It’s 2.15 am. The alarm didn’t ring, but I wake up. Shortly, I hear him coming towards my room.
He drags his feet in a way that I recognise. How did we both wake up at the same time? The deep calls to the deep. He says that when he holds the microphone and speaks in that powerful voice in our church. He talks about a natural connection…but I don’t understand. Is there a natural connection between us? Today is six days after I became six. Daddy said we will celebrate in a special way. He said he will teach me something. He says I am so beautiful. He says he can kill Mum for me. I feel good hearing that. I got a special toy last week. Mummy shouldn’t see it. It’s a plastic stick, and sounds like angry bees. He said I should put it into my wee-wee anytime I want to remember him. I tried it. It was very sweet. Today.
Daddy opens the door, and smiles at me. His teeth are lovely. I smile back. He covers my body with his own. His heart beats softly. It stops.
He doesn’t rub my lap.

lordkit2: Men of the Oyo State Joint Security Task Force, codenamed "Operation Burst" allegedly ordered that a lady be sexually assaulted as punishment for dressing indecently, Tuesday.
The group, made up of policemen, soldiers Air Force personnel, SSS, and NSCDC, was re-launched on August 4th, by Governor Abiola Ajumobi to curb crimes in the state.
However, they are notorious for beating innocent civilians who they think are improperly dressed. A 2011report by The Nation said that girls and women who wear trousers or short dresses were harassed by the personnel.
Men who wear earrings, dreadlocks and Afro hairstyles are beaten up.

ediama: Expecting forgiveness from some women is like waiting for a ship in an airport. . Once you have decided, activate spirituality. The porton that says FORGIVE OTHERS THEIR SINS so that urs maybe forgiven, is like they don't read it. Yet they are more in religious gathering.
I once told a committed girl in church that I can't go on committing immorality with her that we should avoid places that we maybe left on our own to avoid temptation. I said this cause my conscience was accusing me of sin after the preaching I heard, I was very sorry for myself and I needed to live right.
I explained everything to this girl but the answer she gave me shocked me! She said, what non sense are you talking about? Just tell me you have found another girl and stop hiding under preaching to talk non sense.
My dear, that was the day I asked myself a question... WHAT DO WOMEN FEAR IN THIS WORLD! If one can't fear God, what else. You maybe thinking that that girl or woman fear God...let anything, I repeat anything stand between her and her treasure that's when you will be in for a shocker.
Don't worry too much about looks or skills, look for one who fears God. Truth is only God can lead you to her or bring her your way.

Romance › Re: 5 Reasons Not To Sleep With A Virgin by poik(m): 3:35pm On Jul 22, 2017 |
enimcnite: Taking a girl’s virginity is a popular male fantasy, but if they stopped to consider the reality of the situation, the fantasy might start to look more like a nightmare. It may be an ego boost to imagine being a girl’s first and taking her precious virginity, bookmarking yourself in the annexes of her mind forever. However, there are aspects of making her a woman that could be less than pleasurable. So, before you unlock that chastity belt, get an idea of what you’re getting yourself into. Here are five reasons not to sleep with a virgin that you should consider before taking the plunge.
1- There’s extra prep work Unlike a more experienced woman, a virgin really doesn’t know what to expect. This means that you’re going to have to put in some effort before the deed is done and plan ahead to make sure that she’s comfortable and completely willing. It may take some considerable convincing on your part to get her into bed, and while that isn't one of our five reasons not to sleep with a virgin, your seduction skills will certainly be put to the test when it comes to taking a girl’s virginity. Also, the older she is, the harder it will be. If she has managed to protect her virginity all through her school days and into her 20s, it will be that much more difficult to persuade her that she should give it up to you.
2- There’s a freak-out potential When it comes to having sex with a virgin, the potential for her to freak out before, during or after the sex act is quite high. She may decide at the last minute that she doesn’t want to go through with it or she may feel massively guilty afterward for having done it. Because so much importance is put on her virginity, her first time is bound to be an emotional experience, which means that you might have to deal with panic, sadness, guilt, and other unpleasant reactions. She has probably imagined the event for a long time and wants it to go absolutely perfectly. If even the slightest thing doesn’t go according to plan, it could result in tears and tantrums. If you don’t like watching girls cry, don’t sleep with virgins. That’s a lot of pressure and that’s why it’s among our five reasons not to sleep with a virgin.
3- She’ll likely get attached It is fairly likely that a recently devirginised girl will expect to have a lasting relationship with the guy that bedded her. If you’re not planning on becoming her boyfriend, or at least continuing to date her, don’t sleep with her. It’s really that simple. Very few girls imagine their first time with someone who drops off the face of the earth immediately afterward, never to be heard from again. She’s going to want you to stick around, so if a relationship is not in your plan, consider this point in our list of five reasons not to sleep with a virgin and find someone else to share your bed.
4- She lacks skills Since she’s inexperienced, she’s probably not going to be that good in bed, and that’s a big reason not to sleep with a virgin. There are exceptions to this rule, of course, since there are plenty of skills a girl can learn before she loses her actual virginity. If, however, she has little experience with sexual activity in general, the encounter is not going to be all that pleasurable for you. If all you want is the power trip that comes from taking her virginity, then you’re golden, but if you want a mutually satisfying sexual experience, you should look for someone who has had time to develop some sexual skills.
5- It could get messy There is a possibility that having sex with a virgin could literally make a mess of your sheets. Being penetrated for the first time is likely to hurt her and it could result in some bleeding. If the sight of blood makes you squeamish, devirginising a girl is not for you. A woman’s first sexual experience can leave a very unsexy mess to clean up.
where no man has gone before As you can see, taking a girl’s virginity is not all that it’s cracked up to be. There are groundwork concerns, emotional issues, commitment questions, technique problems, and other more tangible messes to deal with. So perhaps you should leave the devirginising to the secondary school boys and look for a sexual encounter that isn’t quite so complicated. Anyways, this is for pre marital sex. A wife who is untouched is the best thing that can happen to a man |
Culture › Re: 4 Things Igbo People Like. by poik(m): 6:59pm On Jul 21, 2017 |
Opinionated: Igbo Kwenu! The Igbo people are an ethnic group native to the southeastern and some part of the south central Nigeria. They are an interesting people with a culturally rich heritage and are indeed admirable. Jumia Travel, the leading online travel agency, shares 4 things Igbo people like.
Gatherings
For their gatherings, the Igbos prefer a silent and quiet environment. Some might assume that this might make their gatherings dull, but this is totally not the case. The Igbos have a way of making themselves happy even amidst the silence and quietness through some philosophical type discussions, sharing drinks and basically privately relating within themselves, family members and a couple of friends.
The Women
Igbo women are typically raised to be bold and somewhat comfortable with their sexuality. If an Igbo woman likes a man, it will show in no time in the way she relates with him and behaves around him. However, if an Igbo woman doesn’t like a man, she is unlikely to turn him down harshly rather she will continue to be a friend to the man, pet his head, keep him at arm’s length while still giving him just the right amount of attention to know she appreciates his affection towards her.
Proverbs
There is hardly a Nigerian tribe that loves the use of proverbs like the Igbos. The use of proverbs seems to be embedded in the very foundation of the culture of the Igbo people. Even when there are fights, especially amongst themselves, they are not accustomed to getting physical. They will typically raise their voices and very sternly make their points and end by delivering threats to one another which are usually in form of proverbs before walking away.
Business
The Igbos are arguably the most business savvy tribe in the country. When it comes to entrepreneurial ventures, they are known to take the front seat. There is a common saying: “Give an Igbo man one thousand naira and he will make a million out of it”. Though this might not be true in every circumstance, you have to admit that there is hardly a group of people more business and entrepreneurially inclined as the Igbos. This is because Igbos seem to be the ones with the larger propensity for risk taking that business and entrepreneurial ventures involve.

Romance › Re: Reasons To Marry A Virgin.. by poik(m): 12:16pm On Jul 14, 2017 |
Buchi95: I’d Love To Marry A Virgin...
I've always wished to not get married to any woman who's sexually active and most especially has variety of adventurous sexual history. I still haven't changed my stance on this. There's a pressure that comes with being with most past sexual adventurers. It gives them something to compare you with.
There's a subconscious standard in her head.. Oh my ex used to thrust me for 1 hour non stop. Oh he used to give me head for 50 minutes.. Oh he knew variety of styles..
And when you as a learner thrusts for 20 minutes and cum, she sees you like a weakling, Indomie man.. When you cannot measure up to her past ecstacic adventures, in most cases, you're made to feel incapable, and many ladies cheat because of this; married women.
See, in the right order of things, marriage isn't supposed to be between two sex experts. It's supposed to be between two sex amateurs who'll grow together, and not put pressure on themselves.
You cannot grow if you're compared with a past experience..
And why would she feel you ain't good enough? Because she has a sexual past! The memory never leaves! If she didn't engage in serial sexual adventure, she wouldn't know what it feels like having a big dick pass through her, and even preferring it.
With a Virgin, sex is with less pressure to perform. Just hold yourselves in your innocence and make love instinctively. As time goes, you both learn together.. Nobody is up there detecting how it's supposed to be. Both are learning. It's really beautiful..
And the little you can do as a man will be appreciated. See, a woman will not appreciate your 20 minutes of thrusting if she's experienced 1 hour of thrusting..
You'll always feel frustrated trying to please her because there's a standard, but true sex in marriage is not even about the act of sex but the person involved. It's not about thrusts, styles, and all that, it's about sharing a part of you with someone you love.
When you're truly having sex, the larger fulfilment comes from the fact that you're wrapped in the arms of the one you love, and not thrusts and all whatnot..
And even if he's not so good. Because there's love, there will be room for learning and patience..
But believe me, many pre-maritally sexually active people are usually impatient. They even write people off based on their first performance. Ask couples, their first sex was never their best sex.
Marriage is just about two people on a journey of learning together, nobody teaches; both are learners..
So it's gonna be disastrous having one feel like they are up there and know how exactly it must be, and you're judged with a past experience they had before marriage. That might be sadly abnormal..
The pressure will be much.
This is one reason why God wants sexual purity before marriage. Because you'll be easily satisfied in marriage if you lack any past sexual history.
written by Solomon Buchi Bartholomew Life Coach/Motivational Speaker See the wat they all avoided the thread like a plague! Truth can't be more aptly put than this; thing is, too many people are far gone in deadly fantasia to notice. You have my respect sir. I will remain a virgin, so as to quash the equality debate when I demand one. Cheers sir. |

[quote author=KardinalZik post=58286949]Why foot the guy's bills in the first place. Doesn't she know that a guy who can't clear his bills isn't ready/ripe for marriage? Oftentimes, ladies are the architects of their own misfortune.[/quo
I want to ask, so someone cannot be generous without expecting something in return? That's not love. I believe in a situation where both parties are selfless and handy in the capacities they find themselves able, in a relationship. The lady only has the right to feel bad when the guy PROMISES marriage in succinct and clear terms, and reneges. Sometimes these ladies simply build hopes on fantasies at times, and come out to cry foul when things don't go as they expect. Someone said she was used and dumped simply because they had had a lot of contact hours together and they were always hanging out, that she had invested her emotions in the union. What in Gods name is that? Talking about footing the guys bills, things should be done with nobility, and by choice. A friend should be able to help a friend out without strings attached |

The deceased’s heartbroken girlfriend, has however taken to social media to write him a tribute while also sharing photos of moments they shared while he was still alive.

Travel › Re: Lawyer & His Uber Driver Stuck In Lagos Flood (Photos) by poik(m): 10:56am On Jun 30, 2017 |
CastedDude: A Nigerian lawyer identified as Firsts Baba Isa, based in Abuja has narrated his "horrible" experience in Lagos after falling in love with the commercial city. The man and his Uber driver got stuck in a flood after deciding to take a short-cut to the airport. Read what he shared on his social media page yesterday.
Lagos does it to me again.
I remember sometime last year when I came to Lagos and had to literally swim through a flood to find my way to court. Since then I have been to Lagos several times and I thought those days are gone for good. I thought Lagos finally decided to be nice to the Ninja Lawyer.
On Tuesday I waited for 5 hours in the Abuja airport before getting to Lagos. A 6pm flight became 7:30pm and finally we took off by 9pm or thereabouts for Lagos. We landed way pass 10pm and by the time I got to Lekki where I will be lodging Wednesday was saying goodbye to Tuesday.
Well, this wasn't entirely Lagos fault, so I didn't allow it affect our relationship. I started questioning my decision to fall in love with Lagos when on my way to court on Wednesday morning I got caught up in a nasty traffic.
I knew it. This traffic will not allow my relationship with Lagos to flourish. I gnashed my teeth throughout the uber ride to court and by the time I got there court was already sitting. Hay God!
Luckily I wasn't late for my matter.
After court, I and Lagos made up. I hooked up with some friends and proteges. We sat out for lunch and a beautiful discussion. Yeah, Lasgidi, this is how to be romantic in a relationship.
Then Lagos...
This morning I booked an uber ride, heads to the airport to catch my 11am flight, then Lagos started happening to me.
My oversabi driver started looking for short cuts to beat traffic. Me, what and where do I know na? I sat down there giving tacit approval: go guy, go; by all means dodge the gaddem traffic!
We negotiated a bend and a massive body of water appeared before us in the middle of a dilapidated street. My driver drove to what he considered the side of the body of water and roared in.
Right in the middle of that big dirty body of water, the engine died without even giving us the respect of coughing the traditional last cough cars cough before they die.
Before you can say Juliet, the car was already flooding. The driver got out and swam to safety leaving me in the car. I was shouting for him to come open the door for me before that bastard realized that he has mistakenly locked me in.
I swam out too. Shoe, trousers and all. We got my laptop bag and suit case out before water could get to it but my other bag in the boot wasn't that lucky. It was dripping water when we brought it out. My court files, my diary, my books are in this bag.
I started to laugh because I wanted to cry.
We paid some guys to push the car out of the water and another uber came to pick me up to the airport. The race to catch my flight began in the wicked Lagos traffic. God even saved me from a terrible accident.
My driver nearly ran into a parked car, thinking it was a moving car. He missed it by the whiskers. Hay God. I begged him to take it easy. It was clear I will miss my flight anyways.
Then I prayed to God for the flight to be delayed. Just as I said "Amen", I got a text: the 11am flight has been shifted to 2pm. If you see the way I celebrated God in that car ehn, the driver just weak.
You may call this coincidence. You might have a scientific or whatever explanation for this occurrence, that one is your own. All I know is that I prayed for that flight to be shifted and it was shifted immediately. Praise God.
But, seriously, those of you who love Lagos, how do you survive in such an abusive relationship?
Source; https://www.nationalhelm.co/2017/06/i-fell-i-love-lagos-city-abuja-based-lawyer-photos.html I love the word pun. Nice. Its a real heartache in that mega city, though it has its ups though. I am comfy with my dame Abuja. |

It has gotten worse now that the country is in a bad shape.
I have had suicidal thoughts countless times and am afraid one day I would yield.
My life is miserable. Nobody knows am dying inside, people just think am proud or being a snob.
I need someone to at least tell me if this is a common problem or how to go about it before it gets out of hand totally. Sorry dear. Go spiritual. The amount of healing contained in a hearty, consistent supplication can never be over-emphasized. Get someone to talk to. Make friends... even if its online friends. Share your world.

Tearless: It's your religious inclination that has made your brain not to be as conducive for clear thought on this matter as it ought to be. I can see where the persistence is coming from. This is why it's always problematic having an argument with Abrahamists.
I do not know about any creator of man, but I know the Abrahamic God to be one hell of a capricious, megalomaniacal, misogynistic being. Try as much as possible not to let religious beliefs becloud your thought process. It was nice chatting with you. Have a wonderful day ahead. I can also see where the determined rationality is coming from, an avowed inclination of believing that everything begins and ends with the five senses. Its not your fault, really, but I am not as cheated as you are, maybe that's what makes us different. The one proponent of the captivity of ration I know, knows far better than this. Even within the borders of what they eyes can see and what the brain can transmit, you haven't been able to knock off my assertions concretely. But no wahala. Whether Abrahamic or Pauline, that misogynistic, capricious and megalomaniac God is the reason you have the fingers and energy for this. You should understand that ration and reason takes credit for less and less these days. |

Tearless: There's no correlation. Many people survive more than 20 years without men in their lives, while some even survive it for a life-time. You can't live without food for that long, can you? You can't tell me that all celibate people - nuns, Reverend Fathers, Bishops, The Pope, et all, are all unhappy and not doing well. Again, you made a VOID point..
The three reasons you gave are nothing but mere assumptions. They're baseless. And no where have I claimed that marriage is bad or not worth it. Did you forget the crux of our argument? It is that NO WOMAN can live a happy, fulfilled life without being married to a man. And, this myth being peddled by ignorant people is what I'm aggressively opposed to. It's bullsh!te. Yes, balls of pernicous faeces shooting out of the cosmic anus.
Neither you nor I know the number of good marriages out there. But it's still an incontrovertible fact that you cannever know how your marriage will turn out - whether good or bad, so it doesn't GUARANTEE happiness. If certain people decide that they do not want to get married and love their single life the way it is, who are you to tell them that they can never find true happiness in that way? Getting married is a matter of choice and it is not the most important thing in the world
Errr..... Sorry, I'm not a fan of conspiracy theories.
We're not discussing perfection here - afterall, NOTHING is perfect - we're discussing happiness and fulfillment. Again, you went off-topic. There are three reasons why I will pull the plug on this discourse at this point: 1. That someone as rational as you believes that Reverend Fathers and bishops who are NOT eunuchs for the kingdom of God are truly celibate. 2. That you don't seem to see a correlation between how important psychology is to man as food is. That you call it an assumption for a widely testified inference to be drawn from a time-tested instance. 3. That you call the Creator of man ignorant. Nice day. |

Tearless: You shouldn't judge people by your preconceptions as much as you shouldn't judge them by appearances. You're making bold claims with so much confidence and certainty as though you sit inside the very heart of these ladies. That is every shade of irrational. There's no way you can tell that all ladies need marriage to be happy. Like, seriously, how ridiculous can you get, really? I could turn around and make the opposite but equally ridiculous claim that ALL married ladies are unhappy - yeah, like I sit in their hearts and live in their bodies to be able to tell what they think and how they feel!
You talk about good marriages giving unparalled happiness. HOW MANY GOOD MARRIAGES ARE OUT THERE? The way you people worship marriage is something else. A story was once told of a child who suddenly developed insatiable appetite for anything rubber. He would nibble at his flip-flops, rubber band, handle of his watch, chew and swallow it with no side effect. When the worried parents consulted a doctor, the child was found to be deficient in sulphur. It is not just a bold statement to say that a human being needs food to stay alive; it is a matter of fact. Anyone who survives without eating, what would you think of that person? Will you just congratulate anyone who comes up to say he has lived twenty years without food? My brother, i said I have heard these ladies whine to my ears o. And I am convinced it is a natural response to a divine need. Anyone with contrary view of marriage is 1. not married and is either influenced or indoctrinated against it by the infinitesimal negativity surrounding it, 2. married and has had some bad experience in it. This is still not enough to convince me that marriage is altogether bad bro, or not worth it. You talked about how many good marriages there are. May i ask what your statistical basis is, or are, and if it is media, i am sorry to say you have joined the bandwagon of people who have played directly into the schemes of deliberate opinion shapers. My brother, if you know how easy it is to mould public opinion by means of mass media, you will be careful about what you believe in the news. Can you comfortably say that everything you hear that happens in Aso Rock is the truth? We both know the answer to that. There is a force directly and deliberately trying to change things and suit its programme by churning out sponsored material determined against natural course of things. These same thing gives rationality to homosexuality, gender equality, and many such vices contrary to ordained processes of life. Think about it. Why is there currently an upsurge in 'domestic violence', all of a sudden, everywhere you turn today? I have never said that marriage is perfect, and you cannot tell me you will resign from your workplace. because your colleague offended you, or you won't work anymore. You won't rusticate yourself from the university because your course mate fought with you. Think about it. |

Tearless: You said some of them. I don't see how this nullifies the claim that marriage isn't for everyone and that some ladies can live without it. There was no where in my post that I indicated that all ladies can do without marriage. The original poster's ridiculous, impudent, and ill-informed assertion that NO WOMAN can genuinely live happily without a man in her life is what I was debunking. I have no disagreement with you. Yes, some women need men in their lives, and will do the most desperate things to fulfill that craving, while, at times, hiding it from others and telling outright lies about how they truly feel. But the fact remains that not all women are like this. There are so many women out there that are free from such "emotional bondage" and have much bigger things to explore. My point remains valid. Marriage is not for everyone, and marriage does NOT guarantee happiness. Leave the ladies alone. Well... I feel marrying is only a response to a natural stimuli, as well as a divine mandate. Those instincts and emotional components didn't arise on their own; they were put there by God. Only a bad marriage does not guarantee happiness. In a good one, the happiness and fulfilment is unparalleled. If anyone feels 'bound' simply because he or she is married, there is a problem, and repudiating marriage altogether because of a number of bad experiences is not fair, in my opinion. Again, appearance is hardly reality. |

emusmithy: Some married women come here and be saying things to rubbish this thread but they're married! Some of them literally forced their way into his life but what are they advising the younger generation? To just chill and not worry about it, to keep being a slay queen and not prepare for a future hubby, something their moms are also saying.
Right now, I know women who are trying to connect their relatives (ladies) to me, for a marital relationship. I saw their pics, it's obvious that some of them have 'chopped' life.
Don't I have relatives above 28, single and I'm praying they position rightly for Mr. Right? I do.
You can DO NOTHING against the truth BUT for the truth.
#QED! No mind them bro. That's the thing with truth. I understand that circumstances may contribute, but for the most part, most ladies need to reorder their priorities and get hold of some wifely orientation. For the men, for the most part it's economy |

Tearless: Stop making it seem as though Marriage is a MUST, or that single ladies are unhappy, or that it's all single ladies that WANT to get married. Being single is NOT a problem, so you people need to stop suggesting "solutions" for that and focus on more important things, directing your energy towards more productive ends. I don't see Nuns/Reverend sisters complaining of depression, or divorced single ladies falling dead. You need to snap out of the delusion and false notion that ladies who claim not to need men to make them happy have holes in their hearts. Marriage itself does NOT guarantee happiness, and you need to stop pressuring the single ladies to get married as if being single is some sort of disease. Humans are teleological animals that inhabit a wondrous world of INFINITE potentialities into which they can tap from whichever angle. There's nothing cast in stone, no one way to achieve something. Marriage is not all there is to life. There are other ways of achieving happiness - a lot of them.
Einstein was so in love with Physics that he couldn't invest his sublime passions into any other true love. That was what gave him the kick. That was for him, the bluest meth. Physics was HIS TRUE LOVE that gave him fulfillment, not a person. It was the same for Nietzsche, and a host of other people you can think of.
You're therefore completely WRONG to have asserted, with such impudence, that ladies who claim they do not need men to be fulfilled are internally scarred. You overhype marriage and worship it like a God. Like that lady, IamKashyBaby rightfully said, MARRIAGE IS NOT FOR EVERYONE. My brother, I wish all you have said is the truth. I just wish. If you haven't heard ladies complain about their single status, some of us have. Countless times. Don't encourage their foolhardiness. God who fashioned marriage is wiser than all of us put together. He knew exactly what He was doing. Some of these ladies who say marriage isn't for everyone, be sure you are completely bereft of sexual biology and its desires. How are you going to tame your passions legitimately when they arise? Except of course you don't believe there is God, which is another degree of foolishness. There is the difference between the security a paid soldier and a husband can give. There is a difference between the fact that you are loved enough to be provided for, and the fact that you have something just because you can. Marriage, done well, is fulfilling and blessed. Even the boss ladies who hustle in their own right do it out of the motivation of the fact that they are trying without success to fill the void of a partner with material things and societal placing: the charade only lasts as long as the cameras and external eyes; coca cola can never take the place of water. She doesn't need to utter a word for it to be obvious. Some of us have heard them complain audibly and go to desperate lengths to belong to someone. Worst of all, this is pristine Africa. |
Literature › Have You Read Echoes Of The Dark? by poik(op): 12:28pm On Jun 17, 2017 |
For die-hard lovers of fiction and all its entrails, please take a peek at Ogbonna Henry's second effort entitled Echoes of The Dark:Ten Short Tragedies. It is a must-be component of every device's File Manager, for that device to be worth its salt.
Crafted in cutting edge descriptive power, gripping story plot and a good mix of humour to go with it, the work is Henry's attempt at mirroring the contemporary Nigerian society with all it's ills and prospects. Most unputdownable, engaging and revealing, right to the last full stop.

Phones › Re: Lenovo Phones Are Actually Good by poik(m): 11:51am On Jun 17, 2017 |
Okoh1: A warm hello to all nairalanders.
I went phone-shopping last week for a subsidiary phone that will combat Naija nepa's stingy habit. I needed a rugged phone that can meet my smart needs and at the same time, kill the frustration that comes with low and eventually dead batteries.
Of all the brands presented by this pretty damsel, i finally fell for this Lenovo A1000. With a mixed feeling, i paid for it and left.
Today makes it exactly one week since i bought the phone and the background reasons why i opted for this phone is being materialised.. A brand i have never used! Talk about intuition.
Is there anybody that is also using this model? Is it a faithful partner?
These are the features of the phone
1. Android OS, v5.0 Lollipop 2. Quad-core 1.3Ghz Processor 3. 1GB RAM+8GB ROM 4. EXPANDABLE to 32GB via a microSD 5. 5MP FIXED-FOCUS Rear Camera w/LED Flash 5. 4.0" Screen Display 6. 2050 mAh Battery 7. Dual Sim
I recommend this model to those whose intents to buy a phone rhymes with mine. 2050mAH? haba my nigga. Phones now dey go 6000mAH. Though it depends on your budget sha. But Lenovo is a nice brand |

Daniel2289: I don't in any way support the girls for this. I only speak for myself. Point of correction bro. You mentioned that "A woman MUST tell her husband all she did with her body before meeting him". I tell you bro, No WOMAN WILL EVER DO THAT. I say it again " Just because the Honeypot is not intact is not a reason y u should call the marriage quit. Not all are blocked at first time. Some even lost their Honeypot through Masturbation. This brings me back to this question. DID U MARRIED HER BECAUSE the HONEY POT IS INTACT, OR U MARRIED HER BECAUSE U LOVED HER Well, to your question. No woman will do that...that's only if the man doesn't get to know later or he forgives her...I am saying if he gets to know she deliberately hid things about herself...he is free to put her away, for deception. Did I marry for love or virginity... Love isn't always the only reason you marry... matter of fact its not enough reason, though its a component of the package. A lot of ladies hide under this love thing to swindle unsuspecting men and get away with it. See, if as a virgin man, especially, you marry a woman who is not, you are immediately under pressure which should not have been there ordinarily, because there is a basis for comparison in your sex life. From there the tendency to cheat if u fall short. we all know these things are there. Again there is a possibility the woman will dominate the man in the marriage, using sex as bargaining tool, because he will be under pressure to please her in everything. From there a whole lot of issues arise. God who designed these things the way He did knew exactly what He was doing. In Israel once you sleep with a woman she becomes your wife automatically. A woman who does not go to her husbands house pure is stoned to death the wedding morning, the father casting the first stone. We are Gentiles and by nature idol worshippers, that's why things like these are tolerated and philosophized |

Daniel2289: If God can forgive, who then is me that can not forgive. like one person post here that we all have a past, and which is through. So, I will still forgive her. But I will have to scold her very well, for lying to me. Line of license. I am sure the ladies will like this a lot. Just supposing the guy kept himself nko? It will be too disappointing and painful. To say forgive is easy when its not you. By the Scriptures, that man is allowed to put her away. God is the truth and what God has joined together nothing can put asunder. when its a lie nko? A woman MUST tell her husband all she did with her body before meeting him, if he can take her,fine, if not, it ends. else, if he finds out in the marriage, he is Scripturally free to free her. |
Celebrities › Re: What If I Impregnated Freda Francis - AY Slams Critics by poik(m): 2:09pm On Jun 13, 2017 |
TunezTV: Amidst the controversy about whether or not AY Makun is the mystery father of Freda Francis‘ baby, and the alarm his wife, Mabel raised while asking Freda to stay away from her husband, TNS had a quick chat with the A Trip to Jamaica producer and his response has not helped shutdown the current rumor spreading like wildfire.
When he was asked about being Freda's baby daddy, AY said;
"And so if I impregnated Freda, is it something new?"
When the reporter told him the issue was turning into a scandal, a nonchalant AY laughed and stated;
"Because most of these celebs cover up? That na why you think say people never hear dis kain thing before. So what if na me give am belle? Abeg abeg! Na today?"
When questioned about his wife's rant, the popular comedian noted that he owns his wife and people should focus more on his work than private life. In his own words;
"Leave my wife for me abeg. Na me get my thing. My wife put something for Instagram, all of una dey kolo. I don see my name for every blog wey dey dis country since morning. Even una wey be TNS sef don carry am. Everywhere I turn, na AY this, Freda that. Una no even shout on top my upcoming film like this."
http://thenet.ng/2017/06/head-impregnated-freda -francis-na-today-ay-makun-defiant-rumours/ How some people can cope with looking at a woman with a face like that one in the picture for a full hour without running away just beats me. |

Career › Re: TVC Explains Sack Of 145 Staff by poik(m): 10:16am On Jun 03, 2017 |
kolafolabi: Lagos – The Board of Continental Broadcasting Services Ltd (CBS), owners of Television Continental (TVC), and Radio Continental, on Friday laid off 145 staff. A statement issued by the management of the media outfit said the decision was part of its effort to restructure the enterprises. According to the statement, the restructuring is geared towards repositioning the business for better and greater delivery of its services to its audiences and advertisers. The organisation explained that in line with the changes, it would reconfigure its workforce, as part of the rationale to achieve its objectives. “A total of 145 people are affected by Friday’s announcement,’’ the statement said. “We wish to make clear that our core channels consisting of TVC News Nigeria, TVC Entertainment and Radio Continental, will now become the main focus of our business going forward, where we will deliver high quality news and entertainment programmes to our audiences and advertisers across Nigeria and beyond. “The winding down of TVC News Africa will allow us to concentrate on these key areas of our business,” it added. The statement explained that the CBS Board of Directors has also approved a substantial new investment in its staff across the group of companies which would enable it to substantially enhance its news and current affairs output on TVC News, entertainment programming on the market, TVC general entertainment channel and its key radio asset, Radio Continental. “For those staff members affected by today’s announcement, the Board of CBS Ltd has approved a generous severance package, in addition to a programme of assistance to enable them seek new employment,’’ the statement said. The media outfit is reportedly owned by Chief Bola Tinubu, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and former governor of Lagos State. Officials of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) and the Radio, Television and Theatre Workers Union of Nigeria (RATTAWU) could not be reached on telephone, as at the time of this report, as calls and text messages to their mobile lines were not answered.

ephi123: No one is raising the issue of so many people dying from undisclosed illnesses in recent times. What is happening to our healthcare systems that we can't successfully treat these cases? What is happening to our food value chain, what are we really consuming? you are making a lot of sense dearie. do people die like this in the west? check am, e non go pass liver issue or kidney. I know one must die someday of something, but it doesn't have to be this random and rampant. Again, our lifestyles...but what do I know? |
