It clearly depends on one's age. Only people whom age has caught up with will answer in the affirmative so categorically. How many teens date cos they expect their bf/gf to be married to them? There are times when people have dated for sake of money, fame, swag, peer/societal pressure, looks, chance, intimacy, or simply for no reason at all, without giving a thought regarding if the partner was a marriage material. Correct question shoulda been, 'can u date someone, u aint attracted to?'

Is it because it's a Nigerian movie. Haven't u seen more of this in Hollywood. IT"S A MOVIE!! What is wrong with Nigerians! Why pretend as if we are the most righteous! Again, It's a movie! A film! And btw, U DON"T JUDGE A BOOK BY IT'S COVER! I see nothing wrong in the poster.

Nothing wrong with the poster. It's just a movie and sexually-explicit content are not in themselves a sign of lack of creativity, as some have said. We see them even more in American movies that belong to that class. Yet, it's the application of such content in this poster that reveals a lack of creativity. For example, the gals look fake, and unreal. The second girl from left is so annoying...not sensual. Most of the gals aint looking sensual, and if i were sex-driven to pick a movie, this would appear as a joke for me. Using only the girl in white would have served the purpose much better.

Next time don't bench mikel

Nice trend! But it'll be better if this is reserved for the traditional or current Big Four or six clubs in the npl eg Eyinmba, Rangers, Kano plllars, Sunshine, 3Sc, and co? Just as u do it in epl...cos these are the finer clubs with the largest fans. Once again, Nice trend. Perhaps this is what i need to develp my interest in Npl. Up rangers! Up Blues!

kandiikane: Pleep, depending on when a woman loses her virginity, the hymen is very likely to erode from years of various exercises so by the time she finally has sex, there is nothing left or bits and pieces of membrane . There are women who can still have sex and still come out with their hymens intact. So, no.

Seriously? Sex and hymen INTACT! Nah! I bet u meant 'pieces of membrane' like u said above.

So he was actually rested against real madrid? No wonder Manure lost! Now he has been restored to the starting line up, only God knows the fate of chelsea on sunday...seriously, this isnt sounding good. Why always him?

It's a free world. But why are the gay discriminating against the straight? Is it a sin if they worshipped with the general population?

During my own time, my department used to photocopy all call up letters before issuing them out. So, check with your sch if they had a back up copy which u can use as a back up.

Also knw dat u hv to sort this out cos once u collected ur letter and signed , not showing up in camp in camp will be deemed as abscondment and u will be treated as such.

Lastly, if u have sb at the national headquarters, ask the person for assistance cos no peripheral personel might be able to really rectify this issue.

Don't let the blames from nairalanders depress u the more, but next time u r in such a situation, keep it safe and make a duplicate before leaving the collection premise.

I just travelled from benin to asaba yesterday. It baffles me how asaba can be as hot as hell where as benin city has been as normal as always

KnowAll: ^^^^^^

D chance of him becoming president is as fat a chance as Yardua running for d Presidency in 2015. He is not d most inspiring igbo man.

what does it mean when sb has a fat chance at sth? I think u meant to say his chances are slim, and not 'fat'.

Hmmm, that means some of these guys kidnapping ppl may actually be final year kidnapping students executing their final year projects.

Revealed: “I suffered from cancer of the nose” – Governor Chime
After several months of cover ups by aides to Governor Sullivan Chime of Enugu State, the Governor has opened up on his state of health, declaring that he suffered from cancer of the nose.
In a chat with journalists on Monday at the Enugu Government House, Chime who returnedlast Friday after spending 140 days abroad saidhe used his long vacation to attend to his health.
This is contrary to claims by his media aides that he is hale and hearty. Throughout Chime’s absence, his information commissioner, Chuks Ugwuoke debunked several reports on the Governor’s illness.
However, speaking extensively on his journey abroad, Chime said: “In August last year, I was privileged to be one of those nominated by theNigeria Governors’ Forum to go to Germany to study their federalism, I was to represent the south east zone; I had to use the opportunity f the trip to pass through London to do my medicals since it was the only opportunity I had to do that. After my medicals, I was certified feat by the doctors, but I noticed that I had a little growth beneath my jaw. Ordinarily, nobody could see it but I felt it seriously and asked the doctors to further investigation on it.
“I was later referred to a GP who after examining me said there was nothing wrong with me. I still asked for further investigation. I even made arrangement with them to help me set appointment for closer investigation. I left for Germany and had to still return to London to keep the appointment for proper screening of the growth. It was after the screening that it was discovered that the growth in question was cancerous. It was also discovered that the main tumour was behind my nose; it was simply called cancer of the nose.
“Cancer is such thing that when you hear it, theperson involved will even declare himself deadinstantly. I was subjected to further scanning at the nose and neck and was told that it was curable, not manageable. When I asked how to go about it, I was told it has to be as early as possible before it spreads to other areas. Accordingly I arranged for it to be done. I had to cancel further trips and agreed to be back to London in two weeks. Within the period, I came back to Nigeria and made arrangement for transmission. I wrote a letter to the speaker, informing him of my decision to proceed on leave and sought his cooperation to work with my deputy who will act as governor. We even held two executive council meetings within the period where I informed members of my exco that I was proceeding on a long vacation.
“I left for Abuja the next day and attended the Governors’ Forum meeting and the next day I left for London, settled in and saw the oncologist the next day. By Monday, I commenced treatment. Cancer is a deadly disease and the cure is also deadly. Its not like panadol, not drugs we buy off the counter. You go through different stages. The treatment altogether lasted for 12 weeks and throughoutthe treatment, I was an out-patient. I was never admitted in any hospital in London. During the period of the treatment, I had challenges and these are challenges I will not even wish my enemy to go through; it’s not easy to imagine.
“When I read in the papers that I had died in India, it was a source of entertainment; each time we wanted to laugh, we looked for Nigeria papers online but what became worrisome, was the deliberate and sustained attempt to undermine the government of Enugu state. If you’ve been following events, over the years, we’ve invested a lot on infrastructure but I’ve always said that one thing I would like to leave behind is a workable system. When we came in, there was no system in place and I felt there was indeed to build one in order to encourage continuity. This was therefore an opportunity to test the system we had put in place. You must have observed that we have something resembling a system in place now. While I was away, the government kept on functioning, everything kept on moving as if I was around. Nobody talked about strike over non-payment of salaries, no contractor complained that he was not paid. We even had increased activities in my absence.
“I can beat my chest that the Deputy Governor who led the team indeed ensure that the system worked in my absence. I’m happy we’ve almost reached that height, it gladdenedmy heart. Of course, we were in close contact and we didn’t have problems inspite of attempts by some of our brothers and sisters who live in the Diaspora to undermine the system and were publishing all sorts of nonsense. Our local media even joined in spreading the falsehood but in a nutshell, the Enugu state government under my administration has come to stay. The treatment ended on December 14 and the period of recovery commenced. “I was asked tostay away from office for six months but by late January when we went to review my state,they were shocked with my recovery rate which showed that the tumour had gone. I wasalmost declared cancer free. I will be required to be going there from time to time, but I can assure you that they succeeded in curing the disease.
“I can tell you that I was officially discharged that’s why I had to return. I’m still in the process of recovery and as such you don’t expect me to running tomorrow but I’m free toresume duties to ensure that activities are running on full speed.
“Let me also make it clear that when I was leaving for London, I left a healthy man. I voluntarily submitted myself to have the tumour removed. To further buttress this point,I left the shores of this country without a single aide. Most times, cancer kills because of late discovery; it’s curable. Anybody that discovers that he has cancer should go and treat it and not allow the opinions of people todissuade him or her.
“The people that ought to know about my predicament actually knew. Let me make it clear to you that there is hardly any public officer that travels out on vacation only to go and rest. Most of them go out to attend to health challenges. I didn’t travel sick, it was a tumour. I wasn’t grounded. I decided to nip it in the bud. I actually chose that period to do it because that was the only window of opportunity that I had. That was the first time Iwas spending four months together outside Enugu since maybe after the war. It was never an emergency and it can never be likened to that of Yar’Adua. While Yar’Adua traveled out sick, I traveled out a healthy man and let me also tell you that the attacks started about two weeks after I left”.

Alex is a better coach than Mou(just watch out to see how he will minimize the effects of Christiano, and how he will wait for counterattacks). Both clubs are great...but I tip Man United to Get the advantage here (= a win, a draw, or a loss with multiple away goals), as well as progress over the two legs. My prediction...Real 2 : 2 Man U.

I just like the wordings. They sound quite liturgical...like the scriptures!

Here is the offical Vatican translation Pope Benedicts statement on his resignation.
Dear Brothers,
I have convoked you to this Consistory, not only for the three canonizations, but also to communicate to you a decision of great importance for the life of the Church.
After having repeatedly examined my conscience before God, I have come to the certainty that my strengths, due to an advanced age, are no longer suited to an adequate exercise of the Petrine ministry. I am well aware that this ministry, due to its essential spiritual nature, must be carried out not only with words and deeds, but no less with prayer and suffering.
However, in today’s world, subject to so many rapid changes and shaken by questions of deep relevance for the life of faith, in order to govern the bark of Saint Peter and proclaim the Gospel, both strength of mind and body are necessary, strength which in the last few months, has deteriorated in me to the extent that I have had to recognize my incapacity to adequately fulfil the ministry entrusted to me.
For this reason, and well aware of the seriousness of this act, with full freedom I declare that I renounce the ministry of Bishop of Rome, Successor of Saint Peter, entrusted tome by the Cardinals on 19 April 2005, in such away, that as from 28 February 2013, at 20:00 hours, the See of Rome, the See of Saint Peter, will be vacant and a Conclave to elect the new Supreme Pontiff will have to be convoked by those whose competence it is.
Dear Brothers, I thank you most sincerely for all the love and work with which you have supported me in my ministry and I ask pardon for all my defects. And now, let us entrust the Holy Church to the care of Our Supreme Pastor,Our Lord Jesus Christ, and implore his holy Mother Mary, so that she may assist the Cardinal Fathers with her maternal solicitude, in electing a new Supreme Pontiff. With regard to myself, I wish to also devotedly serve the Holy Church of God in the future through a life dedicated to prayer.
From the Vatican, 10 February 2013 BENEDICTUS PP XVI

Tension

Do you mean from a dealer on nairaland

A lesson learnt the hard way. Moses and Emenike shouldnt have played that Mali game after 60minutes and 75minutes respectively.

What Nigeria needs is a single Military Dictator with the right character.

I expect less than 2.5 goals. Nigeria 1 : 0 Burkinafaso
