Barman, please get me some Isi Ewu. But before that's ready, get me a big stout! Thank you. Hello my fellow drinkers, I just had a wonderful day at work. They don pay the wages they owe us for the past 3 months. I dey happy!

My nickname was 'Jugunu' cause I tell a lot of Indian movies at school. I think I remember my mates calling someone "Eeyin" (teeth) cause he had a potruding front teeth.

I don't think there's actually any good station in Naija. What you get are a couple of ok stations. All the NTA stations are crap! They should be scrapped! I don't think I enjoy watching Naija stations. Without DSTV, nothing is worth watching. That's the sad case of Nigerian TV, I'm afraid.

There's no place called Heaven or Hell. It's all a myth. So, you don't need to worry about eternal whatever. Just be good to your fellow human beings and hopefully you'll peace of mind.

Jerusalem is under Isreal & Palestine, my friend! You should be praying for peace in the Middle East and not only for Jerusalem. This is assuming prayer works.

Chinedumo, I'm sorry to say this - but you're not making any sense at all! Who cares about some stupid reward in heaven? What's wrong with you people? Has religion gotten this bad? If people want to have sex before or after marriage, that's their jazz. We live in a modern world and all this religious bullcrap has really gone bonkers! The world have been existing long before the bible or any other religious book. I hate when people quote the bible like it's the be all and end all of everything. People need to wake up from their slumber!

Geez! People! Listen to yourselves! "The land belong to Isreal because God gave it to them!" That's utter bullcrap! The land belongs to both of them. We can't use some story in the bible as a proof. That's just ridiculous!

The Yoruba wont do anything. We'll let you people hurt each other and we'll be in Tantaliser eating fried rice and chicken.

Don't you think you should have made this known to all other group i.e Yoruba, Efik, Benin & Hausa?

I don't believe some people actually think this video is nothing more than a propaganda. The Jos case is a sad one. But the other bit with the lunatic Muslim clerics is laughable! Those loonies are all hiding some where or in prison. The people behind this video are just trying to counter jihad with another jihad. I'm not even going to lose any sleep over this crap. I'm only worry for Jos, Plateau state and Nigeria. We as a people should start thinking outside the box. All these silly religious dogmatism isn't helping our progress one bit. Instead of trying to better our lives, we're fighting and killing each other. I just hope we wake up before it's too late.

@ Noetic16, I think the article wants us to shine our eyes and embrace our own. I know that's a long shot with Africans deep into Christianity and Islam. But we can still learn to appreciate our traditional believes. I've seen many times where Nigerians will start saying "blood of Jesus!" the moment they see a sculptor or cowrie shells. That just shows how lost and damn right stupid we are. Africans have to wake up, man!

What's AIDS got to do with polygamy? Nigerians, sha! Anyway, as much as I don't particularly fancy it, I don't think making it a crime makes sense. Men are naturally polygamous. Just because you're married to one wife doesn't stop men from having concubines. That's just just the way this world is. I've seen girls in Nigeria who won't mind being in a polygamous relationship. So, it's really not right to suggest making polygamy a crime in Nigeria.

This religion palaver sef. God & Allah aren't the same? So why do you keep saying there's only one God? I've asked this question before. Christians & Muslim believe in two different entities. Which means there many Gods! Whao! Lucky us! So, we can swing both ways if it suits us. Yippee!!!!!

It's your life. But remember having a child isn't child's play. You've got to have a father that will be there for you and the baby. You have to be able to do what want to do in life ie working or schooling without getting bug down by you taking care of a baby. It's lot of work taking care of a child. That's why you have to think it through very well, my dear.

I'm a private guy as well. But when it comes to you and your wife, the situation is different. Having different rooms when you're married is what our parents do when they have a big house. At least, a lot of the ones I've been able to see in Naija. My take is share the same room. It's called marriage and love.

I think people should stop all these rubbish talk about 'Haiti signing a pact with the devil'! It's stupid and makes christianity look bad.

UC Nduka, you're still equating voodooism to evil. You can't! Besides, what stupid pact are we even talking about? Only religious people will hear a stupid thing like that and believe it! They practise what they felt is good for them. Big deal. It's not hurting you and I, is it? So, you think Christianity or Islam are better than practising voodoo? Why? Because you don't sacrifice goats to one god or the other? Remember you still visit a religious place, put money in some kitty and swear by a Holy book. Some would consider that as some form of sacrifice.

Busoye19, all these stuff have been happening before and during biblical times. It's nothing new to our generation. People make bible the byword for what's been happening on earth. But failed to realise the world has been existing long before the bible.

Like Blackcypha said, enjoy your life cause you only live once. Worrying about some mythical place after you die, I'm sorry to say, is nothing but a waste of time. When you die, you're dead. It's the end. Finito! I would've love to say if you die and find out that there's heaven and hell. Then you're in deep sh.it. But I still find that notion a bucket full of bull crap! It's irrelevant! What we live for is how we make good or bad of our existence on this planet!

Baba Awon Boys!

I'm annoyed when people talk about 'God' and voodoo. Please, I don't need anyone quoting the Bible or Quran here. It's irrelevant cause it's subjective. People choose to practise voodooism because it suits them. Equating that with devil worshipping is highly ignorant. We have so many churches and mosques in Nigeria but we've yet to turn the corner. Someone was saying the Haitians are 'dark hearted' because they're into voodoo and withcraft. What utter nonsense! No religion is going to save you from a lack of common sense. All that rubbish from Pat Robertson is nothing more than a load of old cobblers! Typical religious zealot's talk. Haiti has been mismanaged by power hungry and corrupt individuals. That's all to it.

Mama Gee, like you rightly said "crushes are for kids". Everyone was talking about their experiences when they were kids. What was yours like? Or you became an adult from childbirth? Anyway, my first crush was when I was 11 there about. She was our landlord's daughter. We sort of play together but didn't actually profess anything to each other. But secretly, I fancied her. A year and a half later, some other girl took her position. 

SillyBoy, sorry jare! Girls don't know how it feels when somebody leads you on and then messes up! I've been there, mate. But trust me, there are many Naija girls who go do. Don't lose hope yet! They can be on a long thing most times but they're our own, we can't quit on them easily. Nah mean?

Religion, religion, religion! I always find it quite interesting when people talk about their religious believes. Christians say you can only go to heaven through Christ and the Muslim tell us we can only reach paradise through Allah. Both religion don't see eye to eye. I'm only talking from a Nigerian point of view here. I don't know much about the other religions out there i.e Hinduism, Buddism etc. So, don't you guys think maybe those two religions (Christianity & Islam) are not necessarily telling us the truth. Maybe everything they've been telling us are all a way to control us. That's just my two cents.

Cheating for men is a natural instinct. I know it sounds bad but it's the truth. We respond to the female magnetism easily. Among us black or Nigerians, it's very common. We just go weak for a female touch regardless of us being in a relationship or not.

Ok, since you guys are all hating on pot belly, then us men have to get rid of our beer bellies as well. Not that I have any, get me? !See, with age comes acceptance. I appreciate the fact that flaunting a pot belly in tight clothes might not be greatest thing. But I'll still say The Sun girl isn't bad at all. That's no pot belly. At least not to me!

Really my dear, I'm sorry to read your post. I feel for you. But the issue with guys is SEX is very much part of a relationship! If we don't get it with our partners, we look for alternatives. Your boyfriend went and did it with the other girl cause he needs to have a sexual relationship. It's the honest truth! Try and talk to him and see if you can find a middle ground. I'm sure he loves you. But at the same time be wary of his ways. It might not stop with 1 girl. So, try and shine your eye a little! Goodluck!
