One of the greatest skits ever.

niggaism

nigglet

niggarific

niggalicious





@ OP, I do consider it offensive. It's just a word though.

This ifele is a mad man. . .

More nonsense from Buhari.

Gayigaskia:
Mohamed Abacha ended up in CPC because he is not corrupt enough to be in PDP.

Nonsense.

@ alethia, excellent post.

I don't know why everyone is so insistent on ignoring Buhari's glaring Abacha connection. Buhari is obviously a friend to the most criminal political family in all of Africa.

fellis:
Those doing it are mostly those that were forced by their husbands into being full time housewives.

Do you actually believe this?  Or are you just making up stuff?

Nekai:
1. Hmmm.  By your own definition, if the only reason a man desires marriage is for sex and kids, then it is true that men desire and want to be married.
2. Taking care of a home is, in most cases, in addition to having a real job.
3. A woman sacrifices her body for the pleasure of herself and her children. But she also sacrifices her body so that her husband can have the pleasure of becoming a father. Most women would not choose to sacrifice her body in this way for a mere boyfriend, no matter how much she wants the pleasure of being a mother. A man sacrifices his freedom, but the woman also sacrifices her freedom. Most men are free to pursue their dream educational path or career before and after marriage and kids. A man can choose to move their entire family anywhere in the world for a job opportunity. After work, men are free to pursue their vocational interests and indulge in recreational activity. After a full day of work, a woman comes home to continue to work by feeding her children, doing their hair, the laundry, the housework, ect. A man comes home just in time for a ready made dinner and to tuck his kids in bed. While the woman continues cleaning up, the husband relaxes. Then later the man often expects his wife to be ready for this sex he married her for. (Which may or may not be work in the woman's case if she is up for it.)
The next day it starts all over again with the husband going to work in his clothes that were cleaned and ironed by his wife, and the wife getting both herself and the kid(s) ready and going to work.

The sacrifice of freedom goes both ways.

1. You don't really need to be married to have lots of sex or multiple kids. I was just highlighting that in societies where marriage seems to be working, the reasons men desire marriage usually aren't romantic. This is lost on some people who assume men look at marriage the same way that many women do.
2. Seemed like you were comparing only housework with a real job.  I don't know about that "most cases" statement. All I know is that they don't really compare, despite claims to the contrary.
3. You're painting an extremely specific scenario here which doesn't necessarily apply to most households (definitely not true for my own parents), but anyways, my point is childbirth is voluntary and it's not really a "sacrifice." Hearing the process of childbearing and childbirth being called a sacrifice just seems ridiculous to me. It's like distorting a necessary process and portraying it as a burden. By the same reasoning that one can claim a woman is "sacrificing her body" to bear a child, couldn't one claim, especially in the scenario you just painted, that a man is "sacrificing his relationship with his kids and wife" to earn money to feed, clothe, and shelter the family? Yet we know that that's something that just has to be done. It's not really a sacrifice on the man's part. If the man and woman want to feed the family, he has to go away from them and work. Likewise, if the man and woman want a child, she has to physically bear it.

I was thinking of real life sacrifices like completely giving up progression in some ideal career. Because it is almost always the woman who stunts her career for the family, I think the woman sacrifices more, but not for reasons of childbirth.

money. . .

Nekai:
It's sad that alot of men that are raised by single moms turn out despising women. It's natural for these guys to only see the negative things associated with raising a family, since they never saw their dad do anything. It seems like these men are trying to find reasons in their mind to rationalize away the need for a father/husband to stick around. Because to acknowledge that marriage is desireable, wanted, and respected by men, is to acknowledge that their absentee dads are really sad individuals. (Even if the dad is late, these boys sometimes grow up to misunderstand the role of a father in the home.)
Any man that was raised by both parents would have seen that a marriage isn't always perfect, but the good times outweigh the bad, especially if you have found the right person.

Both husband and wife make sacrifices in a marriage.

The man, who is the head, bears the burden of responsibility. As the oldest child I understand that this invisible pressure can sometimes be overwhelming. However, as much as I resented it at times, this pressure has pushed me to succeed. The pressure that a man faces in a marriage should push him to succeed. It is a weak man indeed who will destroy/tear down their marriage by abusing or cheating on his wife. If you can't control your sexual desire or your anger, most likely you do not have the control necessary to be successful in the real world.
The woman is responsible for  the household duties. It is no easy task to keep a house running amoothly. It can be a full time job by itself. In childbearing a woman must sacrifice her body. This is more intense than it seems, because a woman has shoulder this responsibility alone, even though the man might be by her side. In the case of a miscarriage or stillbirth it is the woman who suffers the longest, in most cases these things haunt her for life because she will feel like her body failed the baby. Pregnancy is not easy. A woman goes through a whole lot of misery in those 9 months. And childbirth itself is an unbelievable amount of agonizing pain. After, the woman is tied down to the baby 24/7. A man thinks he gives up his freedom? He most likely knows nothing about being shackled to a mini person for months and years. It basically makes the woman do double duty because she has to feed, cloth, clean, and entertain another person beside herself for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Every other child multiplies this effort.

Bottom line, a mother sacrifices more for the children. My mother sure did. That doesn't mean she contributes the most, but sacrifice, yes.

1. Marriage is neither "desirable, wanted, etc." by men, except when they're reaching 40 and have no children and no legacy. It's all about sex or about having kids. The overwhelming majority of men in this world are not romantic. Sexually active, yes, but not romantic. There's a very real reason that successful marriages are on the decline in many Western countries and in those (mostly developing) countries where it isn't on the decline, romance is an almost alien concept to men.
2. It's actually pretty easy taking care of a home compared to a real job, unless that job is simple, part-time, low-wage, etc.
3. Saying that a woman "sacrifices her body" for her children is exactly like saying a man "sacrifices his freedom" for his children. It's ridiculous. How is it a sacrifice if you're deliberately doing something for your own pleasure (the joy of having children, being a father/mother) and benefit? People don't seem to understand the connotations of the word sacrifice.

Just clearing up some misconceptions.

Julia Roberts is massively overrated, anyways.

harakiri:
This is the part that always baffles me. How many women would choose their careers over raising THEIR OWN KIDS? This kind of talk would be strange to mothers decades ago but today (no thanks to feminism), a woman believes she is entitled to certain privileges because she gave birth TO HER OWN KIDS! Sometimes i wonder if people listen to themselves when they utter this kind of statements.

Marriage is all about the interest of WOMEN! A man has little or NOTHING to gain from marriage. There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING marriage "offers" a man that he can't get WITHOUT the marriage. Who craves for commitment during a relationship? Women! Who pushes for marriage? Women! Who wants to have the big white wedding? Women! Who wants to have kids asap? Women! And yet after the man has succumbed to all this manipulation, he's still expected to be "grateful" to his woman for bearing HER OWN KIDS! Una dey listen to una selfs sometimes?

I already pointed out that marriage is a woman thing and that men gain little from it that they couldn't get without it. Good men acknowledge that a marriage is necessary for growing children, so (the good ones) always stay so that their children can grow up in the kind of stable and supportive environment that they grew up in. Otherwise, men wouldn't stay.

My point was that the woman could have  a career and the man could stay home and take care of the kids, but because somebody has to be the homemaker and caregiver, it usually ends up being the woman, although it could be the man. That the woman doesn't often get to be the caregiver and the successful earner was my point. If she does both, she's overworked and this usually only happens when the man is unemployed or something. But many women do want fulfilling careers and they do give them up or limit their progression along their career path for their children. This is rare among men though, so in my opinion the woman sacrifices more.

Nigerian men don't "sacrifice" by sticking by their family instead of walking out when the woman frustrates and disrespects them.

For a Nigerian father, it's really all about their kids, which they are obligated to provide for and help raise if they want to be able to show their face around their relatives, friends, etc,  This is just something that's understood in most Nigerian cultures without it needing to be said. A Nigerian man sticking by his family has nothing to do with the woman. If there is no child in the relationship, the marriage will dissolve immediately after serious arguments/conflicts. I've seen it happen with Nigerians here in America and have no doubt the same obtains back in Nigeria.


@ some posters in this thread, if you actually think any man has anything to gain from marriage other than steady sex and/or offspring, you are either utterly clueless about men or a delusional romantic.




However, women (usually) sacrifice more by stunting their careers for marriage, in my opinion.

Mr. Cork was saying Peckham was where millionaires live.


However,

Peckham is a high-crime area with high levels of gang violence, for which it has a notorious reputation, despite a £290 million regeneration programme in the late 1990s and early 2000s.[4][5][6] Camberwell and Peckham, the constituency that contains Peckham, is one of the most deprived in the country.


Gangs

Peckham has extremely high crime rates and gang violence in the area for which it is notorious for. There are many gangs in Peckham. The main gangs are The Peckham Boys, also referred to as Black Gang. Its members are primarily Black British. The Peckham Boys are composed of several affiliated sets. These include Pecknarm Young Gunners (PYG), SN1 (Spare No-one) and Peckham Kids (PK). Peckhams main rivals are Brixton situated approximately 3 miles to the west of Peckham and 3.8 miles south east or Charring Cross.

Estates

Peckham has numerous "run-down" council estates which are often given the title of "sink estates". The most notorious estate in Peckham was the North Peckham Estate where Damilola Taylor was murdered in 2000. The estate was later demolished as part of a regeneration plan. There are now new blocks of flats built on the old site.

I wonder if he was just being funny, because he seemed serious about living in Peckham. If he's telling the truth, then I don't envy him.

Shouldn't the giant cats cancel out the giant rats?

henry101:
The District Head of Kakuri, Kaduna South Local Government Area, Alhaji Shehu Tijjani, has raised the alarm over [size=13pt]the invasion of the community by giant exotic rats and cats[/size].



The monarch alleged that the giant rodents and cats were brought into the community through the containers belonging to companies operating in the neighbouring industrial area.



[size=13pt]The monarch said this while speaking at the graduation ceremony[/size] of about 10 beneficiaries of the Total Nigeria Plc Skills Acquisition Programme.



He added that the giant rats and cats which now constituted a nuisance to the residents of the area, came into the community through the containers used by the firms to import raw materials.



He therefore [size=13pt]urged the government to save the residents of the area from the menace of these foreign rats and cats[/size] by carrying out an extensive[size=13pt] fumigation of the community[/size].



According to him, the companies responsible for the unfortunate development has never bothered to assist the people in getting rid of the rodents and the cats.



He said, “Total Nigeria Plc is the only company that is assisting our youths through this training; [size=13pt]others are importing foreign rats and cats to cause problems for us[/size] in the community.



“They bring these rats through their containers which they use for their industrial products. They don’t help us to fumigate the area.”



Tijjani commended the management of Total Nigeria for sponsoring the training of the youths in the community in various trades and advised the beneficiaries to use the opportunity given to them by the oil firm to assist others in the community.



The Corporate Affairs Manager of Total Nigeria Plc, Mrs. Moyo Areola, had earlier in her address, said that over N25m was spent on the training and procurement of work tools and equipment for the 10 beneficiaries.

lmao

Ribadu is not serious.

Fetching water? In Peckham? Where "millionaires live"?


No butler for that?




Mr. Cork has never left his village.

Atreides:
My perfect date? Movie,popcorn and coke,shikena. Which kain of candle-lit dinner is that? Is it that Nepa has refused to give us light or no fuel? How am i supposed to see what i'm eating if there's no light? Picnic? Well i don't like sitting on sand/grass. Sand could enter my shoes + i could get grass stains. Nigerian guys are very fond of buying all those useless plastic flowers. God help the guy who brings me plastic flowers. And even if they're real,what do i want to use flowers for? I go chop flower? Shey i be goat? I don't want to watch the stars after sunset. Nights are meant for sleeping. And i don't want to watch the sunrise either. If God wanted me to watch the sunrise,dawn would've been by 10a.m. I need my morning sleep. That's when sleep is the sweetest. . So i'll stick with movies,popcorn and coke. And none of those looks burning with white hot desire. This no be Mills and Boons. Face the movie,chop your food and let's go. Okay maybe that sounds extreme,but i don't think i'm the romantic type.

lmao

What's this supposed to be?

What's the other 33%?


Hopefully this non-oil trend continues and increases.

Dropped.

People are moving away from that kinda stuff all over the world. . .that's just the truth.
