chriskwaku: Unfortunatly it was neither video nor voice.It was transcribed

Ok.

fresh_dude: I see what you did there. But seriously, I'm semi-done with interview reports, same thing was done to Mikel last week. I guess it's videos for assurance and credibility now, huh?!

Yes o. Videos. At least you're sure it was the person that said it. A good number of these up and coming bloggers just pull gist from their a*ses. It's either they say something that wasn't said at all or they paraphrase nonsense.

And most of the time, when the artists come out to defend themselves, the lies are already the truth; people have believed what they want to believe. And how many bloggers and rumor mongers can the artists sue ? So they just let it simmer and die down (if it ever does).

Not saying some gist aren't true, but we gotta be careful of the information we digest.

I'm out.

chriskwaku: Nana from her interview last 2 weeks,she they had a thing going on.She said so much

Was it a video/voice interview or someone paraphrased what they thought she said? Lol

freecocoa: Abegi, there's no difference with what the OP posted and this one.

Forget the proper arrangement here and look at the lyrics again, he's practically telling us she asked for it and bla bla bla.

The dude is still an a$$hole.

There's no difference because you already have a preconceived notion. For your info., arrangement does matter in lyrics; even a comma can make a difference.

If the OP wasn't shady, why didn't he/she post the full lyrics ? Laziness ? or just wanting to be a devil's advocate ?

"He's an a$$hole", fair enough.

otumfour: WTF is this 1 saying?

they were never an item, Yvonne and the dude never dated, only God knows how many innocent people are put in prison daily.
amazed @ how confident u stating all tht crap as if they came to u for a blessing

Lol@innocent people in prison.

I blame iyanya for mentioning tonto dike, tiwa savage and Yvonne Nelson in his song. There was even a time a rumor was going around about him sleeping with tiwa savage and tonto dike. Lol.

He should have known better; people blow things like this out of proportion.

fresh_dude: Makes sense. I just read the transcript in the OP. Thanks.

You're very welcome.

Lol. Nawa. I guess Yvonne Nelson just gained more pity fans. Iyanya should better release another single to pacify those who care to listen coz Nigerians ain't smiling o.
Media ?! I thought people would know better by now.

Did anyone even listen to the song atall....

He sang
" Yvonne Nelson, I lost your medicine."
"Yvonne Nelson, I have your medicine."
"..... Roll your waist like a jangolova"
"She called me to say she's coming over "
"Can I ride her like a jangolova "
"Bla bla bla .. "
"She asked iyanya can you be my lover"
"I said hell yh"
"You can come to my crib and we can shut it down there"
"But don't forget, all I want is your waist"
"No emotions, no tears, no letter"
"All I want is your waist"

The author/blogger of the initial post that everyone is reacting to, strategically omitted some parts of the lyrics to make it look like he was directing talking to Yvonne Nelson.

He was free-styling. Lyrics were coming to his head. It doesn't mean he's talking about Yvonne Nelson when he said "no tears, no letters". It's a song about girls, he could be talkng about any/every girl.

These people just want to stir up controversy. When we read things In the media about celebrities, we have to be careful that the bloggers and co are not feeding us lies. Like they say, "bad news travel faster";hence more traffic for them.

And by the way, the topic says "iyanya replies". Replies to what ?
The media is making up an imaginary convo between two people that we don't even know if they're best of friends In the real world. Smh.

coogar: encourage the process of fertilization, put a ring on it the moment she misses her period. get married before the baby bump is obvious.

happy married life!

Got it. And if she can't get pregnant due to one reason or the other ?

babyosisi: And if she delivers baby with two heads or triplets the hubby picks race
This thing dey complicated o

Lol

Efemena_xy: Your first line / sentence simply reiterates what I've already stated clearly.

As per the second statement, go through my posts on this thread. My stance on what you ask is very, very, clear. I'm not going to repeat myself here.

Ok. You can drop your pen now. I see you've had a long day.

My questions are still open for anyone willing to answer

Efemena_xy: That's the thing. You (i.e: the spouse) won't know unless she opens up and tells him.

OR

Unless he decides to test drive and refuses to put a ring on that finger unless she proves otherwise that she is fertile and can get pregnant.

The only way you can truely know if a woman is fertile is pregnancy. That's the true test driving for females.

So, since it's ok to test drive males. . is it also a fair game to get ladies pregnant before marriage?

Or maybe I'm just not getting what test driving is: is it solely for sexual compatibility or fertility?

coogar: haha-
jenny confess to me. you know i can keep your secrets.



what sins?
that's if she even sees it as that. like i have highlighted, fornication does not start and stop with sex. crushing on someone is lust and it's fornication. how many women who crush see it as committing a sin?



there are gold circle condoms!



the world has moved way beyond trusting people's word of mouth. proper checks have to be done. 30 years ago, you are what the passport you are carrying says you are. these days you have to do biometrics, fingerprints, etc......i am very practical - marriage is a lifetime process. i refuse to remain stuck with a damaged good because i failed to do my due diligence.



what's istikhara?

Question to you and all; how do you know if a woman is a damaged good I.e capable of carrying your child, before marriage?

Guys, this is abpatrick's time to shine. He's the winner. Statements like "mr. A is the winner to me" is disrespectful to THE winner and the whole process. OUR mr NL is abpatrick.

I'm out.

Well deserved!' Congrats to abpatrick

Nelly's answers puts a smile on my face..he's quite unserious.
Great job from Abpatrick with laylow closely following up, then Xavier
Ekwah's answers are quite errrr mediocre. I guess big school doesn't equal knowledge and wisdom (like one of them said).

With all that being said, I vote for ABPATRICK!!!! he has it all , with or without the q/a.

My votes are

Abpatrick should win
Laylow
Nellyghenghen though looks too young but still cute
Xavier
and
Ekwah has some fine and some errr pictures, quite tricky. I suggest he takes off some of the pictures.

In other parts of the world, women have been eating and honouring their placentas for centuries. Many cultures view this uniquely impermanent organ as having sacred or magical properties. And when you consider its life giving functions, it is easy to see why.

In recent years, the practice of placentophagy, or ingestion of the placenta, has gained a following in the US and Canada. And now, a small but growing number of women in the UK are also embracing the power of the placenta.

Nigerian mothers, what do you think?

I’m happily married with two young kids ages 2 and 4. We stay in a 2-bedroom apartment and usually leave the connecting door ajar so that if the kids wake up during the night they may have access to our room to seek comfort, which is very frequent especially during these noisy thunder storms.

My problem started with the arrival of my mother-in-law, less than a week ago to spend 2 months. Of course, she sleeps with her grand kids in their room. This doesn’t stop them from frequenting our room during the night, so the door is still left ajar. Much to my amazement, my wife has now told me that she will no longer allow us to copulate during the time her mother is with us. She said her mum scolded her and feels we are rude to engage in lovemaking knowing fully well that she is in the adjoining room.

My wife has always feared her mum so it is impossible for me to convince her that this is her house, not her mum’s. I don’t see myself going one week without sex, talk less of 2 months! Is it my fault that the bed creaks or that my wife has to make noise at her height of ecstasy?
I feel that my mother-in-law is being very intrusive and insensitive and I’m prepared to talk to her and ask her to leave if she insists on tormenting my wife, but I know that my wife won’t find it funny at all. What should I do?

I am so glad there are many people interested in Vikings. This is the pound for pound comparison of a blogger and I kind of agreed with him.

Game of Thrones is currently the biggest Juggernaut on air. It’s got massive backing, a rabid fanbase, and it’s the most illegally downloaded show out there. This is all while being on HBO, which you have to pay to watch.

Meanwhile, Vikings is on the History Channel and sorta slides in after The Bible because the History Channel doesn't want to come down solidly on one side of religion or the other.

Why am I comparing them? Well, partially because presenting at the East Central Indiana Social Media Group took a lot of time out of reading time this week, partially because a lot of people are going to anyway. It’s like Buffy and Charmed, you can’t NOT compare them, even if you don’t want to.

Both shows are historical dramas in the dung ages and focus on kings, battles, religion, and morally grey characters. They’re visually similar, both having a Grey Filter for a lot of shots. They both have actors you've probably seen somewhere else.

So, which is better? Let’s find out. I’ll split this into four categories: Characters, Story, Addiction, and The Prestige.

Character:
If we go in terms of quantity, Game of Thrones has more. Dear gods, Game of Thrones has more. Tyrion, Arya, John Snow, Robb, Lady Stark, Daenerys Targaryen, Stannis Baratheon, Theon Greyjoy, Sam, and that’s just the main characters. I probably forgot some. Each has their own individual plotlines.

Tyrion
★★★★★
Arya
★★★★★
John Snow
★★
Robb Stark
★★
Lady Stark
★★
Daenerys
★★★★
Stannis
★
Theon
★
Sam
★★★★
Average:
★★★

Meanwhile, Vikings is more focused on Ragnar, the guile-hero, who’s clearly the main character, but his Nakama definitely gets their own screen time. Athelstan, Lagertha, Rollo, Floki, Ragnar’s kids, even some of the villains get their own arcs. The characters aren’t all as likeable, and only one is female, but since there’s LESS of them we get to know them much better. It’s hard to judge characters, so I’ll give them stars out of five for how interested I am in their arc.

Ragnar
★★★★
Lagertha
★★★★★
Rollo
★★★★
Floki
★★★★
Athelstan
★★★★★
Earl Haraldson
★★★
Average:
★★★★

While I care a lot about Tyrion, Arya and Daenerys, because funny, cool and dragons, respectively, the Starks don’t interest me much and I’m ready for Theon and Stannis to just go away. Sam is only interesting because I’ve heard he does cool things in like, three books from now.

Meanwhile, I’m really interested in all of the focus characters from Vikings, because they all raise interesting questions. I’m most excited about Athelstan, because he’s questioning his religion and it’s fascinating to watch it play out. Point to Vikings.

Plot
Second verse, same as the first. Game of Thrones has approximately ALL of the plots. John Snow is up north getting involved with the wildlings who are marshaling for war with the White Walkers who are chasing Sam to the Wall which is north of the ruins of Winterfell where the Starks lived until they started waging war to rescue their sisters who are captives of oh gods no. If you really want to know, watch the show or watch this video.

Meanwhile, Vikings has a few plots, most of them subtle things (Rollo trying to become Earl, Athelstan’s conversion) but most things center around Ragnar’s progression from nobody to hero to outcast to Earl to…who knows what, and his conflict with Earl Haraldson.

That said, Vikings has a fairly simple plot, whereas Game of Thrones has…all of the plots (no really, all of them) and still manages to tell good stories. It takes a long time, but they CAN make the plots work, even if it’ll be about four years before they actually resolve most of them. That said, each season some of the plots do get resolved satisfyingly. And I’ll admit, I’m more interested in seeing what happens to all the characters in Game of Thrones because, well, Dragons vs. Sorcerers vs. Zombies vs. Armies vs. Shapeshifters vs. Tyrion Lannister So, in the end, Point to Game of Thrones.

This comes down to which do I want to watch more as the weeks go on. As it stands, I want to watch Vikings more, every time. You’d think Game of Thrones, because of all the cliffhangers, but no. That’s the trouble with having nine (or more, hell, I totally forgot Sansa and Jeoffry) characters to keep track of, half of them will be in peril at the end of the episode INEVITABLY. (Oh and also Bran, he’s got a separate plotline too. Christ!) Because I know there’s going to be a cliffhanger and probably no satisfying ending, and because I’ll often forget which of four cliffhangers happened first.

Meanwhile with Vikings, each episode ends with either a single cliffhanger or with conflicts mounting, but having a stasis, however uneasy, at the end of each episode. Also, the character development is slow and interesting, and I want to see how things will change and if there’ll be a big payoff. I’ve mentioned Athelstan the Monk. Ragnar’s slave, friend, and almost lover, he has a fascinating and slow building arc towards possibly converting from Christianity to Paganism. It’s fascinating and treated with subtlety, and they show a lot of reasons why he would apart from just loneliness and separation from others of his own faith. Right now, that’s what I most want to see played out over the week. So, point to Vikings.

The Prestige

The Prestige is which show delivers the goods. Essentially it’s judging which exotic dancer manages to flash its gussets better. While on the Point to Game of Thrones.

Sorry, Vikings. I love you, but you don’t have Dragons or Zomibes. And while I’m delighted by your frequent use of the mythology I hold most dear, there’s still only so much you’re going to do on a lesser budget with only so many characters. That said, Vikings is quite enjoyable to watch, both in terms of visuals and story. I’m always glad to see what Floki is up to, and I need more Lagertha like I need my shower in the morning.

But in the end, Game of Thrones is more magnificent and will probably last longer. It’s also more memetic. You see “House Lannister” shirts all over the place, or shirts with a squid that read “We do not Sow” and I’ve heard my neighbors shouting “THE KING IN THE NORTH!” at all hours of the night. So, this Point goes to Game of Thrones.

As you’ve noticed, now the points are even. In the end, they’re both great shows. Vikings is personal and fun, whereas Game of Thrones is big and Epic and Flashy. Both deliver different things and have different reasons to exist. I’d say watch both of them, you’ve got nothing to lose. But if you have to choose which to watch as it airs, watch Vikings, because it needs viewers. Even if it does have a second season.

She's so naturally beautiful.

From the annals of History Channel comes the blockbuster TV series - Vikings. This is an epic story that journeys through medieval Ireland and Northern Europe introducing the extraordinarily complex and violent world of the Norsemen.

https://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2013/02/24/arts/24VIKINGS1_SPAN/24VIKINGS1-articleLarge.jpg

Tracing the gripping saga of historical hero Ragnar Lothbrok, viewers discover this fearless warrior's lifetime of raids, trades and explorations.

https://cdn.geeknation.com/Blogs/02_2013/vikings_first_look_3.jpg

As claimed direct descendant of Odin, god of war and warriors, Lothbrok embodies a mystical nature and devotion to the gods feeding his stealthy mobile maneuvers and audacious determination to become the King of the Vikings.

The pictures look too different. The story is not believable.

I'd like to go somewhere warm

Advocator:
This is  "if you had this & that which one will you choose'' kinda ashtray. No one is asking you how you operate.

Never mind then. I'll just sit back and watch other people reply

Advocator:
It's a simple question I read in an article today. So that's why I'm asking you guys.  


It matters becuz maybe just maybe some people prefer looks, others money. Its a psychological fundamental that you shouldn't question. What is your answer before we proceed?

I don't have one because I don't operate like that

Advocator:
None. The options are only the ones that I wrote.
Are you talking to me?

Yeah !

Why should it matter if one is rich/poor or handsome/ugly?

No height limit for me. I just hope the guy is taller than me

What looks and money have to do with this?

The boss is a jerk. lol. There's nothing wrong in going to the bahamas to "mourn".    They couple shouldn't have uploaded the pictures the way they did too. Oh well.

pleep:
