I was at school when the news came! Picture all these students quietly seated listening to our teacher Mrs Adeleke (a usually strict lady) teach English. In walks our Math teacher RUNNING, her eyes wide as she shrieks that Abacha is dead! Mrs Adeleke looks stunned for a moment her face showing her neurons working around this information then she launches into, "Aso to ba dara ko ra fo more!" And we go mad and start dancing and jumping on desks like they just announced that every home will receive N1,500,000 as our share of the oil wealth! It's something I will NEVER forget!

And please people---

I know it's easy to say, "Ah compared to peeps like Babangida and Abacha, Baba is a blessing!" but let's not be fooled for one minute. Baba is the one that has signed and engendered relations with China signing away whatever meagre dregs are left of our resources to those yellow pawpaw swines that will not blink twice once they are done using us till all that's left is a dead corpse! He's the one under whom many more years of blatant, irresponsible politics has happened who campaigned for another term so he can syphon more money and sign away more things because the one he had done was not enough! Please! Nigeria is forever plagued with leaders that have shit and greed for brains and like another thread mentions I think that shows an intrinsic problem with us as a people.

The twiddling on the Ibanez guitar gave me an eyegasm first time I saw it!

NubianQ no way you listen to Rock!! Yay! Did you see my reply on that other thread? I do rock too! I like the metal stuff too - 30 secs (OMG Jared Leto is so beautiful! I didn't think he could also sing!), Coheed and Cambria (soooo underrated! They are sooo frigging good!), POD, My Chemical Romance, 10 Years, Avenged Sevenfold, White Stripes, Coldplay, 3 days Grace (some, not all), Fuel, Creed (of course!), Switchfoot, Staind, Hoobastank, Yellowcard (some, not all) INCUBUS (my all time fave), System of A Down, and much more. I am also really into the Visual Kei scene (That's Japanese Visual Style/shock/anime/kabuki type rock! It's soo frigging awesome!) My favourite artistes are MIYAVI (who I've dubbed my baby-daddy! And weda na this life oh or d one to come oh, me and im mus marry! He's d guy in my profile pic), Gackt (some not all of his stuff), Dir En Grey (some not all), the Gazette, Kagrra, Alice Nine, Judy and Mary, JANNE DA ARC (OmyJah, I love these guys), Acid Cherry and many more.

Yayy, I'm not the only crazy Naija babe! Yayyyy!!!

Lately though I've been getting into Naija music as well. As well as Ethiopian music (Check out Aster Aweke and Gigi) and Mauritanian (Malouma) and Arabic music in general because I bellydance! I'm soo impressed by the new crop of artistes and a lot of old ones are stepping up their game big time! I want to be in that group of pioneers you know? In a lot of ways I feel Africa esp Naija (because places like Morocco, Ethiopia, Egypt, Algeria, Mali, Senegal and SA have established their sound whereas we are still fresh so to speak) is the last frontier of music! There are all these established industries and sounds in Amer and EU and places in Asia like Japan, Korea and India have established their own sound sotay they are now coming up with fusion and sub genres like neosoul and triphop and all the flavours/subgenres of rock se u get whereas we are still working to build ours! I think that's y groups like Toubab Krewe are going to Africa to learn our ways of playing and creating music.


I want to be on the cusp with these pioneers! I want to be right there when it happens as a part of and a pioneer of the genre and the sound of Nigerian and African music.

The software costs an arm and a leg but it's well worth it. I'm working on it right now making beats for my own studio album to come out later this year.

Happy creating!

Biabeke:

Nalijah, I understand where you are coming from. I am an American born and raised Nigerian. My first marriage was solely based on citizenship. I met my second husband on way out of the American Embassy in Lagos when I was processing my ex-husband's visa. Five years later, my husband came to the US. with a Diversity Visa and joined the US. Army. The good news is that he is becoming a US. citizen. My present marriage is extremely happy. He is not abusive, mendacious, and arrogant. Ignore people who stereotype Nigerian men! My husband has proven my detractors and I that there are good men generally. Oh! Before I forget, I am two years older than my husband. I rest my case.

My dear this one is different oh! Like I mentioned somewhere on this thread 3 years, 5 years, 7 years kukuma I can understand! D babe senior d guy with double digits. She was not young when she met him and she obviously wants companionship in her older years. Your situation and her own are soooo not the same.

amber_ella:

guys, she stated that the first marriage was a sham, purely done for papers. No one in their right mind expects these marriages to work out. No need to bash her - I'm sure her first husband has moved on just as quickly!

Yeah y'all, it's funny the way sheniqua and 2Legit dissected it but really, she made it obvious that the 1st one was purely for papers.

Blatant:

Oops. i'm not usually harsh.

I'm just sick and tired of hearing these nonsense from these women. They know why they fall for guys they've never seen before or guys who are of much lower standards than they would ordinarily desire.

Note to women(especially westerners): If you want to use a guy and you get used, you should not be complaining.
That's for westerners because African women tend to be smart enough not to fall for that kind of nonsense.

My dear I used to think it was harsh too but let's be realistic! Real life isn't the movie "Prime" and all these women have this fantasy of "How Stella Got Her Groove Back". It may be based on real life but the possibility of that happening is 1 in a million. You can't be wanting to use small boy to flenge den be vexing when they rub porto porto on your face. This goes for the older guys too. The plain and simple truth is that these women are taking advantage of a desperate situation (d guys want to get out of Naija by any means because they need access to better opportunities) to fulfill their own need for companionship and sex in their old age. It's predatory regardless of what guise it wears whether male or female. So me I've started feeling less pity and more irritation and umbrage.

Whenever my boss calls me I answer, "saah?" It drives him crazy. I've been trying to stop it but it's reflexive. Also, my advisor couldn't stand that I always called her Miss Cornell. She said it made her sound old. I was like, you're almost 60. There is no way I will start calling you Brenda! That's cause for an automatic slap in Naija!

Delta! Area! Grew up in Edo so I guess that makes me a "Bendel" babe.

These don't really annoy me sha, they are just ways we express ourselves and I'd rather be unique than borrrrrinnnnggg!

Gimme mai gilasses or Hand me my sunshades

arles35:

Hello, I'm new to all of this. I'm here because i would like to say that I'm very much in love with my man. He is from Nigeria and I am from the states.We have been together for one year now, and everything seems to be going well.The problem i have is people believing that we are in love. He's 28 and well i am 41. We have had a relationship on-line for the last year.(we have not met in person) At first i thought it might be a scam, but was proved to be wrong. He has never asked me for anything but to love him. We have shared so many different feelings for each other, We plan on meeting in London in the few months for a vacation together.
I was just wondering if there were any other women here older than their husbands or boyfriends, and how did you get over the age conflict?
He always tells me that i upset him when i let the age come into our relationship, and assures me that age doesn't matter to him, that he loves me. I love him dearly.
We plan to marry but we are having difficulties because of the age difference. Immigrations is looking at it as if i am doing it just to bring him to the states. how do we prove that this is real?

Not saying it can't happen but errmmmmm----have you seen the picture of this your guy? You really think that all the beautiful, young girls in Nigeria have finished that a guy as fine as that would be willing to do long distance for a lady in the States 13 years his senior?? Omo babes done finish 4 Naija? I know you are smarter than that or at least I hope so. If you just want a nice fling you can stick with him but if you are doing this seriously all I can say is that's very stupid!  U sef u be thief! Agbaya wey no know levels! 3 years I fit understand, 5 years, 7 years, 10 fa, but a whole 13! Haba!

Shet! dis one na attack of the 9kobos cents! Dis tin be me like bad dream.

dutty:


e be like sey u don experience that kain tin before o, so what was your kg before and after?

Enough to squash your silly little head.

MallamMusa:

omo ovie na fat babe?

Duh? BBW representing. Who wan die fit die!

I'm flabbergasted that so many guys are surprised that we get turned on visually too! Duhhh! No be human being woman be too?

@ OP,

Girl I am totally in sync with your post. Ride on jo! Esp. the part of the guy with the boxer shorts. My own didn't even get to boxer shorts. My neighbour at my previous house always had his friends over and all these guys were RIPPPPPEEEDDD! They will just comot shirt and start playing basketball every evening causing comotion for all the female species within the vicinity! I will start praying like it will save me! LOL. Sha some guys fine oh! Yes, guys, cover up your body too! We are also turned on by close-fitting polos, too-tight jeans and a clean-cut physique. Bodi no be fayawood! E even get d kain lepa wey dey trip me too (check out the pic in my profile) Se you get? On top of that some guys with sexy lips will just be sticking out their tongues and licking their lips causing further internal comotion 4 girls who are tripped by that thing.  Pssschhhhewww! Dirty boys! 

According to this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arise_O_Compatriots

The national anthem was a group effort and wasn't written by a British woman. Even in primary school, I remember we were taught that the anthem was written by Nigerians. The original anthem we used after independence was written by 2 male Brit expatriates but has since fallen out of use.

Obama doesn't need Hillary. Everybody is dancing around Hillary like this is some election that she had in the bag that was unjustly snatched from her. This is not about a candidate's ego (because that's what pundits, the media and co are catering to), this is about a whole nation. Obama should not be coerced into making Hillary his VP because between her backyard tactics, her unnecessary obstinacy, her continuation of unsightly foreign policies, her humongous ego, her belief that she should have won this campaign without trying and her ardent love and respect for McCain Obama's 1st term in the white house (please father let it not be his last) would be constantly derailed from what he has worked so hard to get people to recognize - change is needed in the white house. He can easily get someone else to be his VP and bring the so-called "blue-collar workers" and women voting on sexist lines to join his campaign and win the election. Personally, I'd rather see Edwards, Bill Richardson or another woman take that spot. I'm even hearing now that W is saying Barack should take Hillary as his VP. What nonsense? The republicans just want to use this term as a, "oh let's have d democrats take over for a year and make sure they are so riddled with problems and lack of cohesion that they appear incompetent then our time will be here again"! E no go work oh! E no go work! Obama 4 president!

Ya! me too men! I even came up with a song 4 Obama back in February! I'm soooo happy he's won d nomination! Now the real battle begins! WOOOT! WoOOOT! Go Obama! This def restores my faith in Americans and in a democratic system.

I need to post that song on Utube!

MallamMusa:

Calabar girls dey fat? i never hear that one before. i sabi say calabar and ibo girls dey get milk industy wellwell just like yoruba girls dey get shit industry well well.

MallamMusa:
