Almondjoy,
stillwater,
you guys are right. But if you look at the TV channels today you would noticed that they keep smuggling useless adverts and programme into the midst of education programmes. And most of the education programmes on Nigerian airwaves are actually entertainment programmes on the outlook. Check them out.

As for radio. That is a bit better in a way. You can easily control it. But it equally has similar effect as tv except that it is not as impactful as the tv.

Have you ever wonder why students with mp3 plugged 24hr to their ears were always attempting JAMB more than once? How many of such mp3 addicts has exceptional accademic record?

While I tries to avoid generalisation, the fact remains that tv and radios are being used more for entertaiment lately than education. They are becoming nuisance to the society.

Winnergal,
TV indeed makes people dumb. It may be thought to educate in conception but in reality, it actually entertains. Watching too much tv stiffle creativity and handicap reasoning faculty. Yet, I conceed that you can learn from tv. However, you may be surprised to find that much of what you learn are gabbages that are hard to disposed of.

Take a time to watch any of those channels with open mind, and you would find that their programmes offer so much rubbish. Except news, that is information, I don't see any positive impact of tv.

It would be of interest to note that, tv today had become commercial ventures. Therefore producer try to outwit one another by introducing hypnotic programmes that makes viewers stay glue to the station. The negative effect of this is that, you find out that you are addicted for no apparent reasons. This takes your quality time and blurs your creativity. This observation become dangerous when we consider the fact that it effect last longer than the duration spent in front of tv.

I think in my opinion, tv, when watched for too long outlive their usefulness and make people dumb.

The pessimists versus optimists!

@poster,
give her a second chance. From your own word, she probably met the guy before you. That she ended up with you show that she favour you. That she told you what you might never have known means she was sorry. Be a man. Forgive and forget. Then watch her closely to ensure she'd changed for the best.

Someone should move the topic to romance section. You won't find the wise men you seek here. Wise men don't search for jobs everytime.

RomanceRe: Temptation! by olanajim(m): 11:26pm On Feb 10, 2008
Seriously, it was my past. My life story. I didn't find it funny when it happened. It was like "everybody is doing it, why not me?" but being shy, I must admit saved me from joining them. Beside, I was always thinking of hellfire!

I therefore won't brag about it. It takes the grace of God to escape temptation. I empathises with the guy because, I know how he is feeling.

On the pepper seller, it is their destiny. I am not responsible for their bad luck. Ironically one of them was intelligent at school. I mean the one with two kids for two men. I wonder what led her to perdition.

You see, sex can be destructive spiritually and psychologically if done to someone you don't have commitment to. Why do you think joseph opted to go to prison than fornicate? Why did Samson lost his reasoning and physical power after sleeping with a cunning lady? Why did David lost his grip on power after sleeping with lady he was not married to? Why did Jesus maitained his spiritual purity for that long? Why? Why? Why?

Behind the fall of a powerful man is the vicious hand of a woman!

Those pepper sellers, ruined their career by sleeping with guys. They were blessed with babies and NOT AIDS. They have the cause to thank God. As for the aristos who regularly flush their wombs, to escape justice, they paid dearly for it in other ways. Inability to get pregnant, bareness, lost of dignity, broken homes, and useless children. . . .

The oracle has spoken!

Gentleaura,
Laws are meant for the idiots. Fortunately a bill to that effect is in National Assembly, dancing orobokibo on the hallow chamber. Let hope it is passed . I hope that someday such people would be checked.

Naja Haje,
well, being gentle mustn't be conceived as weakness. The lady nearly brought me into a scandal. Thank God, I didn't have gf that would have complicated it. I am also shy. But, that shyness had to be dumped in the dustbin when my integrity is at stake. I didn't add that I was a Man o' war member. So it definitely mean I could as well turn her to training pitch. But I didn't lift a hand. I don't think violence against women or anybody is justified under any circustance. There are better options.

Adeboo,
exactly. That would would make the lady look like a slowpoke. Still, the guy should watch out for Love portion and seductive acts from the lady and take precautions. That is the only thing that can weaken his resolve to keep her off.

Let him arrange for his girlfriend to visit at least once. It would be a great moment.

So the babe get Eagle eyes? Unless she is a witch. I see nothing extra ordinary in a lady stirring at her rival. It is very normal. That is trait of insecured ladies. In fact, she is dangerous. A potential candidate for jealousy. If your friend is man enough, he would stop her. Ignoring her would make her silently die of frustration.

Just warn your friend not to eat her food or drink. He must sit on his chair without cleaning it. Just in case . She may end up us using love concoction on him.

RomanceRe: Obsessed Lover. by olanajim(m): 11:49pm On Feb 09, 2008
About 4 years ago, I had a lady giving me that kind of treatment. What I did are as follow:

1. I ignored her and went on blind dates. I show off female pals to her as my lovers. My pals undersand.

In your friend case, let him openly show love and affection to his babe right in the presense of the impostor. Is she has any dignity, she would read the sign.

2. In my case, the lady later saw through my deceiption. She intensified her efforts thinking I was shy. I invited her to talk, first in private, and told her I wasn't interested in what she wanted. I lectured her like my sister. She didn't leave me alone. Then I brought a withness to be there. Again she went ahead and met my mum. She introduced herself as my fiance! I was livid with rage when I heard this. Since I don't live with my mum, I gave her my last warning. Unfortunately for her and her advisers, I came to visit my mum unexpectedly. And I went for the last option.

3. Kick her out of your life! I have never been harsh to a lady before but I had to do it! I sent her out of the house even against my mum wish in front of our guests. It was enough humiliation for her to stop coming.

I don't get angry easily but I don't like stubborn intruder.

@poster,
why not try the steps? Don't use the last step until the situation become hopeless.

Don't beat her no matter what. It would make you look like a coward.

Kai! Did I really posted yoruba today? My first a long time. Well, Booyaya, I didn't ask the guy to fornicate. I want him to learn from and avoid it. If at all he must get a partner, she mustn't be among those calling him "chicken". That is the best way to shame them. That was what I did.

I remember one of the incidences. My the lady told me infront of over 50 people that I was okobo! I was mad at her. But did nothing. I was one of the seniors then. 2 guys actually went to the store to "do it" one of them picked the lady. In school compound! I was stunned. They challenged me to "go in and prove" that I am a man. What would I do? To keep my face, I started preaching! In the end, the called me a fool and left me alone. That did it. I knew I wasn't a fool. I cried at home because of the shame and avoided the guys. To be stronger, I join karate club and attend boxing training after school. By the time the ruthless man in me start showing, my traducers learn to show me respect. I didn't have gf or try to have till I left the school. Since they Know Iam now a boxer, they stop making jest of me. I wasn't that strong but i exagerated my strenght to scare away idiots among them.

I am single not lonely and I enjoy every bit of it.

And what happen to the lady that taunted me? At the last meeting, I met one of them selling pepper at a lagos market sometimes ago. One sells eggs and had kids for two guys. Both single mothers. That is the end of temptress. Beware!

Booyaya,
Emi o gbo yoruba o. Omo mola nimi. Tipatipa ni mo findau o. Ema koba mi. Akoba adaba gafara!

Adeboo,
like I said in my first post, I went through similar experience. I won't have to tell him everything beyond that. Aabo oro laaso f'omoluabi. Toba de inu e, adi odindin. In my life, I have discovered that not everyone that seeks advice actually want to heed it. Some of them had made up their minds before coming online. Those who genuinely need advice would ask further question on knotty issues. That is why I sometime mingles sarcasm with the truths. I am sure wise men would see beyond the sarcasm. And people seeking advices would inquire about the area that are not clear. Or somebody would get it sort out. I got loads of IM on my YIM at times from some seeking clarification. But I am not wiser than anybody. Just a "mola" guy doing his thing.

Dating And Meet-up ZoneRe: Lust Verus Love by olanajim(m): 8:09pm On Feb 09, 2008
And that for any real love to occur, it must have graduated from LUST to COMMITMENT. And it is always true. Real love can't hurt you!

What then causes heartbreaks? Why would lovers cheat on one another? What do lovebirds ended up breaking up?

These questions have straight answers.

Everyone notice the silence evil: INFATUATION. That is the culprit and not lust. Lust that is driven by greed, insincerity and and desires for physical gratification with not intention for commitment, is INFATUATION. Identifying infatuation is quite simple but requires alot of will power and self-control. Unfortunately, that is what most people lack.

INFATUATION NEVER LEAD TO COMMITMENT.
It can play on for years undetected.
It can leads to marriage. But the marriage will either lose steam after the consumation or the culprit would cheat on partner.

After lust driven by infatuation had been gratified, the culprit start losing interest in the affair. A wise partner should cut it off or await heartbreak.

In conclusion, commitment stage is the most important stage everyone should look for. That is when you would know whether the LUST is driven by LOVE or INFATUATION.

It is instructive to note that time interval between the stages varies. Depending on individual and their ability to have sincere communication.
Dating And Meet-up ZoneRe: Lust Verus Love by olanajim(m): 7:52pm On Feb 09, 2008
On a serious note. Most people are ignorance of what it mean to love. At times, I laughs when I hear people defining lust as if it is evil. To the contrary, there is no love without lust. That is the basic fact most people ignored. Lust, therefore is the basic ingredient needed for love to grow. What is lust?

It means a "violent desire to possess sth".

And love means: "strong affection and tender feeling to or for sth".

Therefore, to love, you must strongly(violently if possible) desire that person. If there is no desire, the love won't ever come in. That is logical.

Love grows from lust. That is when we strongly desire somebody or someone after the first contact. The contact can be physical, or emotional. It could also be result of communication. This contact, stimulates the brain, stirs it and create lust in the body through the nervous systems which promptly relay the stimuli to the sense organs. The eyes, ears, and your phallus. One or all of these pick up the signal causing accelerated heartbeat.

The individual may or may not be aware of these effect. If he follow the impulse then come the second stage-COMMITMENT. It is at this stage that the victims of lust decides to "get together" and relate. At that point, the knowledge they gather from knowing one another would be pivotal to development of REAL LOVE. That is when affection and tenderness come in.

Love grows from commitment. Real love occur ONLY when you know your partner well. And at that stage, you can literarily dies for him or her!

Real Love often leads to marriage or very painful seperation.

Ironically, most of the so-called heartbreaks were never from real love. Most people, spend years lusting after one another and call it love! Most marriage that break easily were founded upon lust and NOT love!

From my experience, it takes a wise man to recognize true love. Love, true love, is always based on knowledge of the opposite sex.
