PTH, that is it. Let her try that. She may be lucky to win again. I would warn her to return to the thread to give a feedback, the problem isn't over by just talking. The solution start there.

A young man, in my office told me he is bleeding inside. He is a cool chap. No fight, no illness. Two days ago, he noticed that when he try to spit phlem, it is blood that come out. Now, the blood is becoming frequent. Yet, no pain. What should he do, Doctor? What is his problem?

Ummm? That is the prevailing practice in Naija, you know?

So you finally agree with yimiton that " whenever you fall, pick up something, ?"

sincerely, the past is not entirely gone unless they had been eventful, boring. Our past mould us into what we are. Our experiences, vision of the past, people in our past, events of the past, friends and foes in our past all combined together to make us what we are, today. Our past may not matter, it haunts us.

By the way where is yimiton?

I think, he is relishing the joy of meeting a virgin. He believes virginity is absolute purity, both sexual and moral so he got stuck to his precious catch.

His mindset go like someone who believes virgin can't be morally corupted. That is a great error!

@ poser, a temperamental lady (perharps you'd exaggerated her action) is a dangerous creature. If you can't cope with her during this period, I think you should think deeply before marrying her. Your home would be on fire. I bet she would be jealous type too. If my thinking is correct, do something now before it is too late. Dialogue, sensible communication, persuasion, You need it all.

Bstreet,
you sure of what you say? People appear to you the way you appear to them. That is the secret.

Ikamefa, you look gentlemanly. I am sure of that. Thanks for breaking iice, she is too cold for comfort.

PTH,
Fortunantely, if you are a true Lagos boy and you visit Oshodi, you will still bring something home. If you don't buy, sell, or steal something, you are either hit or you hit somebody nomatter how slight. If that doesn't happen, you will see people hitting themselves. While doing this, they exposes their creeds, their value. Even a gentleman lose his cool in Oshodi.

Ikamefa,

I don't see anything wrong in Igbo, it is an appetizer, though I wouldn't touch it with a leprosy hands.
Nice meeting you. I warned Babeelove in advance, maybe she'd prepared. Anyway, Ika, what has Igbo to do with your creed?

KObe the the Intellectul ignorance, the girly mam, I am indeed seeing a foggy creed. A fog however can't defeat the sunshine at it best.

Iice, I am still on you. I just want someone to help me bring down your shield. It won't take much time.

Babeelove,
Did I hear you say you have dead again and again on Nairaland? And you are just waking up? You must truly believe in yourself before anyhuman being. Ladies like you take power away from men in the name of freedom.
I just hope that everytime you die, you redeem somebody's sin. We have sinners in Nairaland. You are their potential saviour.

Macgreat,
how great? Take it up.

Laudate,

you seem to be passionate about your defence of monogamy. Sentiment apart, our knowledge and experience sometimes determine our views on issues. Personally, I have the habit of looking at every available options before making my decision. All your observations has meriit. But they are not universally acceptable. The case studies I brought up were real. My own experience inclusive. It is therefore an error for you to think otherwise simply because you haven't witnessed similar event. The overall purpose of sharing is to compare and contrast with view to adopt what best suit your aspiration. I have lived in the north and south, just as I have lived the two homes: polygamy and monogamy. I have seen, the good, the bad, the ugly, and the beauty of the two. My personal preference for monogamy is never the same as you all have been advancing. It just surprised me that so far, most of contributions were based on sentiment and not the reality. I would therefore, as a rule, not personalize my contribution.

Yes, some men marries for humanitarian reasons. But the practice is fading now for many reasons. One of My mentors, who is polygamous once gave me a lecture on marriage. During our discursion, he confided in me why he married the last wife. The man is popular, so people just wonder why he would had a beautiful wife at home and marry an ugly, tribal-marked and poverty striken woman from the village! And that was the last wife. She wasn't even educated! He said, he married her "to give her hope, and give her home. To help her become somebody in life"
That ugly woman who would have remained unmarried is now a grandmother, with a beautiful home and children. There was crisis in the begining, but it is no more.

Muslims, especially those who know the laws do this. It is not just northerners. The south also do it. Like I said, it is fading. Don't call polygamous husbands ignorant. My mentor is educated and hold top position at his work before he retired.

What about them, Omoge?

Alesh4real, you must be strong. I am not giving you job but I can encourage you. I want to meet Cosmas too. I would be glad to meet you since I know Agege.

You are always around. Like a shadow. Never far from the reality. So what is your creed?
What is your ethical value, what ideology guide you in life? Let hear from you.
Over to you KObe.

I think the best thing for you is to sit him down and let him make up his mind once and for all. It is not unusual for lost love to still yearn for one another. A man in control must know where his heart truly dwell. It is a great error for you to leave him without discursing with him. It is a greater error, however, for you to ignore his ex lover's comeback bid. It is a gamble that you must realize may put you on the losing side. Thread with caution. Once you make up your mind, be firm.

Iice, the guy is new. Spare him. I guess something attracted him to you, not just the mirror.

Iice, the guy is new. Spare him. I guess something attracted him to you, not just the mirror.

Point of correction, fatty27, thank God you are new, I am not the sole inventor of NAIRALAND 3-WAY MIRROR. I am just a partner. The Mirror was a fallout of heated conversation between Babeelove, Doyin13 and KObe. These three warring lovers made me devised the Mirror theory. The name was a product of Babeelove restless imagination. So when any of you remember the mirror theory always bear in mind that those great minds were the ingredients that perfect the invention.
Fatty27, beware of iice. She is slippery, she isn't that predictable. Today, she is steaming, burning every careless hands that come in contact, tomorrow she is plain liquid, soothing; yet while you think you have seen it all, the liquid freezes and make you wonder "what next?". Anything can happen. But by the grace of fellow nairalanders we shall soon show her that, gas o, water o, ice o, they get the same components. Her creed is already exposed. At least partially. Thanks to Babeelove. We still need to know more. Especially what she is "dodging".

Babeelove,
announcement admitted. Effective immediately. Only a coward devoid of ethical value would leave without defending his creed or challenge others. I know two things WILL happen. He would either focus his mirror on others, or others would focus theirs on him.

You are challenging too many noblemen, not just gentlemen on nairaland. I hope you have enough energy left to defend yourself, Babeelove.

Dimka? A resurection or a new Dimka? Anyway why call in Millitia? This democracy. Thank God, Coup is no more fashionable in Naija. Else Yar'adua is in soup. Mind you, Millitia had got a sound ethical value. Hidden or exposed, he is one of the noblemen on Nairaland. Just ask him to state his creed and you'll be astounded.

Babeelove,
to your prayer, AMEN AMEN, AMEN. May God increase your vocabulary. And be informed, my mirror is unbreakable.

I think it is time to hear from Dimka, mukina, et al,

iice is a positive pretender, she is fleeing to avoid melting down. Should that happen, those who had labour had to unravel her mystery would finally see the beautiful traits she is hidding beneath.

Truth, they says is so delicate that it must be protected by bodyguard of lies. iice is a student of Machieavellian philosophy. She is the master in Nairaland.

Babelove,
somene said, she "think" you go out of your way to make people's life a nightmare. How do we reconcile that with your beautiful creed? Do you have a preference?

Siena?
We are watching.

iice,
I am realistic enough to know the difference between jests humour, reality, and absurd. Between being specific and generalization. Thanks. The bad news is I won't tell you that you are jesting or otherwise. I may even pretent not to know. Instead, I would rather seek to know if I could learn a lesson or more. At least I can remain in the mirror business. I am happy when I get reluctant customers like you. They make business prosper since they won't pay for the service anyway.

Sincerely, however, I maintain that you are NOT BAD. You are hidding something beneath your "artful dodgery" creed (thanks to Babeelove) and I am looking for the goods in it.

Let me tell you about some of the so-called bad men in NL. Like Debosky had tried to point out, they crafted their characters to suit the prevailing atmosphere. In between their jibes and sarcasms, you would discover who they really are. That is where my 3-way mirror helps you.

Niccolo Machiavelli once said:

"a prince who want to maintain profession of goodness in everything would necessarily come to grief among the people who are bad. Therefore, he must learn how to be bad and use his discreetion to determine when to use the skill or refrain from using it"

That's it, iice!

You reply is a goodnews for guys. But also a bad news for husbands and flirting guys. I wish we could use antibiotics regularly to at least safeguard from accidental infection. Is that a wise option, Aisha2? What antibiotic is okay for preventive measure, if any?

I just wonder, sometimes that those tiny microbes does humanity more harms than nuclear bombs. It is interesting.

Kobe, acid drop,
Mellow is saying something like "use your mirror, what you seek is what you get". So left to you to spot his gentlemanliness.

Babeelove,
me? A better deal? I am not for sale. In fact, I am not a commodity to be traded on NL. I did nothing to iice, I just use the CONCAVE side of my mirror. It is adjustable regardless of position.

Debosky,
"treat them right" mean difference things to women. Some like it hard, others prefer gentle, others are just indifference; they flow with the tide. Don't generalize. A woman may enjoy being treated like a slave, while others would rather turn the husband a donkey. It depend on their personalities. Use your mirror before you commit error of judgement.

iice,
you can know people inside out if you take the pain to do so. It is simple, not easy. Try my mirror, if you haven't got any yet.

As for my blank mirror when focused at you, nothing to worry. It is getting clearer and clearer. Not just to me, but to those who bother to take a look. Ask Babeelove, I think she is observant.

Babeelove
, that "As" isn't the same as 'ass'. You should know that I don't have those languages in my dictionary. Adjust your mirror. You would see better option. I think you are fantastic. Doyin13 and KObe would be missing a goldmine if they let you go. That fantasy would sooner transform into reality.

iice,

Disappointment is a blessing. Crafty people would only succeed in wasting their energy if channelled at the wrong target.

Without disappointment, men would still remain in the jungle feeding like Apes and other Amimals. Adam disappointed God and was driven out of Eden. Surely, we don't had internet in heaven, just like TV is a nowhere near, Judas disappointed Jesus and made jesus the sacrificial lamp for countless souls born and unborn. Obj was disappointed by the failure to clinch third term in office. In anger, he brought in an unknown Yar'adua who later turn out to be a blessing for Naija, at least for the time being.

So iice, anyone who shy away from disappointment is missing the fun, the thrill of being hurt and badly bruised. Then, the attendant joy of recuperating on treatment table where some beautiful creatures attend to your every needs. You suddenly felt like a king deserving all the attention. In betweem pain and pleasure, you find the perfect opportunity to remake yourself;equip yourself with anti-disappontment drugs so that another crazy chap won't polute your peace of mind after your recovery. And if he does, you are ready to render his efforts vain and of no effect. I think the best way to avoid disappointment is to expect it. Prepare for it.

Crafty people can FOOL ALL THE PEOPLE SOME OF THE TIME, THEY CAN FOOL SOME OF THE PEOPLE ALL THE TIME. BUT THEY CAN NOT FOOL ALL OF THE PEOPLE ALL THE TIME.

It is therefore suggested that if you must be crafty (in negative sense ) do it, but don't get caught. Why? angry men would go after you and make you wish you had never done it.

Debosky, real men of value you are. I feel you. A man of value know when to laugh and cry. He know he had to mix with other people and therefore, he know when to adjust himself to suit the people. But a MAN OF VALUE WON'T TRADE HIS CREED FOR ANYTHING IN THE WORLD IF HE He is real.
You are right in your observation. Just watchout and see how many men of value, of real ideology would even read the thread. Most guy with dented personalities would forever talk nothing but lewdness, sex and promote vice.
So what is your creed and ethical value? What ideology drives you in your dealings?

@iice,
jabs? Sarcasm? Flattery? All mixed into one? Ummm! That is because my mirror fail each time I focus it at you. So I had decided to view your reflection through the melting ice.

"artful dodger" match your description. Babeelove is the queen of invention. We hope to add more unless you do it yourself. Sincerely, "artful dodgers" are crafty. They are not that bad.
Disappointment is not new. Adam disappointed his maker. Just as Judas. I am prepare to see the good in the expected disappointment it is a date.

Invasion! Daring invasion!


Whether it is gentleman or jentuluman, it is relativity. A change in tradition. A white language shouldn't be our headache.

Debosky,
Desperation is a sign of insecurity. An evidence of faulty character. Any guy desperate to be tagged a nairaland gentleman is promoting his stupidity.

You are welcome, it seem you know alot more. Teach those who doesn't believe a single gentleman exist in nairaland.

iice,
on a serious note, I am getting to see more of your logic. If I had the might, I would not allow anyone break the ice. It won't be chilly anymore. It means someone may just be lurking around to release steam on us. You are a blessing of a sort.

The reason I sought your help on those gentlemen is because you are very popular on Nairaland. You know those guys inside out. I may be wrong in my judgement, hence the allowance for error. When I first visited the dating and meeting section(and I hardly visit it until lately), I noticed a thread was specifically created for you. In all sincerity, I didn't read it. I however made a mental note that iice is one of the most sought after personalities on Nairaland.

Last but not the least, everytime I beam my mirror on you, it simply go blank. I therefore decided to exploit the transparent nature of ice to have a glimpse of the fellow who derives peace fron other people's absence, yet those people are her very attire. Seem odd? At all.

A child know the difference between good and bad when he know the difference between egg and fire. Between pepper and palp. From then onward, parents must keep close tab on him. Though not necesarily beat him. They must begin to point out to him the acceptable and the unacceptable. That is important.

Children brains are just like empty tapes. They recorded most of the thing the sees, hear etc at that age but may not act it.

They start acting those thing, first as a trial. Later they make it part of them. If nobody correct then earlier on, they assume it is fair and go ahead to make it their own habit. That is why I don't always blame spoilt brats. I blame whoever brought them up for giving them wrong programming early in their life.

It seem this is a serious issue we more often overlook. I understand that toilet seat can be suspect, especially public toilets. What should we say of the Lagos style pit laterine where you just stoop on it? We mustn't pretend that every Lagos, indeed Nigerian homes have the wherewithal to maintain toilets facilities. There is need to examine this too. Aisha, Omoge, et al what have you got to say?

Aisha, could tell me if men are vulnerable to these disease? What sign should we look out for before concluding it is toilet wahala?

Gamba, truth revealed. Thanks.

iice, did I finally break the ice? At least you identify a gentleman. Even if we don't know who is it. Gentleman is a gentleman. Your vote admitted.

Again, we appreciate your honesty. No one will sue you. If anyone dare, he would be frozen till he witgdraw the case.

Naija, yeah, I know, a thread like this exist for ladies. I must admit I haven't been there. Why? Because wife hunters would have invaded the place and I don't want to spoil their fun.

By the way, are they making sense or toasting one another ? I will check the place someday. Maybe when there is no gentleman in Nairaland again.

Talking of gentlemen, why didn't anybody vote Seun? Is it because, he is quiet type ? I think he deserve your vote. That is one of the finest gentlemen on Nairaland. I heard of a chap called Militia, iice can help if he is truly a gentleman 'cos they seem to be good pal. I vote the guy, provided anyone back me. Then, there is denex, I think, iice can me out. What say you iice?

Thanks for your observation femionasan. Well digested.

Hazel_eye,
show your stuff. Any creed. It isn't about school. Afterall, Dangote is not a professor, just as Bill Gate was a confessed school drop -out. Their creed, and personal ethics, brought them above others.

Over to you.
