I was taught so in primary school using a rhyme that goes thus "never eat your meat before your food".....just an excerpt

carefreewannabe: Any man who doesn't know how to cook is dvmb because cooking is easy.

And how can you NOT know how to nurture YOURSELF and depend on others for this to happen?

be showing yourself everywhere and keep supporting fellow women.


lol

MizMyColi: LoL
I should ASAP

off to bed on my part

MizMyColi:
Lolest Dear


When I meet the right person, all those fears'll vamonos.
For now, I should enjoy singlehood all I can.

enjoy single hood cause there is only one chance at it...



by the way, don't you sleep now

GboyegaD: OP, seems your intentions for this post is to mock people who comment and force your beliefs down their throats.

sorry if I displayed that, did not mean to

MizMyColi: I share your sentiments, save for the striked

so even a celebrity here is scared of marriage

crackhaus: This thread is not for me

find your level quickly

in short everyone is considering marriage right

what!!!

chai....

o boy...upgrading things

freshdude2: Have you ever lived in Ghana or is this just nationalistic pride speaking?

guess

freshdude2: That's debatable. And if so, only in certain sectors. As individuals, perhaps, we may be better(I'd rather not use this word); as a society, we're behind. Take the issue of elections for instance.

so

we are better than Ghana in every way

freshdude2: Actually, we share more in common with Ghana than South Africa and 'European heavyweights'. South Africa was developed by Europeans and that says a lot. Even now, blacks run a minute proportion of the economy of South Africa.

enlightening I must say....thank you but we are way ahead of Ghana sha

carefreewannabe: That's why I said, focus on your studies.

alright.

carefreewannabe: Focus on your studies. Be the best you can be and enjoy educating yourself.

Please, don't disappear entirely from NL, I would miss you a lot.

I won't but time would be limited to internet surfing...I have a diary to update daily as much as I can.

carefreewannabe:

ALWAYS BELIEVE IN YOURSELF! ALWAYS!

BE STRONG!

GOD BLESS YOU!

thank you ma'am...I think my monitoring ends here...very nice tracking you....had fun....wish I could continue but school won't let me although I might make time out just because of you. Would never forget this moniker. Wish I could meet you outside this board.


God bless you

freshdude2: No matter how saintly this political party you're about is, the political landscape of Nigeria will not change. People will frustrate them out of existence. Go to the politics section and laugh-cry your night away. What we need is a Jerry Rawlings-style cleansing. Even then, look at Ghana.

I don't need Ghana to do comparison's... I only use South Africa on the continent and European heavy weights

carefreewannabe: I guess, you are very young so you have plenty of time to become an intellectual. I believe in you and I want you to believe in yourself.

I am not popular either but I have a voice and I know how to make myself being heard. Many people don't agree with me but nobody can deny that I don't challenge their convictions and make them think. Oh well, they can deny it but I won't believe them.

You have the Internet, it is a powerful tool to shape popular opinion. Make use of it. Obama won his campaign because he knew how powerful the Internet can be.

thank you very much ma'am...the belief just strengthened me to do more although am young but not very young..just that the country is frustrating my dreams just that I won't give up cause each time I get hit I return Strong... time to use the internet to make my voice heard.

freshdude2: If Fela could not rouse Nigerians from political coma, I don't know what will. Listen to his "Look and Laugh"

I tell you....I only think that a new political party with good ideologies and new faces might start the needed revolution in politics.

carefreewannabe: @bold

You also have the potential to make a change if by ONLY "preaching".

who will listen to someone who is not an intellectual or popular

eleojo23: [/s]Sir

noted sir...sorry for the mistake

carefreewannabe: First of all, it is my profound sympathy for Nigeria that fills me with anger when I watch the current government.

Secondly, thanks for calling me an intellectual but my intellect is a result of the education Germany offered me. I studied here. I am grateful to this country and I owe them. They have done more for me than my country of origin ever would. I feel very comfortable here and I am not going anywhere. What I can do for a less fortunate country is to sponsor education for children in Africa and to share my knowledge online.

Thirdly, I am a very blunt person. Some people love it, others hate it. I introduce people in Germany to Nigerian food, to Nigerian music, to Nigerian history and literature. I am very proud of Nigerian intellectuals, on and off NL, with whom I boast around (one of them is my boyfriend, by the way) BUT I will not pretend when it comes to the problems the country faces. Sugarcoating them won't help. And it is a fact that the mentality of MANY people is a greater problem than the politicians they currently have. They have the stvpid leaders they deserve for now.

Believe me, it is very annoying for me to have people ask me why Nigerians think that the West sent Ebola to them or why they think that the West has genetically modified apples to make it impossible for them to be grown in Nigeria or to explain to them why child marriage is not fought with a greater force or why a a vast part of the country lives in poverty but Patience visits Germany to see a doctor or or or

I understand you.

Germany gave you education but you don't owe them anything. England gave Mandela education from his gaol room, he used it to better his country you can do the same. Not everyone has the opportunity to study abroad like you. I wish Nigeria could just have better leaders but no, we vote who shares the highest amount of money with little or no regard for ideologies. A lot is wrong with the country as a whole but I still wish her the best.

By the way, I love blunt people cause I can sugar-coat well

carefreewannabe: As you can see, VERY MUCH.

well, I don't think so. There is a reason nigeria is been referred to as a third world country. We are not there yet with the likes of Germany and co... but we will get there someday but how...when intellectuals like you remain abroad and bash the country leaders when actually you can do better or see nothing good in the country, challenge our morals and values at the expense of where you reside ? come back home and change things cause you have what it takes...its a challenge... accept it and win respect from the continent or don't bash us cause things are not as bad as it is portrayed .

eleojo23: I used some of them in my last thread and some others are quite common. Thanks for dropping by.

thanks ma'am
