Sho??! This sahara reporters self!! Dem dey use jazz??! How dem take dey know all this secrets na?

Dear OP, i feel your pain joh.. It's very disheartnin when one's wife hates one's family.. What is more saddenin is that u are d only child of ur parents and that would make dem yearn for the grandchildren so much and ur wife dey form crixus unto the matter.. My advice is
Talk to her about this.. Pray about this too.. Involve people that she can listen too. You also need to man up dude.. For pete's sake, be the african man that you are! Dont let ur parents die of heart break o.. And please, dont abuse her physically o.. Or mayb she sees ur parents as her rival ( u should understand this from the traditional perspective..).. Just man up bro.. Be careful, lest things go diabolical o..

Cool.. But we Nigerians need to love ourselves first, den our relationship with other african countries would definitely improve..

The easiest in nigeria is either hausa or yoruba.. Talkin from experience mehn..
Hausa sounds romantic, its a one way language..
Why i'd choose yoruba over hausa is because of this reasons:
the yoruba race is the most learned in Nigeria, the language has also evolved over the years.. Its unique in the way it flows with rhymes and beat.. That why musicians sings better in yoruba.. Also, i think all most all hymns originally written in english sang in churches translated to yoruba, when you sing in yoruba still possess the same number of syllable in each line of the song and same rhyme... I am not sayin other languages dont have translations but preservin the number of syllables in each line of the hymn and rhymes of the same song/hymn in english is not always as unique as in yoruba...

The yoruba also borrows words from english language... Just like bible-bibeli; temple-tempili..
In years to come, yoruba generations would speak a language that would have so much integrated into english..

I like Hausa, that language's so romantic and easy too..

i expected some people to think its a sequence.. But you beat to it; letin dem know.... Good one, even though you researched it.

4tunebest: See an Opthalmologist ASAP

thanks

Its started during my Service year. I just noticed this stain when i look at things.... Moves with my eyes as i change direction.. Its not a thick stain(kinda insignificant sha) neither is it visible when i look at my eyes in the miror, just that it seems it on my retina/pupil or so (that black part of the eyes). I hardly noticed it when i am just lookin at things casually but when i concentrate on objects, i notice it. It noticed it stated when i started takin very long trips on bike (from Idiroko to Tubé, Ipokia LGA, ogun state.. For those that know the distance) to my PPA.. I told my girlfriend about it and she said it could be worms, that she's had similar experiences.. So docs, what is could be wrong and its cure?

See as people dey crucify those gals for NL.. They are better than ur polticians, yes. BTW, no all of dem have no future plan, some are students. If she is a good gal and i am well stashed, i'l boxed her up from the life and settle down with her.. Simple.

Malaysian Islamic authorities on Thursday seized hundreds of Bibles from a Christian group and questioned two of its officers, one of them said, amid tensions over the use of the word “Allah”.


A court in October barred a Malaysian Catholic newspaper from using “Allah” to refer to the Christian God in its Malay-language edition — a verdict which was welcomed by Muslim conservatives but which sparked concern among Christians, a minority in the multi-faith country.


After the verdict, Prime Minister Najib Razak, walking a tightrope between pleasing his conservative Muslim ethnic Malay base without alienating non-Muslim minorities, assured Christians the practice of their religion would not be threatened.


But Islamic officials from the central state of Selangor on Thursday seized 16 boxes containing more than 300 Bibles from the Bible Society of Malaysia, said the society’s president Lee Min Choon.


Lee said he and a colleague were also detained “under a state law, which prohibits the use of the word Allah by non-Muslims”. They were later released but must meet authorities again next week.


Most of the seized Bibles — imported from neighbouring Indonesia where Malay is also spoken — were in Malay. A few were in Iban, a language spoken by one of the country’s indigenous groups.


“We have been using them (the Bibles) ever since the society started (in 1985), and even before that,” Lee told AFP. “This is the first time we have been raided.”
Officials from the Selangor Islamic Religious Department did not immediately return a request for comment.


The Council of Churches of Malaysia said in a statement it was “alarmed” by the raid and urged the government to “protect religious rights as provided under the Federal Constitution”.


The dispute over the use of “Allah” by non-Muslims erupted in early 2009, when the Home Ministry threatened to revoke the publishing permit of the Catholic newspaper the Herald for using the word.


Authorities said using “Allah” in non-Muslim literature could confuse Muslims and entice them to convert.


The Catholic Church sued, claiming violation of its constitutional rights.
The church says the word “Allah” is the most accurate translation for “God” and has been used for decades in Malaysia and elsewhere.


A court upheld the church’s argument later that year and lifted the ban. But a higher court overturned that ruling in October, reinstating the ban.


The ban’s removal had triggered a series of attacks on churches and other places of worship in early 2010, using Molotov cocktails, rocks and paint, and sparked fears of wider religious conflict.


Muslims make up 60 percent of the country’s 28 million people, while Christians account for about nine percent.


Malaysia has largely avoided overt religious conflict in recent decades, but tensions have slowly risen along with what many see as an increasing Islamisation of the country.

Wel, if u can get a good and decent job to cater for ur needs, bills and heavy taxes, after studies, why not? But if you'v got a strong network to get you a good job here in Nigeria, den come home.. You'd save more here.

jayseehe: den take it 2 joke section

yezzire!

tshegs19: Nah you suppose create dis thread..Not d nonsense wey OP write

sho? Na vex?

jayseehe: @ op I knw u posted it because u feel every tecno trend makes front page
trust me, u won't make front.
n back to d topic, don't buy tecno, dey r made of inferior materials n no ota updatesgo for gionee instead

no b so like that na.. Just wanted ta b nauty

jayseehe: u r just repeating ur points by rephrasing dem

yeah, thats the humor innit.

bsaxadeb55: TECNO AND SAMSUNG PHONES HAVE SAME QUALITY: PRICE DOES NOT ALWAYS REFLECT QUALITY

The reasons why tecno phones are cheap is not because of inferior quality but because of some economic reasons such as;
1 ... LABOUR COST...the cost of labour in China and some other countries like India is cheaper compared to American Apple companies which are American based. if you follow your international business news Americans now design and take their technology to b assembled in China

2.. TAX.. CHINA relatively to American companies and the Samsung Korean companies have cheaper tax rate.. all taxes are built into production cost too

3...Population of working force in China is alarming

I have a lot of facts behind this reality.. now
its stupidity for we to think that this China phones are lesser in quality ( gionee/ tecno) the phone many times have under gone drop test.. I have seen techno and gionee phone's fall a lot of times and yet didn't spoil.. if u don't know China space ship landed on the moon recently.. they are the 3rd country. to achieve that ... my point is those guys are GOOD.. We should not let this Americans continue to exploit us with high prices

i guess so

Dude, this is just a fun thread.. I aint goin all specs man.

Here on nairaland, there have been many 'anti-tecno' thread. So i just created this thread for tecno fans. So, these are the reasons why you should use/buy a tecno phone:

1. Its cheap.
2. Way cheap compared to other high end andriod phones
3. Low budget
4. Not expensive
5. Low cost
6. Gives you a feel of the andriod OS
7. Makes you feel among na?
8. What other reason there is for you ta know?
9. You still dey find reason abi?
10. Park well joh.

Op, i hail you, howfar na?

Ms Nas: First off, this letter best be a fiction of Vanguard's imagination. If not...

But I'm not shocked anyways. I read 'Moji Obasanjo's Biography and most of what Iyabo is saying we're mentioned in there.

This is what I think, both Iyabo, Olusegun, Goodluck and Co cannot be absolved of any blame. This is the case of "Things Fall Apart, and the Center Cannot Hold". As the Yorubas will also say "Nkan to so won po, lo tu won ka"

All of them contributed in one way or the other to the situation Nigeria has found herself as a nation in present day. This is a classic case of mudslinging. Washing your dirty linens in public. Fighting like a pair of mad cows. Its a pity.

For Obasanjo to have written such a letter to Jonathan, I'm really sure it's not out of patriotism by the way things are presently but a deal gone sour somewhere along the line. Didn't he campaign for the guy too? Didn't he want to turn into a democratic dictator when he was also president (with the third term palaver?) Abegi, Baba, look bush. We have had enough of you. Mr. Jonathan, as for you...your day of reckoning is coming. You and your cohorts and sycophants should gear up and run Nigeria to the ground. Everyone of you will be in history

Iyabo, Ori e o pe rara Did you win the elections that got you into the upper legislative house on your own steam or Daddy dearest? Would you lie that no extra kobo apart from your salary entered your deep pockets? Its not as if you are a saint yourself. Or you think people have forgotten the Adeife and Akinola Sodipo-Akindeko issue. What I read of that incident wasn't what you was quoted up there. Ibi ti eyan o si, Olorun wa nibe. You've just behaved like a classic Omo Ale.


All of you are criminals! All of you. Bunch of clowns. E kosi kuro jare

for this post, i love you so so much.. I like ur critism; so unbaised.. Finally, i meet my equal, my match.. I'v been waitin for you all my life! i am sherlock paranorman holmes..

mandai01: Some of these spelling errors look unreal. I think most of them are old movies, this tread is really funny though

thank goodness you noticed too. Those subs with utmost grammitical blunders are photoshopped joh.. No mind the OP

leggo: no they weren't.

they were.

sandijey: Is anything wrong wiv my eye Tose Suntitles If I akes u??

look at it closely, you'd see they are photoshopped. Such mistakes hardly happen na. What happened to the 'after-shoot' activities before commercial release?

I cant believe some people fell for this crap? Those subtitles were video shopped. Tis so glarin.. Funny though, if you akes me.. Hehehehe

Hehehe

She said "know what you can tolerate".. She also said "my man has to be God-fearing.".. Moreso, she said, "....has to understand me." here's my take, objectively unbaisedly from these statements..
I wouldnt judge none of em since i havnt heard the two sides of d breakup story, but seems he does sometin she doesnt like, probably he kinda disrespects her, cheats on her bla bla bla.. Also, the 'he has got to understand me' parts got my attention. Prob he keeps tellin her about sometin her doesnt like about her, probably her tons of 'admirers', hyped social status, mayb he suspects her or she's no longer wifey material.. Just my assumptions sha. One tin i'v learned is never to judge breakups after listenin/readin a side of the story.. You gotta listen to the other side to pull out a thing or two coz dey hardly tell you where they went wrong demself or they fine-tune it. Pele jare toke. Wish you get hooked soon.

PocketEconomist: Mr man, say amen to this prayer... May you live long, may you find a wife that deserves you, and may cankerworm never eat up your wisdom. You so hit the nail on the head.

amen o.. Thanks bro, appreciate eet.

[quote author=b.omolu]You have said it all. Yet you forget the other ladies who actually do the opposite of all you have said. Yet Guys still leave them in chasing after the 'hot' and 'sexy' babes out there, claiming that they are boring. You should also enlighten guys about going for the right kind of women, because trust me hot and sexy ladies are getting married every Saturday, while the decent ones are still single.[/quote]true talk bro, but also, most dude wanna date a hot girl and end-up with a decent one. That's why the hot ones are always hooked, and atimes, you'd b suprise when you tease a decent pretty babe about her boyfriend and she tell you she aint got none! Besides, some of dem decent girls were once very bad,den, dey had men comin but when her biological clock has turned faster they they imagined, dey turn new leaf under the guise of 'husband-huntin'.. Seriously, when you see some babes, you'd pity their future husband that you aint know in advance. Some of dem decent girls also lack manners. Life itself is not fair.. We shouldnt put all the blame on our women, we men have bad roles we played in makin this problem.. Its high time we men started being responsible.

Ps.. To the men not boys; Never judge a book by the cover. atimes, what you want might not b what you actualy need. When a good responsible man hooks a virtuous woman, he has d best tresures in the whole world.. That why its written in the bible that," he who finds a wife has found a good tin, and he obtains favor from the Lord.. A virtuous woman is d wife d bible is talkin about. While the bibles teaches a woman to be submisive to her husband, it also teaches that the man should love her as he loves himself.. "two should become one".. That's why she's called ur better half. There'r are still virtuous woman out dere for good responsible men.. Just watch and pray.

crackhaus: Women never know what they really want, which in itself is a problem.
But that shouldn't bother us too much because if women didn't have problems, they wouldn't let us touch them.

Note- Women are usually smarter than we think they are, but never as smart as they think they are. #truestory
Interpreted in simple logic, it means that we under-estimate them while they over-estimate themselves...and this over-estimation of themselves is why they don't know what they really want.

Fakaay...bro, don't bother trying to understand or study women, you will either drop-out or come out with third-class at best...seriously!

lots of reply an i must confess they are quite good, esp the ones by you. But seriously, when A GOOD MAN falls in love with the RIGHT WOMAN,i.e., when you'r in a relationship with that man/woman created for you; ur soulmate, ur better half, den you wont have ta worry about this kinda questions..

Eeeeeew. Saw this on a FB wall. Please, you 'runs' girls should b careful this days o, ritualist are gettin smarter; way smarter than you think you are! Be satisfied with what you have, there's more to life than materialism... I weep for her loved ones sha..

NB: Should have posted the pics here but its just to gross to view... So your discretion is adviced..
