Cuddlemii:
Ok. I like the way you encourage the entrepreneurs on here. Remember you asked me to be a writer too. Why are you offline again

sorry had stepped out.
You always remind me of the lady in this link. http://www.carolinenderitu.com/
Some talents are natural not learned and they live forever. You can do poetry be a motivational speaker plus some bit of etiquette stuff.
Any thing to improve an individual ie.
Own your blog and fill it with romantic poetry.You will see traffic and I will be the first.
Babe can have her fashion blog as well. I will also log in.

She's doing a better job than some paid models guess cz of her frame and so much for fun.
lovely.

^ no I think the minute they took a look at your profile.
Do you do modelling part time? cz know u r into medicine stuff. you look very pretty and slim.
slim rocks.

US,Britain,France,Next? vultures indeed.
Go in there and shred libya further I dont feel sorry cz they are now free to express themselves.
Give them the gun salute libyans when they come to scoop their share. They deserve it for sure because He s dead.
emahs.

^^ you are one person who sees beyond the surface. If a leader tries to resist this take over hes eliminated by his own people with foreign backup. Africa will always be slaves to the master because they give us loans which bind us forever.

Chima as funny as always
But am suprised by the responses.I have always believed that nigerians love their women big. I dont know when they started loving slim.

This is where most men fail.They assume that the tricks employed to seduce one woman will work on another.
Women are very strange creatures. You may approach a woman exuding confidence and intelligence and end up being labeled 'proud'
You may try flirt and it backfires on you. Some women are open and express themselves well.Some are quite shy and reserved.
Some love things moving fast while other like taking things slow,step by step.
Find out her type by observing her then devise ways of seducing her so that your approach does not clash with her attitude.

afrika:
in my case, this theory do not work. i ve a gurl that loves me, but each time in a week, she gets to fault me. now, i do d welcome back and beg d beg despite where d fault or whose to blame. now, wen she first met me, she fell in love. what makes ha find fault in me. doe, this has been on like dt. but, if i go and find her, she reconciles d matter dt we both dont knw and d love continues. wat does all these mean, experienced colleagues. can she be d one or ,

Those qualities the characteristics that make up the individual need a medium to operate through.
That medium is a shell called body.We only say you are a caring person after you have expressed it through your body.
The qualities(good/bad) emanate from the human soul.In short a body without a soul is dead. you cannot separate the 2 and stay alive.
The environment we live in at times affects the way we react but it doesn't change who we are as a person.Its like that rubberband which you stretch but when you release it goes back to its original state. Ice is still water but in a solid state.The composition doesn't change.
The state changes under different pressure and temp.
So  if you ask me, your girl forgives you because she knows your original composition.She doesn't care that you changed and annoyed her because that was you under pressure. you melted or boiled but kp going back your original self which she loves.

MONONUCLEOSIS,typhoid,hepatitis test, Lord God OP your going beserk here.
You worry is what is killing you slowly and the next disease to knock is ulcers.
Wait till 6 months are over then do another test. I know right now you see,dream and talk Hiv.In the meantime just pray that all is well and keep your mind busy with other stuff.
Look here even if it turns out positive,your health and future are the key things to spend energy on,not revenge.

Before u devise ways just understand that what tickles one girl may be irritating to another.
You got to understand her type first before you approach her with your laid out strategy coz it could backfire.
And how do you get to know her? simple, talk to her and find out more about her.
That way you spend energy on what she loves instead of guessing,assuming and asking why.

use it to rebuild libya.its their money isnt it?

eddy1977:
F@ck him. f@ck all cameroonians.in fact, f@ck all of us subsharan africans for being a low race.we are somewhere between monkeys and humans.
oh god,why did u make me african?

That is one very angry African man.

The only way to oust such a leader is for the opposition to form one strong party and throw him out through vote power.
It has happened in other African countries so what is wrong with others? Dont people ever get tired?
Problem with Africans is that the opposition is weak and greedy.Everybody wants to be president and so we never succeed.
Look at the kind of opposition in Cameroon sharing a bed with the goverment!

These kind of stories are a result of worshipping virginity.Making it a small godess and any girl not worshipping it is branded evil and lose.
So do you expect the prostitute on the street to claim shes not one if she knws admiting will to ruin her chances of getting/keeping a guy?
I advocate for virginity b4 marriage for religious reasons but if I were a guy I wld pick a non-virgin angel than a virgin drama filled witch,

sauer:
I have been tryin 2 respond to d thread by claiming that qualities make up an individual, who is just a void without them. And that individuals can't change 'fundamentally'. Accordin 2 one poster, their core should remain essentially same. Bt then, certain diseases or accidents can indeed render people exceedingly fundamentally different from whom they had been. There are documented cases of people rendered totally changed in personality after major accidents. So, those qualities can indeed b reversd, while the individual remains same.
Kafka's metamorphosis details an hypothetical case.
Following this, am led to conclude nearly all people actually love others' qualities, for a start. When they then lose these qualities, it is left to their loved ones to choose to continue loving them as individuals. . .

You know you make sense but you made me think a bit. What is the difference btwn the individual and a body?
An individual is made up of a soul (qualities) body and mind. We get attracted by the qualities in the individual.
Now if the qualities are compromised as you say,then the individual is also compromised because the soul (qualities) which is also the human life is the individual.In short you are the qualities.
I think I would agree with you if the human qualities reside in the body and not soul.

you are not specific here.
If it's biz,ask. >> exchange cards or write down
If its a complete stranger, no thanks>> Walk away as fast as I can
If its somebody am eyeing, well courtesy demands that I do so.>>get to know their names first, buy them coffee and pick it from there.

Now your last question is funny. If you don't fancy the person just tell them No, I do not share private contacts unless we have something going on.

Its not recommended cz of policy but c'mmon people meet in offices,date and marry

Now if she's interested

>she will keep passing by your desk every now and then and look for the slightest excuse to meet you.eg dropping unnecessary docs at your desk when you least expect.
>She will dress to kill. Notice a change in her wardrobe.
>She will keep praising you to her co workers.Her hope being that you get wind of it.
>Her work perfomance goes up. She will arrive in office on time and leave after you have left or when you are about to leave
>She will talk to you seductively. Trying to act official but with a seductive tone here and there. Her body language also speaks a lot.
>Check the way she smiles,looks into your eyes,swings her hips,plays with her hair, and moves her hands.
>And yes cologne.

It's not alien to African culture. People in Africa have been doing it for centuries. Because the white man came and force fed you beliefs on what is "right" and "wrong" doesn't mean it never existed with Africa. Kenya's Chief Justice, Dr Willy Mutunga wears a stud on his ear. His stud carries symbolic and religious connotations, he explained himself [not that he had to]. Personally, I have nothing against guys who have earring. Hell, I've even been with dudes who have gauges in their eyes. One of my favorite front man from one of my favorite bands has a gauge in his ears. For me it depends on the good. It's not always a look that looks good on everyone. I'm about the get a new piercing and I've encountered some hostility from some Africans but for me, I really don't care. Ultimately, it'll be up to me to decide. It's all about personal choice.[/quote]right there.
That earing stirred up debates for wks till he was willing to give up the position than remove it. It was symbolic to him not fashion.

if u choose to wear it be careful where you wear it lest you get misunderstood and mistaken for what you are not.

US FORCES JOIN KENYAN BATTLE


Al Shabaab militants were on the back foot on Saturday evening as they faced heavy bombardment from multiple fronts from a combined force of Kenyan troops, US drones, African Union peacekeepers and Transitional Federal Government fighters.

There was progress on the diplomatic front, too, when the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (Igad) member states endorsed the military offensive against the militants during a special conference held in Addis Abba Ethiopia on Friday.

The Igad Council of Ministers urged the United Nations Security Council to impose a blockade on Kismayu, a move which will effectively cut off billions of shillings collected by the militants to fund their insurgency.

The Kenya army alone is reported to have deployed at least 4,000 soldiers backed by Transitional Federal Somalia Government troops for a ground invasion of Kismayu.

Navy ships fitted with heavy weapons are reported to have arrived in the Somalia territorial waters and set up base around Bajuni Islands of Kudai, Ndoa, Chuvaye, Koyama, Fuma Iyu na Tini and Nchoni Islands


and the battle continues

The US military base is in neighbouring Djibouti

Djibouti is one the most important US military bases throughout the world. Here, US forces monitoring assumed terrorist groups in the Middle East, Africa's Horn and East Africa are headquartered. It's Located only 50 kilometres south-west of the Arabian Peninsula

The British Army is the one with base in Kenya.They practically live here!

see how the whole game is playing.
British(Tullow)> bribery claims> museveni's jet claims,( how much does he owe the US? see they have still have him in their hold)they are even accusing him of receiving bribe from ENI the italian firm and then Kony comes in the mix.
And here is Museveni himself talking about Partnering with the chinese. 2 forces will bring him down.Am sure you know them by now.
crazy.

thameamead:
They wined, dinned and wooed Gaddafi and later they turned against him, they armed the rebels, got NATO involved and toppled Gaddaffi  purely because of its huge oil reserve.

The West tried to overthrow the president of Equitoral Guinea but they failed, with the help of the French Government, they are freezing the assets of the President in France under the disguise of freezing his assets because they believe he bought the expensive cars with aid money given by the West, hisssss

You know in my own small mind,I smell that kind of thing playing out in Uganda.Many pple believe that M7 is dining with the west but after hearing what Clinton said and her justification of arming rebels to oust a 'dictator' makes me believe that tables could turn faster than you think.
That is why I said Kony is only but a bait.Its not him they are targeting. Again thts only my opinion.
God knows where the US have been all these years that the guy has been maiming,Desecrating kids and killing innocent civilians.
Hes not even in Uganda but somewhere around the Central African Republic.

All these tax evasion is what put a stop to further contracts being awarded.Its an ongoing debate in parliament.
Its good to see the outside influence cz they have a way of digging out past skeletons if they are really intent on tarnishing your image and taking over.
What puzzles me is that the Ugandans still believe in M7.

Those were Lord Ashcroft's accusation.But they were not verified.

According to highly placed sources, who participated in inspection of the aircraft in Savannah, USA, government paid Shs88.2 billion financed through HSBC Bank, an American bank.

When controversy over the huge cost of a new jet for President Yoweri Museveni first broke, Parliament was told that the old plane would be sold off to help raise money for the purchase.
State House contracted a US-based sales agent, Mike Ellis Associates, to handle the sale.The government only got a token from this deal,
During a meeting of the House Presidential and Foreign Affairs Committee, State House Comptroller Richard Muhinda told MPs that the Gulfstream GIV SP, which the government procured in 2000 at a cost of $31.5 million (about Shs60 billion) would be sold to pave way for acquisition of a new jet.
Well some of the reasons they gave to justify the purchase were; the new plane would require less fuel than Museveni's existing presidential jet, need fewer inspections and stopovers on long-haul flights and be cheaper to maintain.
The government will either take out a loan from HSBC to buy the jet or borrow $28 million from the central bank, the rest of the cost being covered by proceeds from the sale of his existing plane. They said.

Why UK is making the allegations and US is saying nothing about the loan beats me.

I create blogs out of passion not business. Its not really a nigeian problem cz am not in nigeria.
I even created company group blog consisting of staff from all over to share but men teaching people how to do it after the invite was very stressful.
People don't want to read instructions! They want to click and voila! 
These were my observtns.

1. People look at blogs as social site. You need lots of work if you are into it for biz.
2. People are either too lazy or too busy to blog.I even forget I have a personal blog!
3. Ignorance.Explaining to people how to create topics and post is a headache.Most even after you make them administrators they stil have no clue where to start
4. The DESIGN! most blogs are poorly designed with poor colours. First impressions matter to me.
5. There are so many sites out there.People are into everything and blogging becomes a headache.

@ chipmunkey what was ur secret? Was it ur target audience,subject or the design?

wow poster.I am loving this. informative.

Yesterday, Tory MP Daniel Kawcynski said Libya should use its oil wealth to pay back some of what Britain had spent in the fight to oust Gaddafi.

Mr Clegg’s comments came as Defence Secretary Philip Hammond said[b] UK firms should move quickly to secure contracts to rebuild Libya.[/b]

He said: “I would expect British companies to be packing their suitcases and looking to get to Libya to take part in the reconstruction of that country as soon as they can.”

Kenyan soldier guards some of the displaced who have been trekking for 2 days from somalia to Dadaab refugee camp in Kenya.
The refugees crossed into the country even after the Government announcement it had closed the border to forestall incursions by Al Shabaab militants.

I hope somalia will be a free Nation one day.

KENYA TARGETS AL SHABAB LIFELINE

Kenyan military planners have targeted the capture of Kismayu and two nearby secondary ports to cut off billions of shillings earned by al Shabaab to finance their insurgency.

The imminent capture of Kismayu and the secondary ports of Marka and Baraawe will suddenly cut off money earned by al Shabaab from port fees, illegal smuggling of sugar and other commodities to Kenya and the export of charcoal, according to a recent UN report.

It is estimated that al Shabaab earns up to Sh5 billion ($50 million) a year in port fees and Sh6 billion ($60 million) in business taxes.

al Shabaab also levies fees from road checkpoints, human traffickers and gun runners, according to the report.

The Kenyan troops have already captured six towns during their six-day military onslaught against the militants, including the pirates’ haven of Ras Kamboni, Dhobley, Tabda, Beles Qooqani, Oddo and Kolbio

The strategy appears to involve a two-pronged assault on Kismayu using a combined force of the Kenya Navy and the Kenya Army.
Details of how al Shabaab have converted Kismayu and smuggling routes into lucrative money collection centres is contained in the latest UN monitoring group report on Somalia.

The report, released at the end of July, says the group generates between $35 million and $50 million per year from port revenues, of which at least $15 million is based on trade in charcoal and sugar.

This is done through a co-ordinated trading cycle built upon the export of charcoal, which in turn finances the import of sugar, much of which is subsequently smuggled across as contraband into neighbouring countries, particularly Kenya, says the report.

Fraudulent invoicing

“Shipping companies deliver sugar to Kismayu and collect charcoal for the return journeys. Bank accounts in the Gulf States where the profits of this trade are deposited can be used to launder voluntary contributions to al Shabaab through fraudulent invoicing, overvaluing of import proceeds and undervaluing of exports,” reads the report.

This trade cycle is dominated by networks of prominent Somali businessmen operating mainly between Somalia and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, notably Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.

al Shabaab not only attracts their business by imposing lower rates of taxation in Kismayu than at ports controlled by the Transitional Federal Government but also actively promotes large-scale imports of sugar and exports of charcoal by offering preferential access and tax breaks to al Shabaab affiliated businesses.

“Consequently, many Somali traders avoid Mogadishu, preferring to discharge their cargoes at Kismayu or other ports where import taxes are lower.

“For example, Mogadishu port authorities charge an import duty in the amount of $1,300 on a mid-size vehicle,” reads the report.

At Kismayu al Shabaab charges only $200. Even if e transporter then wishes to deliver the vehicle to Mogadishu, it costs another $200, including driver fees, fuel and miscellaneous expenses, to drive the car from Kismayu to Mogadishu.

“The vast majority of imports via Kismayu are not intended to serve the local population, but are destined for other parts of southern Somalia that could be equally or better served by Mogadishu or be smuggled into neighbouring countries as contraband,” reads the 417-page report.

“The Monitoring Group has confirmed that most commercial motor vessels transporting goods to the port of Mogadishu discharge only part of their cargoes in order to deliver the remainder to Kismayu and collect charcoal destined to GCC countries — with the full knowledge of the Mogadishu port authority,”

some news make me appreciate my home village where there are no missiles, wars and rumours of war. Just farms, few drunkards and ordinary citizens going about their humble work.

I lack words.

y me:
For some peeps they can't find a reason why they love a particular person Nd thts what I call real love. Because love does not have a certain reason or quality.

^^lol but it has a cause don't you think so?

I thought the kind of love you are talking about exists between parents and kids or siblings.You know close relations.Its called unconditional love.
God's love too.Thief/murderer/liar/cheat/LovePeddler/polite/kind/caring you just love without reason.
But in a guy/gal relationship there's is always a trace,a reason,a quality.It could be the soft or deep voice that makes your knees go weak or the look in that melts your heart or his caring attitude plus intelligence.What is the spark? am sure you will mention something if you look well.

tricky quest this is roki.
funny toba u though exactly like I did.

Mmmh,what makes an individual are his/her qualities. That's why we say hes a bad guy or a mean gal. Now how do we separate the individual from qualities cz its like removing the soul from the body.
Qualities whether good /bad= individual.( my opinion)

Anyway assuming an individual here refers to physical appearance,the body ie .Given an option I would go for both. ie inner and outer qualities.
But since there's none, I will choose the inner qualities because:
1. the outer wears out with time while the inner does not,
2. the outer could get damaged/destroyed but the inner remains the same.
3. the outer is only but a shell to carry the inner qualities.And we know it's the qualities which help you deal with life and make decisions.

Just pray that you get both cz its all God given.
