What a great poem

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ,

BY MAYA ANGELOU

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ,

enough money within her control to move out

and rent a place of her own,

even if she never wants to or needs to,



A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ,

something perfect to wear if the employer,

or date of her dreams wants to see her in an hour,



A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ,

a youth she's content to leave behind,



A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ,

a past juicy enough that she's looking forward to

retelling it in her old age,



A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ,

a set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black lace bra,



A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ,

one friend who always makes her laugh,  and one who lets her cry,



A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ,

a good piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in her family,



A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ,

eight matching plates, wine glasses with stems,

and a recipe for a meal,

that will make her guests feel honored,



A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ,

a feeling of control over her destiny,



EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW,

how to fall in love without losing herself,



EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW,

how to quit a job,

break up with a lover,

and confront a friend without;

ruining the friendship,


EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW,

when to try harder,  and WHEN TO WALK AWAY,



EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW,

that she can't change the length of her calves,

the width of her hips, or the nature of her parents,



EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW,

that her childhood may not have been perfect, but its over,



EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW,

what she would and wouldn't do for love or more,



EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW,

how to live alone,  even if she doesn't like it,



EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW, .

whom she can trust,

whom she can't,

and why she shouldn't take it personally,



EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW,

where to go,

be it to her best friend's kitchen table,

or a charming inn in the woods,

when her soul needs soothing,



EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW,

what she can and can't accomplish in a day,

a month, and a year,

FG Returns 46 Oil Wells to Abia
From Emmanuel Ugwu in Umuahia, 09.15.2007

[b]The agitation by Abia State Government for the return of its oil wells wrongly ceded to neighbouring Rivers State has finally yielded the desired fruit as 46 oil wells have now been returned to the original owner (Abia) after verification.[/b]Abia State Commiss-ioner for Information and Culture, Mr. Ralph Egbu, announced the good news yesterday, while briefing newsmen on the outcome of the State Executive Council meeting, stating that with the new development, the oil revenue profile of the state would rise from next month.
He said the decision to return the oil wells was reached in Abuja last week during a meeting involving officials of the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR), Revenue Mobilis-ation, Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC), Abia and Rivers State governments.
Egbu said in addition to the 46 returned oil Wells, Abia also got back an additional two and a half wells, explaining that it came about due to a sharing agreement on the ownership of five other oil wells which was inconclusive.
According to him, it was resolved that both Rivers and Abia would both share the proceeds from the five contentious oil wells equally, pending the time the matter of ownership would be finally determined.
The Abia State Govern-ment intensified agitation for the return of the ceded oil wells during administration of Orji Uzor Kalu.
With an estimated 60 “stolen” oil wells, members of the State House of Assembly had then embarked on a hunger strike to press home the state’s demand.
But even with the return of most of the oil wells, the Information Commissioner said Abia would continue with the struggle to recover all of its known oil wells given to Rivers State. “The government (Abia) is not yet satisfied at the number of oil wells available within its territory. It has therefore engaged the services of a consultant versed in oil business and politics to assist the state locate all the oil wells within its territory,” Egbu said.

Now Imo joins abia
show us the money!

Nnenna1:
Honestly though, I don't know whether to be happy or sad with this development. Oil usually is a prelude to for worse to come in Nigeria.

My dear that is my fear o
are we now going to have our own MEND or what?
God help us

Now with sizeable oil wealth in Imo,Anambra and Abia states,I say give us Biafra

david,the half Imo sons and daughters like yourself are welcome to share in our wealth

Local firm, Addax, strikes oil in Imo
Nigeria's oil and gas industry has recorded another landmark, with Addax Petroleum announcing an onshore oil discovery from the Njaba 2 well (formally Okaka) currently drilling in the eastern part of the OML124 license area of Imo State. Addax Petroleum has a 100 per cent working interest under a Production Sharing Contract (PSC) covering the Oil Mining License 124 (OML124) area, whereby the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) is the concessionaire. The new discovery may likely become one its largest fields in Nigeria. Addax currently produces approximately 6000 barrels per day from the Ossu and Izombe fields in OML124, which is located within Imo State. President and Chief Executive Officer of Addax, Mr. Jean Claude Gandur said, "I am extremely proud to report an excellent start in 2009 with this successful exploration result in Nigeria as it is a leading discovery that has the potential to be one of our largest fields in Nigeria. The Njaba discovery is the first exploration well to be drilled in OML124 since the mid-80's and these results will increase the production potential of the license area considerably, as well as significantly upgrade the remaining undrilled prospects."http://www.scandoil.com/moxie-bm2/news/addax-petroleum-hits-new-discovery-in-nigeria.shtml

offtopic -

how do you tell your man he's lousy in bed?

will you keep quiet, since he already knows?

will you be frank and let him know hes piss poor at bonking?

will you sit him down and tell him, considering that its not what U tell him, but how U say it; even offering some bonking lessons?

y'all know women like their sex as much as men like their food, not so

Well mine gets a score after each tango
when he's 110% I tell him and when he's at 70%,I let him know too
It's all done with humor but he knows I'm being truthful

The husband has  an inferiority complex.
Period!
If I were her, I'll attempt to get down to a size 8
If he wants to leave,let him leave.
He's not in love with her.
He is a man without self esteem and wanted a women who didn't feel too good about herself and him seeing her get in shape and boost her self esteem makes him feel even more inferior.
His going out to cheat on her her with a fat woman is just a stunt.
He wants a way to control, intimidate and break her down
That's not a man she needs to be with
Any man that'll give a woman an ultimatum to gain weight,lose weight,lighten her skin etc,does not love her
That's mental abuse and the poster should beware.
I'm almost sure she's already going through other types of mental and emotional abuse from him even before the weight loss.

Tgirl4real:
I suggest she returns to the size the hubby met her or slightly smaller. There is nothing wrong in the hubby wanting her fat cos that was what attracted him in the first place. The wrong thing he did was to cheat on her cos of it, which means he get problem.

Poster needs to know that those guys paying her compliments out there aint her hubby. It's her hubby that matters in this case.

Look at the mindset of someone that was made a moderator of the family section
Ms tgirl4real, are you for real?
You're asking a woman who has decreased her chances  of having  any and every ailment known to man to gain back pounds so as to keep a hiusband whose brain cells are in his testicles.
You and that husband belong in he same bed IMHO.

Never knew this girl had become a naija celebrity.
I went to school with this girl.
We were friends
I know the names of everyone in her family
This is unbelievable.
Ure was such a shy girl growing up
so this is how she ended up
an only daughter running around in immorality?
What a tragedy.

Ure, this is your bossom childhood friend practically in tears that you ended up like this
Jumping from man to man
What happened to the love of Christ we both confessed as teenagers?
Remember all the persecution from your dad when you became born again and we would pray about it.
I still remember our singing choruses and reading the Bible.
I still remember your beautiful smiles
I expected you to be happily married  with Children to a good Christian man
Beautiful Ure
being bounced around like a football.

look again

yaradua does look ill.
