Leftfoot no one is disagreeing with you. I do not pronounce the Ts either but I am am pointing out that some English people pronounce the T in listen even their news reporters

My mom is almost addicted to online games. I can see where your wife is coming from. My sister's husband is addicted to his too. He will play it all night and go to bed at 5 am in the morning. So tell us the truth. How many hours a day do you play after work? The truth o

[quote author=oyinda. link=topic=358273.msg5014427#msg5014427 date=1259462673]the only thing that will make me do all the homekeeping by myself is if i married a really rich guy. then i won't mind doing all the housework  at least i know i will be getting a sizable salary for it.

but all these yeye guys that are looking for free maidservice wives, you are not serious at all. this is the 21st century. open your eyes!![/quote]If he was that rich I would not be doing it either. A maid would be doing it. My only job will be to take care of him and the kids LOL

Eliza I know it is not funny but you will find that if you embrace a Nigerian ethnic group, you will still find people who will discriminate against you from another ethnic group and say you do not belong. We even do it amongst ourselves. Why do you think there is all the senseless shedding of blood in Africa. Develop a thick skin o. That is Africa for you. Do your research and when you find out who your ancestors were embrace it. Don't worry about what other people say. There are many Africans that will be happy to journey with you

Yep you are right. Real women suck. THEY SUCK DICK. Something a Nintendo DS can never do no matter how much he loves it. What a loser

My husband was doing the dishes when his mother was here and she said in their language "ah ah are you doing the dishes". I wanted to tell her that she could always get up and do it so her son will not have to do them but I just ignored her. Anytime she saw him do dishes I could almost see her blood pressure climb up. Jobless people

Many Nigerians and Britons pronounce listen with the T. The T has long been dropped from it but it is still being used. If you have no English friends then watch BBC. You will here listen with the T

You won't want to live in ABUJA when you get to visit the place. Maybe go on a vacation and spend a week or two, but you 'd soon get tired of the monotony. You 'gbadun' ('enjoy') AMERICA, abi (right)? You won't 'gbadun' ABUJA that much. Don't get me wrong. People live there but solely for economic reasons.

Why? What do I do here for fun anyway. I am pretty much a homebody and work from home for the most part now anyway. Are there parks I can take my children to play? It looks that way. When I really want to have fun here I usually go spend time with family or my best friend so I don't think Abuja would be that much different.

She never had sex with a dog. Y'all need to chill.


Koolchicco I sent you a message

Why should you get your first million and think about who you will spend it on. Why not to secure your future and that of your children if any. A million is not that much that everybody needs to get a cut. sheesh

So how much do you think these homes cost

The sad part is that the second wife is not smart. He did not love her enough to defy his parents but she is loving him enough to marry him and reduce herself to a home wrecker status. She should have just moved on because she obviously respected him more than he respected her

There is American English and then there is English. The average American cannot tell a Nigerian English accent from a British English accent. I guess I kind of understand where you are coming from since I know that the most Americans only know accents from what they see on tv. There are a million words in English that only Americans pronounce that way. Compare your accent to a Boston accent for example and you will see that you pronounce your words differently because they had direct ties to England. Nigerians speak very conservative English not the more watered down version that Americans speak. For example, the word aluminum is pronounced the same way by both the British and Nigerians but Americans pronounce it differently. The word WRATH pronounced the same way by Nigerians and the British but most Americans pronounce it differently

Then of course we factor in the fact that Nigerians have their own native accent. It does not make the American accent the correct one it just makes it a different accent with emphasis on different parts of a word. I have corrected quite a few of my American friends only to find out that that pronounciation is totally acceptable as far as American English is concerned anyway.
Where you failed totally is were you said "I know Nigerians are intelligent" as if speaking English is a factor in determining someone's intelligence. I know that is the general feeling in the United States but no where else in the world is English considered as a factor in determining if someone is intelligent or not.

What is elect elect and how in the world do they force people to take a major they don't want to take

Is it not funny that I said the exact same thing above and I did not even know the story behind it

ponytail:
the story is that Umuani was his first and long time love, apparently they couldn't get married due to parental pressure, for some reasons IBB them were supposed to have favoured the first wife. this would probably explain why the dude was a bachelor for so long. When the dust settled, he went out and married the madam of his choice, albeit as a second wife

Someone dropped the ball somewhere for their kids to be beating them up. Unless there is some mental illness involved or maybe drugs then a child will not up and call their mother a bitch

BiyaCross:
Interesting story. May seem a lost cause but I'd like to come to Martins' defence here. This debacle of being sued and all, has been going on since February of this year, ever since the relationship between NVA management and Martins turned sour. (See article here: http://www.sundaysun.co.uk/news/north-east-news/2009/02/08/obafemi-martins-sued-over-disputed-agent-fees-79310-22879624/)
I'm not one to judge - but wasn't it the NVA folks the ones touting themselves as buyers of Newcastle United earlier this year in yet another publicity hungry rave? Questionable if you asked me.
NVA was supposed to manage his affairs and broker deals on his (Martins) behalf - apparently. So then, were his affairs managed properly? It's a different thing altogether if the relationship turned sour and both parties went their ways - a totally different kettle of fish demanding to get paid for services not rendered - or indeed lacklustre type service.
How many of us would earn that much money, sign up with an agency who wants to get paid gazilions per phone call and carrying out most bssic of duties? Haba! I certainly wouldn't want to keep my money lying around for an agency like that.
I would have thought an astute agency would put things in order properly and not have to resort to mudslinging by way of a media blitz and court battles to recover alleged monies owed. Surely a 'Super' Agency like NVA would have well defined and stipulated modes of payment - eh? Remember something called invoice, pay-by-dates? They'd rather do the 'ja-gba' (snatch it) mentality and approach to things.

Has anyone been on the NVA management website? (http://www.nvamanagement.com/) Parading footballers you don't even manage on the website does not necesarily mean you know how to manage a footballer. Yet another little bird told me; the CEO is a club promoter and DJ by trade, thus his venture into rubbing shoulders with stars - laudable, I must admit!

It'll be interesting to see what contract was signed or agreed with the footballer in question before all of this brouhaha.
Why did NVA get fired? A little bird told me they were more interested in introducing diamonds merchants (all for a back end fee of course!) to Martins, which he refused a few times. The plot thickens!

The tenure of the contract - apparently - was for 2 years/seasons but NVA got fired before the first season ended - interesting. Perhaps Martins is not as stupid as NVA have tried to make him out to be.
So did Martins do all these alleged spending, the seasons before then and the one before and so forth? Questionable if you asked me. Let's not be so gullible and get taken on a ride by a some rag-tag, fly-by-night agent/agency who seemingly is on a quest for publicity.
So, NVA yet again, fired by Jordan AKA Katie Price after a couple of months (wonder why they didn't sue Jordan - may be because she didn't quite fit the bill of a sterotypical 'dumb black star' as thought) fired by Obafemi MArtins the list goes on.

Question is, why didn't all these happen whilst he was in Italy playing for Inter-Milan? Why didn't whoever took over from NVA (after they were fired) report the same thing? Really curious as to why folks still see African stars as easy prey for lawsuits. Well, perhaps it's time for a new awakening for high profile sports personalties - rethink management of their affairs with astute an credible agencies.

As for Martins, earning his wages surely doesn't preclude him from dining out with mates and of course driving what car he likes - so long as they're paid for. Here's hoping Martins sees the need to surround himself with people of integrity. I rest my case.

If he entrusted his money to a DJ then it even makes me believe more that his money is in serious jeopardy

My uncle is the only son of his father. He and his wife have 2 kids and they are girls. His wife had a difficult third pregnancy years ago and lost it. He did not want to try again after that. He is okay with his two girls

nayalee:
heard he bought a ring for n24m, ow can this be true when he is indebted, lol

Very possible. With his income he can finance 3 times that amount if he wants

;d ;d ;d ;d

This has nothing to do with education. It is just totally wickedness and backwardness

Then tell her it is a balloon. I don't care what they tell her but she does nto need to know what a condom is used for. Why should dad have condoms in his pocket in the first place?

That is what my mom refers to as "every mistake is a style in london". I saw that and she continued on without blinking so I thought maybe it was part of the dance routine. Thank God she has enough cushion to hold it

The man should have been arrested on the spot. He admitted to battering her. This is a disgrace. I swear wife battery is a worse stigma than 419ing and people just think it is just okay

She is 7 and does not need to know what a condom is. Tell her it is candy and wait for her to ask again when she is 13

Sharia punishment does not extend to rich people. They save it for the poor

You really think that in this day and age with beautiful educated women for that matter there will be no hanky panky on the side. Those women will step out on him. That's just the truth about most polygamous relationships. The men are not the only ones sleeping around. She can have her husband and her true love. If she is smart she will use her shameless husbands money to finance a very nice lifestyle for her boyfriend

We are talking about Babangida's child here. There is no way she and everybody else did not know he was already married

Did I say the man is not guilty. So because she is pretty she cannot have ho tendencies. She knew there was a woman there and to top it off it seems the woman was not okay with a second wife. You this Aloy sef. Make you no let fine woman kill you o
