Is falling love that easy for you? Come on. Just mind your speech. You may not have had luck with the good girls but I have. This lady knew what was gonna happen if she told me. I want to believe she did it in the best interest. I'm just pissed and I ruined her surprise.

*modified; Trusting people is a problem here. I just didn't wanna lose her. So I assumed all the possibilities. She apologized and kinda assured me. Maybe I'll be indifferent. if she comes back to me, then so be it. Because I don't think I'm eager to fall in love again. Nairalanders can be funny tho.

And this is what I call mumu love. You've had your luck with good girls so you are not able to recognize the bad ones when you see them.

Long story. Can somebody please summarise.

It all depends on what you want.
Manual: Advantages :
1. Slightly cheaper than an automatic
2. Requires little or no maintenance (transmission system)
3. Can be fun to drive (for some folks)
4. Some of your friends (esp females) will not like to borrow your ride

Disadvantages :
1. Can be a chore to drive (for most people)

Automatic. Advantages
1. As a taxi driver, you can drive it from morning till night without being stressed out. Ie. It's very convenient to drive

Disadvantages
1. Slightly costlier than the manual
2. Needs more maintenance(fluid change and all)
3. Higher probability of transmission failure
4. Every Tom Dick and Harry be like "I can drive it nah, what's in it? "

lies,i think bastards are more welcomed by igbos than other tribes,i know of a bastard,she bears her mother's father name becos it is believed since the girl gave birth out of wedlock,the child automatically belongs to the girl's father


it is even a taboo to call her bastard,it dosent even exist in the igbo vocab like we yorubas say ''OMO ALE''
oya what is bastard in igbo language?

In my opinion I think that "bastards" are not common enough in igboland to necessitate giving a name.

WhatsApp is now completely FREE, but there’s a worrying CATCH
A+A-

WHATSAPP will drop its annual 69p in-app subscription fee within the next few weeks, co-founder Jan Koum has confirmed. But the hugely popular Facebook-owned app plans to replace the yearly cost with a worrying new revenue stream.


Facebook-owned WhatsApp is dropping its yearly 69p subscription cost in favour of a new model

WhatsApp is ditching its annual 69p subscription fee in favour of a new business model, founder Jan Koum has confirmed.
The WhatsApp creator made the announcement this morning at the Digital-Life-Design Conference in Munich.
WhatsApp is free to download on Android, iPhone, BlackBerry, Nokia and Windows 10 Mobile and lets users send text, video and audio around the world using a wifi or mobile data connection. The hugely popular app, which now boasts a staggering 900 million users across the globe, charges users a yearly 69p subscription to keep the messenger ad-free.
But that could be about to change.


WhatsApp allows users to send text, video, audio – and even make calls – for free

Founder Mr Koum said the subscription model “really doesn’t work for some people” and that other cross-platform messaging apps, like Facebook Messenger, are completely free to use.
WhatsApp plans to replace the 69p charge by connecting companies directly with users via the app.
Mr Koum admitted they have not settled on a final plan yet, but as it stands, it appears WhatsApp will charge multi-national companies to conduct customer service chats and calls via WhatsApp.

For example, an airline could use the app to contact customers about a flight cancellation or upcoming delays.
WhatsApp says despite the changes, its goal remains to avoid spam and unwanted advertising within the hugely-successful app.
In an official blog post, the messaging firm wrote: “Naturally, people might wonder how we plan to keep WhatsApp running without subscription fees and if today’s announcement means we’re introducing third-party ads.

“The answer is no.
"Starting this year, we will test tools that allow you to use WhatsApp to communicate with businesses and organizations that you want to hear from.
“That could mean communicating with your bank about whether a recent transaction was fraudulent, or with an airline about a delayed flight.
“We all get these messages elsewhere today – through text messages and phone calls – so we want to test new tools to make this easier to do on WhatsApp, while still giving you an experience without third-party ads and spam.”

WhatsApp was sold to Facebook for a staggering $19 billion, back in 2014

Facebook, which acquired WhatsApp for an eye-watering $19 billion in 2014, is already testing out the feature in its own Facebook Messenger app.
Select US companies have been given the opportunity to pay for the ability to message their customers directly via the app.
Facebook Chief Financial Officer David Wehner confirmed the possible business-to-consumer (B2C) integration at a technology conference in Boston.
"We think that enabling that B2C messaging has good business potential for us," he said.
The news comes after WhatsApp was named one of the worst smartphone apps for user privacy.


WhatsApp founders Jan Koum and Brian Acton are known for their staunch anti-advertisement policy within WhatsApp.
"We wanted to make something that wasn't just another ad clearinghouse," the pair wrote on the official WhatsApp blog.
"Advertising isn't just the disruption of aesthetics, the insults to your intelligence and the interruption of your train of thought.


WhatsApp co-founder Jan Koum has always been notoriously anti-advertising within his app


WhatsApp claims its goal remains to avoid spam within the free app

"At every company that sells ads, a significant portion of their engineering team spends their day tuning data mining, writing better code to collect all your personal data, upgrading the servers that hold all the data and making sure it's all being logged and collated and sliced and packaged and shipped out... And at the end of the day the result of it all is a slightly different advertising banner in your browser or on your mobile screen.
"Remember, when advertising is involved you the user are the product. At WhatsApp, our engineers spend all their time fixing bugs, adding new features and ironing out all the little intricacies in our task of bringing rich, affordable, reliable messaging to every phone in the world.
"That's our product and that's our passion. Your data isn't even in the picture. We are simply not interested in any of it."

I have always been optimistic about the fate of Nigeria until today.
I had gone out as early as 7:45am to one of the designated voters registration centres here in Abuja.
On getting there, I met a guy at the gate giving out serial numbers to people on queue, so I followed suit. Haven gotten the number, I decided to proceed to my place of work with the intention of coming back to complete the process later in the day as my number fell within the range of 200-250.

Few hours later, I decided to go to see if it was almost my turn. Alas! when I got there, there was some pockets of murmuring, revolting and random queues with those at the entrance to hall struggling to getting in.
Upon enquiry, I was told that people got angry as a result of some form of favouritism carried out by the INEC officials and decided not to follow the laid down process anymore.

I resolved within myself not to give up and waste another transport fare back home to come back and start another fresh process tomorrow. So I decided to talk to the policemen who were hanging out idly in their hilux truck. I lost all hope from there response I got from them... "In their words; there is nothing we can do, Nigeria don spoil finish".

The climax of the event was when an uptown lady came in a flashy hilux truck, and within a twinkle of an eye, the Hajiya in charge let her in and another INEC official (male) started to attend to her specially while all my pleas fell on deaf ears as the Hajiya practically, turned deaf ears to my calls.

I had no choice than to leave without any attempt to struggle as a guy was lamenting that his wallet stolen while he was struggling to get into the registration hall.

Is there really any hope for Nigeria?

Don't waste the little hope you have on Nigeria. Invest it on God and maybe on yourself.

She's kinda beautiful, the raw African type that we kind of overlook today. As opposed to the plasticky synthetic barbies that we're exposed to today.

APC fault. If they had paid the N5000 they promised, we wouldn't be looking for jobs now.

If not for rule 2, I would have said “May The Thunder of Shango & Amadioha Fire You” for poking your filthy nose into my business.

I don't need the mercy of your Anunnaki god. You can keep it for your family & neighbours.

There's nothing funny about always trying to be funny.

I wonder who gave you the right to post their pictures on Nairaland. In sane climes you could get sued for this.

And who gave you the right to view the thread. In crazy climes, you may be shot.

Hehehe!

That's just my way of booking for space
