@ Princek12: Really is that how you see naija babes?

sup fifi? So far, that's is how I see[b] Naija babes in America[/b]. They have yet to prove me wrong.

Outstrip:
I don't see why you call it shame. They are planning to market to different people and it is a fact that [b]a name like let's say atutuboyoyo w[/b]ill not sell high fashion. If it happens to then fine but if a person takes a large amount of money and lets not forget time and body, soul, and spirit into a project then it only makes sense to use it to draw people in. Let's not be simplistic with this.

LMFAO. Where did you think of the that name --Atutuboboyo--you are crazy!

mama-gee:
Are you by any means rihanna?

Mama gee, the poster should now listen to Jay-Z. When a good girl goes bad, she's gone forever. My guy, ebe like say your girl don go be that oooooooooo. If I dey lie make water carry me go ooo -- Timaya

echo- bee:
i guess you have sisters,u can ask them.green light ko,black light ni

some naija girlz and yanga/attitude

Beejai,

Keep your head up. You started this thread out of love for Naija women. Your desire to be with someone who shares the same culture with you, and who is also fine, in that who you are attracted to. Both characteristics are inescapably tied to a successful relationship.

You are not the chick in your profile pic

Amaka, Uche Jumbo is ight -- she ain't ugly, but she ain't fine, either.

@THE.AMAKA

I guess my search continues. BUt that does not mean  I do not keep in touch with 9ja. Almost all of those MBGN contestants worwor sef. So kini big deal?

@ stillwater

I am sorry for you. I have not claimed to be an intellectual and there is no reason to believe those 9ja babes in ivy-league schools will be justified in not seeing me as an intellectual either. What I have said is finding a 9ja babe with beauty and brains-so far, for me-has been like finding pearl among swine. In fact, just beauty alone sef, I don tire. Not to talk of brains-e go be like sey make person find oloshi politician for 9ja wey never chop nasonal akara.

Don't give up.

beejaei:
THE.AMAKA, if that is you, then I may have found what I am looking for. It seems I will go and open one of those "NL, please I am in love with THE.AMAKA" threads. OMG! Ori Iya mi oooo. Person like you dey alive and I never see am? And you seem intellectual from your posts. WHat else am I looking for?

Bros, Joseph Yobo don snatch d kele wey dey that picture oooo

beejaei:
Princek12, you sound like a nigerian guy that is still in touch with his roots. The pidgin just the flow naturally. I hope I am not mistake sha.

Of course na. Naija for life. I dey in touch with my roots well well.

THE.AMAKA:
you gonna swallow your words? or na "joke/lol"

_{**puzzy on your side burn, wtf??**}

I won't swallow my words, but I will swallow my statistics. I admit, they were random.

Amaka my sister, abeg no take me too serious ooooo.

SEFAGO:
You must be kidding. Fine Nigerian Girls at Georgetown?

Abeg, leave story. The same Naija girls who attend parties--weddings, birthdays, etc, and church--are the same ones you will find on Georgetown campus. They are overwhelmingly wowo. The guys is speaking as though a special group of Naija girls are shuttled with an alien spaceship from space to Georgetown campus.

beejaei:
@SEFAGO and Princek12

Thanks for the insight and directions. I thought I was the only one that noticed this trend in 9ja babes. E be like I go gats go back to OAU when na time for marriage. Even for there, e no go easy. This is what several years of neglect of the educational system can cause.

@Princek12

I enjoyed your use of statistics and your bluntness. When I am really ready for a girl, I go IM you so I fit get into that inner ring of intellectual and beautiful 9ja babes in Maryland.

Holla at your boy. Although the stats were random, it was meant to highlight the shortage of good-looking Naija chicks in Yankee.

beejaei:
I just land year about a year ago. And I am not one to diss people or insult them, as I am sensitive to such stuff. But the 9ja babes I have come across since I came here, the majority of them worwor. And worse still, them raz. Me, I no be ajebo or Behind guy, but I have fantasies of meeting an intellectually unparalleled and aesthetically mind-blowing lady. I no get plan to get a girl for some time, but if things continue the way they are, then when I finally decide, I will go for akata, since they are beautiful and well-endowed, even if they also have cotton-wool for brains. So does the average Nigerian girl have beauty and brains? Or na soso worwor and olodo dem be?

I am sorry, you may have to go for Akata. You have to fast for 400 hundreds days and 400 nights to find a gorgeous Naija chick who is drop dead gorgeous from head to toe, just like how drop dead gorgeous Akata girls are. There are Naija girls who are drop dead gorgeous, but the ratio is  about 1/3000, which means that you are unlikely to find one. Then on top of that you want a drop dead gorgeous Naija chick who is an intellectual, then the ratio falls to 1/5000. The odds are against you. It seems they only give ugly Naija girls visa to come to Yankee.

And the ugly Naija females you will find are usually intimidated by good-looking Naija men, so they end having babies with ugly Naija men or old ugly men who spend money and take care of them, even if those men are married. End result, ugly kids. I will suggest you expand your horizon or find someone in the Naija community who will bring you inside the Maryland Naija girls clique, because a lot of Naija girls will not talk to you unless "Funmi" introduces you to them. They lack interpersonal skills such as going out and meeting at random a stranger, even if that stranger is a Naija guy like you who is new to the community. Naija girls are extremely cliquish, so you have to find a friend who is inside the Maryland Naija clique to introduce you to the few pretty Naija girls, but the pretty ones are usually taken, because of the law of demand and supply. A lot of Naija guys pounce on the few Naija pretty girls at the slightest glance.

Also, if you are into Ibo girls, you stand a better chance of meeting a pretty Naija chick, since Ibo girls are generally finer. If you are looking for a drop dead gorgeous Yoruba chick, I am really sorry for you my brother. I love my Naija sisters, but I am too much of a realist not to speak the truth.

I was talking to a friend, a fashion designer, who is trying to involve herself with the Nigerian fashion industry, and I was concerned about what she said. She was still undecided about what name to use. When I suggested that she use her given name to market her brand, which is typical of many designers that we all know about--for example, Giorgio Armani, Vera Wang, Gianni Versaci, and the likes, she resisted, saying that her brand will not be marketable if she uses her given name to market her designs. Alarmed by what she said, I decided to do my own research.

After inquiring into the names of several of the preeminent Nigerian fashion designers, I discovered that a lot of them, if not all, do not use their given names to market their brand. For example, Folake Folarin Coker's line is called Tiffany Amber; Edith Okon's line is called House of Maufechi; Olabimpe Onipede's line is called Queen; Kelechi Ugoji's line is called Glee House; Bimpe Adebambo's line is called Beampeh; and Chibuzo Emeanu's line is called Amanjide.

The brand names under which our Nigerian designers market their designs are obviously Eurocentric in character. My people of Nairaland, do you think Nigerian designers are ashamed of using their names to market their products, or they are using Eurocentric names because marketing under their given names, which is customary in the fashion world, would not appeal to consumers? What do you guys think?

Ladies are confusing creatures. You may never know why she said she has a boyfriend. She may have said because of the following reasons: (1) she actually has a boyfriend; (2) she does not have a boyfriend but is presenting herself as someone who is sought after by a guy; (3) she is using it as a barrier to prevent you from getting close to her -- she doesn't like you; (4) she actually likes you a lot and thinks saying she has a boyfriend will make you jealous, which will make you pursue her more aggressively; (4) I have even gotten word that ladies use it as a ruse to make prospective men offer them money to buy them out of their existing relationships; and many more. Bottom line, you will have a headache if you are trying to figure out her reasons for saying she has a boyfriend while still somewhat emotionally connecting with you.

Keep it real with her, tell her your intentions, and clarify this boyfriend issue -- communication is key. You may even ask her you will move on if she really has a boyfriend, portraying that you don't want to invest your emotion and time into a lady who is involved, or that you don't want to destroy an existing relationship.

If he doesn't love the place, let him go back to his choked concrete jungle. This is Lagos, pure natural and[b] smog free [/b]beautiful city.

If you say Lagos is smog free, then we are not talking about the same Lagos. People should not be infuriated by an oyinbo man who is clearly speaking the truth. The only part of the video during which I see is a problem is the satirical manner in which he referred to cutting the grass in the airport by hand. Otherwise, he was speaking the stone-cold truth: Lagos barely has any green space; the atmosphere is saturated with smog, smoke, and dust; there are squalid houses with "pan" roof tops built on lagoons, interspersed in human waste and trash. Only the elite reside in decent houses and travel around in comfortable cars.

BlueDiva:
I don't find someone carrying my bag sexy.
What i find sexy is when my hubby carries our baby in the mall while i'm empty handed.

regarding the carrying the baby part even when the kele hand dey empty, I agree. But for man to carry handbag when the kele hand dey empty, that one get K-leg small.

Anything is possible, my brother, especially if you employ the self-help technique, which is equally a sin. That is to say, you can choose the better sin by having sex, or you can choose the crazy sin, which is to jack that thang off. You better wake your sorry arse up and face reality rather than day dreaming.

Lol, the poster must be a Yoruba girl. You feel bad for kissing on the first date. Some people sef

johnnygan:
@topic, der ris no need to squabble o'er dis topic but i got a personal question for Ya. . . Have you got a complexity problem?

When you answer questions using strawman reasoning, you appear as though you cannot respond to the substance of the topic. The thread has a simple question, which requires a simple answer. You, alongside other feminists on this thread, will run away from responding to a topic of which you have no substantive response. The thread is obviously a response to the feminist thread, and you will think you and other feminists on the other thread would engage in intellectual discourse rather than attacking the character of the poster or using strawman reasoning, both of which are indicias of people who have nothing to say but chicken out of a discourse.

You know all this NL feminist ladies will accept that only men should have compulsory roles, but they would never accept that women should have compulsory roles.

My problem with mutha f'ing list is that he announced the players who will represent Nigeria before the invited players demonstrated their current fitness in camp. What kind of silly coach is that? He is a fool. He chose to go with established names, people who he is familiar with, rather than their current form. He did not provide the opportunity for players to fight for a shirt. His list of players represents the same out of shape idiots who barely beat African teams during the World Cup qualification games.

Here are my reasons why Amodu is a fool:

(1) He announced his team before camp, an indication that he selected his players because they had established names rather than their current form. What sensible coach does this?
(2) Danny Shittu, Sani Kaita, and Yusuf Mohammed have not made a first-team appearance for their clubs, a clear indicia that they are not in fully fit. Why exclude a young, energetic players like Dele Adeleye and Olubayo Obafemi, both of whom have been regular starters at their respective clubs.
(3) Obafemi Martins, Joseph Yobo, Danny Shittu, and Yusuf Muhammed are all returning from long term injuries. Why include players who just returned from injuries in your squad? (Mind you, Danny Shittu was already not in form, and he is now recovering from injury) -- Double wahala.
(4)Three of the defenders are just recovering from injuries, so how do you expect them to chase down the opposing strikers for 90 mins when they are just recovering from injuries?
(5)Stephen Okoro should have been included in this squad. He is fit, in shape, and very paceful, all of which are good attributes of an attacking midfielder.

With this kind of list, you can only expect to fail or get lucky. This is another disappointing tournament in the making, and don't be shocked if the Eagles do not advance past the first round.

@ PrinceK12,I actually went back to my post to look for the part where I said washing your husbands clothes makes you a slave and can't find it so please help me out here.

My sister, it is simply inferential. The thread is about washing your husband's clothes, and you voiced your opposition against the belief that wives should wash their husband's clothes by referencing the bible. You stated: "the bible said a woman will be a man's helper aka partner not slave aka housemaid." By inference, it means you are saying that a woman who washes her husband's clothes is not acting in the capacity as a partner or helper, but that she is acting as a slave or housemaid.

janedoe:
In the past women stayed @ home and took care of cooking,cleaning,raising the kids while men went to work and provided for the family yada yada,you know the drill,
, Now women work too and are expected to cook,clean,raise the kids,suck up to evil mother-in-laws,rival the prowess of a hooker @ night or day(the list goes on) and they're called the weaker sex?Please give me a break,some people have been referencing the bible but the bible said a woman will be a man's helper aka partner not slave aka house maid.If women now help out with providing for the family why can't men help out with help out with the chores @ home like washing HIS (not hers o)clothes?

When did washing your husband's clothes make you a slave? How about she is fulfilling her role as a helper by helping him wash his clothes. If the family lacks the money to pay for monthly expenses, is not the man who will be held responsible? So why don't you help him out by washing his clothes, while he makes sure that he can provide for the family?

ginky:
Prince,stop generalising abeg. If it pains you so much,marry a white nah. When she sends you out of the house because you came back 10 minutes late,don't come here complaining. Remember that people are different.

I agree that generalization is wrong, and I do not like to generalize. But the female consensus on this thread appear to militate in favor of the view that wives should not wash their husbands clothes. My statement was based on the comments of, presumably, Naija chicks on this thread, not Naija women in general. Most of the married Naija women I know do their husbands' laundry. In the end, I think chicks here are just commenting for the sake of arguendo, and it is in my conscience that females on this thread recognize the practicalities of roles in a marriage.

It is a big shame on Naija women. Even Akata and oyinbo girls in Yankee do their husbands' laundry. You Naija girls, in an attempt to act like 21st century girls in the west, will listen to some single, bitter feminists in the west or read some magazines and think that view represents the majority view of women in the west. Wake up!

This NL shows how lazy contemporary women have become. Some women have even stated that since we are in the 21st century and not in the 6th century, women should not wash their husbands' clothes. They want to act like so called westernized women, but women from the west still do their husbands' laundry, so what is the problem with these NL women?

I want all these women to tell me how many times they grew up watching their fathers wash clothes in the backyard? These women will go to church but refuse to practice the principles underlying the notion of a wife submitting to her husband. While the submission referred to in the Bible does not equate to slavery, it provides that the man has greater authority in the marriage, and that the woman support her husband, who has the higher authority.

That being said, following the principles underlying the notion of submission in the Bible, the party who has the supporting role, the woman as in here, should do the laundry, since laundry is a chore associated with the lesser authority and should be in the province of the wife's role.

sugabelly:
No, I just hate foolish men that think they are entitled to living a life of luxury at the expense of women.

When did your wives washing of clothes become a life of luxury at her expense. Do you realize that the woman may be the one who is living a life of luxury at the expense of the man.

When two people come together, what is wrong if one party lives a life of luxury at the expense of the other party? Isn't that essence of marriage? So do you have a problem with a wife who lives a life of luxury at the expense of her husband?
