was admitted into St. Louis Grammar School, Mokola as a boarder. However, education in the public school was just as horrible as my father had predicted. By my J.S.3, things got so bad at school. The sins of our seniors were visited on us, the juniors; the results of our junior school leaving exams were withheld. It was upon this nerve-wracking episode that my father, honorably, pulled me out of St. Louis Grammar School, and put me in the International School, Ibadan (ISI) where I had my senior school education”

ISI was a tough time in my life’s journey. I repeated my first year in ISI and I had to make a choice between staying back in ISI and repeating S.S.1 or leaving for another school and still repeating S.S.1. I chose to stay back in ISI but I had no idea what I was signing up for. I resumed to the dazing reality that I had to walk past the SS2 class every time I had lunch break; that was a pretty awful. It was a hard period of sneers and jeers from my former mates every lunch time. It was a dark period in my life but I survived. As I approached SS3, I had made my desire to not study in Nigeria a major talk in my house. I could take any country – the UK or the US – but not Nigeria. Because of this, my father began to save money towards sending me abroad; he invested in shares. Once I completed my secondary school education, I made up my mind to school in the US and so I took the SAT and TOEFL. I got admitted into Columbia College but in June of 2008 when I was planning to leave for the US, tragedy struck. My sister died!”

“June 13, my sister died. She died on the same day that my father returned from Botswana on a brief visit from his sabbatical leave. The death hit the family hard; it was totally unexpected and devastating. Rising from the tragedy, I delayed my resumption in the US till winter and moved with my dad to Botswana so I could stay with him through the moment of our loss. While in Botswana, I attended Queens University of Creative Studies. There, I enrolled for Public Relations and did a semester.”

THE ELLEN PARKER MIRACLE

“In December 2008, I moved to the US.


To be continued..

This is an hypothetical situation highlighting the inexistence of sex.

The answer to the question is an emphatic yes, relationships would thrive without sex..

Would you desire what you never knew ? How would people have any knowledge of sex if it didn't exist?

Did man survive when there were no cars?

Op your husband obviously sees nothing wrong with it so it would be quite difficult to change, not impossible but difficult.

You said you tried to play his game at him but I believe you didn't play it well.Many people don't know how it hurts until they find themselves in the exact situation.

I can tell you he didn't seem bothered because he was convinced you were doing it out of spite and not actually because you were checking out a guy.
Most men are naturally jealous ,so for him not to have reacted, he knows you were playing a very obvious psychology on him

Here's an idea
You've complained and it hasn't yielded anything,now stop complaining.
When next he ogles and involves you, actively participate, in fact drop one or two comments ( not snide).
This is the way psychology works, when he's under the impression that you've accepted him for who he is and warmed into his habit.You then play his game back at him.

A scenario " honey, on my way back from work today , I saw a really pretty lady- got some junk in the trunk and some good bosoms but that wasn't what got me ..You needed to see her guy, Omg! The guy oozes sexiness all over..gosh , I was just staring o..The guy is foinnnee!"

Note, do not go over the top with this-nothing personal to indicate you're lusting.Just give the impression that you're admiring God's creation.

Trust me, with time - he would begin to feel the bitter taste of his own medicine.

Good and informative piece.

He failed to mention the most common yet disregarded mental health problem

Depression

Depression is a psychological problem that affects about 1 in 4 people and has been identified as the third most prevalent moderate and severe disabling condition globally by the World Health Organization.



There is no known main cause of depression as it can stem from an environmental, genetic, social , physiological point.

A WHO report states that Depression if left untreated will be the second cause of disability and premature death by the year 2020.

Hence ,when people are feeling constantly sad ,worried, apathetic and cannot do anything about it so much that is impairs their normal activities ,they should be encouraged to get help from mental health experts.

pretydiva:
add up all d bday's u ve celebrated since u were born,d amt u spent on all is nt even half compare 2 wat dis man spent jst 4 dis bday

That's an insult to chief Harry Akande !

The amount he's spent in his entire life cannot be compared to a tenth of what was spent on this birthday party.

Whatever happened to patient confidentiality? Isn't it one of the ethics governing the medical profession?

The decision to divulge patient information to a partner should be with the express consent of the patient.That's where counselling comes to play .

During patient counselling, the MD should highlight the importance of sharing the information with the patient's partner and guide her towards making an informed decision in that regard!

Besides, why should Mr husband's result be concealed ?I guess the husband is hiding something as well otherwise he should come out with his result!

From a humanistic point of view, the news could be overwhelming for both parties, especially the husband in the event he's HIV - .
In this case(and otherwise), the need for counselling ,both medical and marital cannot be overemphasized, hence it's an option that is highly recommended.

That's extremely silly of her!

Her outfit is so inappropriate! This isn't even about modesty,this is about common sense! which she obviously lacks

I'm more interested in how the statistical data was conceived.

Before you talk about average in a country ,the sample data should be sizeable and random .

If the statistics was conceived through a questionnaire, then I'm sorry ,it's not credible!

neoapocalypse:
like what ? no one is certain for sure what happened and your theories might actually be wrong

For starters, observe the environment ,it's difficult to believe she assumed that position unaided .
If you claim she stood on the lower fence ,notice the plank that's across the fence,which means she couldn't have maintained an upright position.

Now, let's assume she squatted to get the rope around her neck, descending to that position would not have been subtle as there is no support. It wouldn't have been without a forceful leap,hence you should expect to see some signs of impact with the concrete, scratches or blood stain.

This , in addition to the observations by others just make the suicide claim doubtful.

This looks more like a murder case.There's everything wrong with the pictures to dismiss it as a suicide case .

May her soul rest in peace.

olasha1:
its very very possible, as i am a living example of this..met her on facebook since 2011 not seen until June 9th 2013 and to God be d glory we have a lovely daughter on june 31st 2014..till now we are happy together.funny but the truth

Beautiful !


Your daughter trumped daddy and mummy in her fashion sense thou...see swag! She's really cute.

ekhai:
Stop spreading falsehood. By UK educational standard, this girl should be in year 4 i.e primary 4. You must be six years old before you are admitted to start primary. Without finishing primary and high school, she is admitted to the University. Na wa for Op. Pls confirm from your relations in the UK if this is possible.

I think it's a symbolic admission - come on, the girl attempted only A level maths and got into uni, impossible!I guess it's simply a way of recognising her brilliance .
She's probably not going to get a real degree but be made to attempt some degree level mathematics.
That's why her admission was limited to an open university.

This is really creative .I will sure visit your link.Your taster is so good leaving me hungry for more.

Most "visit my blog" posters need to learn from this op ,abeg.

May God heal Folake!

I really want to contribute something but I'm not based in Nigeria.Kingolaola would you be able to receive a western union transfer? - you must have a form of national identification to do that.

Folake is in my prayers.
Just lost a family friend to cancer on Saturday so this is really painful but I believe your sister shall be healed .

A big thank you to everyone that has contributed in cash and kind.The spirit of oneness in giving on this forum is admirable .May God bless you all

Guy feeling fly..The girl isn't stupid ,she tatooed xclusive , a general adjective .

It's like someone tatooing naira and Seun (nairaland) being over the moon

I'm surprised everyone is ignoring the derogatory reference to the beneficiary. What the hell is "errand boy"?
Is it a way of showing his pseudo magnanimity- at the expense of the young man?
I see it more as a mocking remark than anything else.

Some of these artists need to grow up!

I'm not in the least impressed.

aisha2:
Whats demonic about that post? If she was full at home will she look outside? Do you want to break him home? The man should humble himself and learn what is sweeting her outside jor abi does the other man have two peni-s?
Who wants to eat egusi everyday?

I was trying to give this comment as much likes as possible but alas! only one like is allowed.
You must be a carpenter, hian! they are the only ones with this sort of precision in nailing it!

It is good for the goose, it can only be better for the gander.
