This is why I tell young teenage  girls
Keep your legs closed and if you must fornicate,use contraception.
99.9% of the time the man is gone and you're left to handle the products.
The boy can move on  and start life afresh whereas Bristol's life is changed forever
Wait till he moves unto a new family down the line and she'll be tracking him down for support.

I still can't get over what the daughter was wearing in one of those their TV stage appearances last year
They had a clip of it last night where she wore that extremely tight and unholy black dress with her turgid mammaries up to her chin level.
I was horrified.

Thank God they broke up now since we knew it was just a matter of time.

Beaurrifulllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm dancing to it.
Once you cross Benue state and move southwards,the songs are flavourful and danceable.
Ibkaye has a thread with Hausa songs and the singers are speaking through their nostrils and singing like people from Islamabad.
no soul whatsoever.

the song above you can even just sit down and dance with your upper body.
I don't understand a word of Yoruba but any lover of good music will love that song.

Aloy.Emeka:
Osisi,
can you cook ofe nsala and ofe ejula?

I hate snails
Tufiakwa!

Ebony-Silk:
Ohh, I love this one. . . .but too much english

Nice song.I liked it.The caribbean flavour is great

I don't care for hausa songs
the synthesized voices speaking through their nostrils irritate me
all the songs sound the same
Just like country music,if you hear one,you've heard them all.

ibkaye:
Never heard that song before, hope to come across it one day

Ifunanya=love

Ok, not in love with the duo, but their music . After being a skeptic and errhmmm hater of the Nigerian music industry for over a score, P square's music [has finally won me over!!!   What sets them apart is the subtle passion behind what they do. I feel it in my soul, I feel it . Their music embodies rhythm and lyrics that actually make sense. However tracks like "Do me" with the up beat sound do not interest me but "Ifunanya and Am I still that special man" are what I term classics

Kudos to you guys. Much love from stillwater.

Honestly dear,the first time I heard Ifunaya,I was smitten with that song
I played it until the kids,the office staff and my husband got sick of me
I couldn't get it off my head

Ile Omugwo

This is an age old Igbo custom.
When a woman is pregnant and her due date approaches, her mother comes in to stay with her for the birth and at least 2 months post-partum.
Her mother (the grandma) bathes the baby, does all the cooking, and also bathes the new mother helping her massage the necessary areas with hot water.
A special delicacy the woman eats at this time is[b] ji mmiri (mmili) oku  uda i.e yam peppersoup[/b] with 2 special spices called uda and uziza
In Anambra area, it is called ofe nsala,  a very light thickner( e.g a piece of mashed yam) is used and is usually eaten with pounded yam.
The soup is filled with dried fish (mangala), stock fish (okporoko) and sometimes beef.
It is hot hot hot and the hot pepper and uda and uziza they say is expected to help the woman's body heal from the stress of childbirth.

The new mother is not expected to lift a finger during omugwo or go outside.
she just eats and nurses her baby and others take care of the chores
and she cannot have sex with her husband during this period.
How wonderful,how forefathers knew even before medical science about postnatal.
Most of us put on weight at omugwo

I didn't have the luxury of my mom being with me at Omugwo.
I struggled by myself
and my man cooked the ji mmili oku with uda and uziza and okporoko and brought it to the hospital each time with plenty of left over at home and he did a good job.

Traditionally,after the mom leaves,the mother in law then comes to stay for her own omugwo visit.
Women whose mothers are bereaved usually have an aunt or older sister do the omugwo.
when the visit is over,the grandma or whoever did the omugwo goes home with new wrappers,blouses and a lot of other goodies because it's assumed that the new baby has ruined all her wrappers with urine and feces.

as we call it back home
