A man who desires all these things would not be able think about God with his clouded mind.

Becomerich, I like you very much and I like your wisdom. I want you to start at least 5 threads everyday. Thank you.

I have been trying to educate , you young people. I should not do this. Event of 1960 to date should be part of history in Nigeria school.

IBB should be studied in schools. And this is one of the reason, I think IBB should not run. If he run and loss. It is not to his own benefit. His involvement should be advisor. His son is nearly about to turn 40, few years. Even fashola was a student and fashola just gave his child in marriage. So it tell you generation issue is involve.

One of the Class that should be studies is the mind of IBB. It should be about the scientific study of his mind. How he plan event. Look young people. Most coup in Nigeria were plan in the brain of IBB. He was involve in several military take over. They should store his brain in a museum when he dies. Ask your parent about IBB and his many plan. And how he plans every moves. That why they call him maradona. Do not under estimate IBB.

He is a master planner.

Anybody that tries to choose a girl from you based on two written lines on the internet doesn't like you.

I love this part

"I'm heading out there now, because I've seen a gap in the market, the cattle market at Oluwainshola, that is. They say that, what with Gabriel doing his thing with the blood, nothing is wasted, every part of the animal is used – apart from the hair, that is, which is thrown away. I'm thinking there's got to be something you can do with a cow's hair isn't there? Hair extensions? Wigs? For wags?
"

Reminds me of this part from Upton Sinclair's The Jungle
""They don't waste anything here," said the guide, and then he laughed and added a witticism, which he was pleased that his unsophisticated friends should take to be his own: "They use everything about the hog except the squeal." In front of Brown's General Office building there grows a tiny plot of grass, and this, you may learn, is the only bit of green thing in Packingtown; likewise this jest about the hog and his squeal, the stock in trade of all the guides, is the one gleam of humor that you will find there."

I love the opening by Vocal Slender

"Well, my name is Eric . . . Obuh - AKA "Vocal Slender" from Lagos, Nigeria. We are in the dumpsite. You can see, now, the people, the scavengers are following the bus to select some scrap from the refuse. . . and very soon I'm joining them."

Such charisma and charm he has, even while "selecting."

More than anything, I'm happy the young musician now has a shot at living a better life and moving away from the slums. Lovely.

But this hypocrisy is not something positive either, it is rather something almost unavoidable at this stage of human existence. This is the age of materialism where the desire to make money trumps spirituality and, consequently, empathy in man.

Men are less likely to feel what others feel and to put themselves in other people's shoes. There's a business-like formalty about the whole thing. A man goes to a market and buys from a girl who's yet a teenager, he haggles with her like an adult, pays her, and departs. In a pre-materialistic society, things would have been different; he'll probably ask for her name, ask why she's not in school, and ask about her parents.

I won't call it hypocrisy as the word "hypocrisy" itself denotes something negative. The tendency of middle class Nigerians to repress memories of the slums and forget about poorer people itself is very much instinctive and perfectly human. This is because a middle class Nigerian himself is striving hard and working hard to feed himself and his family, to such a man, that state is poverty. He essentially - unintentionally - banishes any thoughts about poorer people and doesn't like to be reminded of them.

n-guage:

The OP hasn't corrected this thread yet. Please correct the thread and the title.

I demand the mods PLEASE delete this thread or change the thread title because it's slanderous and the original poster has backtracked on his earlier claims.
btw Stanley signed a 4 year contract with Almeria in Spain. Hello to bad belle people. Watch this space, this guy, with a little bit of polishing, will have a shot at the world's best player title in 4-5 years.

Ha! This is from 2 years ago. OP's probably had a baby now for another man who's not even part of this story.

You'll have to think well and solve this for yourself sister. No matter how much you tell us about their personalties, even if you choose to attach their pictures, only you know what you want and you should reason hard while also trusting in God - if you believe in God.

I think the part about emotionality may not be very accurate as you may be downplaying his romantic side - not because you've chosen to mislead us, but because you expect more from him. As a friend of mine says, there are women who'll rather have a man saying "I love you" while kicking them than a man who shows love but says nothing. While your partner's words are important, his actions are more important. Also you have to know that the other guy who's super-romantic now will cut down the romance as soon as you know him for a while.

I also think your parents know why they prefer the new guy and why they think the other one is arrogant. Maybe he is, maybe he is just the quiet type. You should know him by now. Ask him questions without nagging, this is the way to communicate, this is obviously something missing in your relationship so far. Goodluck, may God guide you.

Funny, I have a very very similar story. A girl I met during orientation too, we hung out a few times and she actually once asked me what I wanted from her (even though she had a bf). At some point, I  never saw her again, I also wasn't able to get through to her. But anyway, 2 semester later, she calls me and she told me had to take a break from school, she was having some issues. Nowadays we're very close, she calls me a lot, loves being around me and I hold her in high regards too. No relationship though, she feels like a sister at this point and I'm sure she sees me as a brother too.

It is normal for you to be curious when someone just starts avoiding you. You want to know why, what you did and what she's thinking. Especially when it's unexpected. Your inability to find answers to this questions is what's making you angry. But anyway, you have to train yourself to stop being curious about every bit in life and when the answers are not forthcoming in situations like this, retreat to your own peaceful place.

The post about similar problems that are different gave it away really. I'm happy I'm not giving you any problems anyway, you're not giving me any problems either.

bluespice:

it's funny how another person's problems could be so similar yet distinctively different from yours

Are you having boy problems too?

Mummy ki la ma je ni ale yi? (Mother, what are we having for dinner?)
Ounje (Food)

I think it's unethical for an homosexual person to get into an heterosexual relationship without telling the partner about his homosexuality.

Ha. Okay o. I'll sleep tonight but thank God you're done with this man, search within yourself now and find personal peace.

Honest question here. You may answer it and delete right away. How many men have you had something with - not necessarily a full relationship - in the past 10 months?

Maybe I'm on to something here. . . Platinum is Morenike's bf. Makes sense.

are y'all having boy problems?

Goodness, platinum, wetin dey with the puking baby?

I do know you. People say I'm a fast learner But really, think about my love proposition.

Nah but I bet you won't mind marrying a barber if he makes 7 figures.

more than that. But if you go to him because of his money, he'll turn you down. . . and make you bald.

So what do you want? Money? men? love? everything? He has it all. But ma'am, have few desires if you want to feel less blue.

FL Gators:

Is the owner 6'5 gorgeous piece of chocolate? Does he make 7-figs per year?

Oh he is everything you want and then some. You don't need his money though, with his love, he'll satisfy you.

Hey baby fl, if you need some love, love doctor prescribes it. I can't give it, you'll need to go to the love pharmacy for that. The owner of love is love and he gives love out freely.

ayettymama:

looool

i started from season 1
watched 15 episodes in one day

time well wasted!

What a way to use your easter break.

Ha! I see but I hope that's a joke. . . the bit about making enemies deliberately. You think hate can mix with love to make a balanced diet? Love isn't sugar, too much of it is not bad. Infact, as your love doctor, I prescribe love to you. Take 1000 doses a day, inhale it, inject it, swallow it, acquire it by all means. That will definitely stop you from feeling blue.

And I'll pretend like you didn't call me fat.

Too bad you won't stop listening to me. See, let's forget about the fact that you look good . . . . see that's quite difficult. But anyways, you should forget about enemies except you're deliberately making enemies yourself. But if you live in love, no use for paranoia.

Your enemies? Is it possible for a pretty girl like you to have enemies? The guys want to get close and the girls want to ask you questions about how you look so good.
