by the time the 2.3bn reached the athletes it probably became 230naira

All the misinformation being thrown about i'm beginning to doubt anyone on this site lives in the UK and whether those that do passed peckham and whether the rest of the stories are being copied from fanciful novels. There is nothing i'm not going read on this site. I'd just advise everyone to take what they read here as complete fiction.

iragbijile: Ode oshi. Ode! Ode! Ode as a stone that the other odes make fun of. So ode [/b]that you have traveled
far beyond [b]ode as we know it and into a new dimension of ode. Meta-ode. Ode cubed. Trans-ode ode. Odes collapsed to
a singularity where even the Odensins have collapsed into Odebolos. Ode so dense that no intelligence can escape. Singularity Ode.
Blazing hot summer day on Mercury[b] Ode[/b]. You emit more Ode in one minute than our entire galaxy emits in a year. Quasar Ode. It cannot
be possible that anything in our universe can really be this Ode. This is a primordial fragment from the original big Ode b-a-n-g. A pure
extract of Ode with absolute Ode purity. Ode beyond the laws of nature. I must apologize. I can't go on. This is my epiphany of
Ode.

omg see different versions of ode chineke!

o i am soo using this from now on- odepiphany! lmao

its true- Nigerians are doing incredibly well, professionally and in Business. It seems those that arrived post 1980s are doing even better than their predecessors.
Unfortunately at, the economy isn't doing very well so the UK might not be the best place to be- no job is secure and most graduates are underemployed.
It's sure to boom again soon enough, meanwhile we all need to learn to DJ and make cakes (rude inno!)

i knew it!! i knew it!!! kandikane is a hobo! i had my suspicions! LOL

I have to come back and answer this, but i'll take note of what i do tonight to respond.

i also want to wear fake lashes today (which look awesome on me! seriously i look like a barbie doll when i wear them i mean every dude is . . . . ) enough of that!
so that will take me a good half an hour im rubbish at wearing them. i also want to grow my nails so im trying stick on today (the professional ones are damaging). i know broadway is a good brand. i wanted bright pink polish for my nails but i've lost it (new look brand) was like a pound. i dont spend much on cosmetics. you will never catch me buying mac or what have you, 30 pounds foundation? im not that ugly. maybe when im 52. . . and need the excessive coverage :p. meanwhile i use milani creme to powder and any odd translucent powder. i use any odd poundshop bronzer/blush (hopefully they wont give me craw craw) and maybelline mascara

my hair is still fresh from naija awesome so no need to fight with a straightener tonight. hopefully the 2 + 1 hour fashionably late (the mr will not be happy!) time should be sufficient.

stillwater: Damn queensmith, so your independence no reach that side? Abajo. . . Awon blackberry babes. I won't be taking you Nigerian girls seriously any more, lol.
God forbid I will be biting myself because some boyfriend or husband did not drop chop money, money for pads, underwear, hair, pedicure, manicure lol. If he wants to do it, who am I to decline? Lol.
So how do u girls show your own love? You give him money to cut his hair?
I mean there are other major things he should be throwing his weight on and not this pettiness.

LOl- stillwater you know me. I just couldnt believe the nerve of some of the women here. Women that don't pay rent, don't pay bills, don't do anything but cook and clean. Independent on one thread and dependent on the next. It's annoying, when I try to make the same point on another thread these women will use their state of 'housewifery' to claim all sorts of nonsense. mshew.

meanwhile- there are barely many Nigerian women out there that can be truly independent. They depend on men (mostly their partners) for absolutely everything, if a woman boasts of a business it's probably because her man footed it, boasts of a car a man probably bought it, in fact those with education can only do so because one husband or the next has paid for it. So its good if you are married and bad if you are planning to marry the person? does that make any sense? How is your husband to know what you expect when all throughout the courting you were forming because of the nonsense you read written by housewives on nairaland? Why cant we all be honest for a change.

physics- they're like the most employable people, you can't go wrong with it. Stats and physics- not on the same level at all, they don't carry the same weight.

thats the whole point of swingin, he wouldnt need to mess about behind your back. its not for the faint hearted sha.

2goodbobo: I just hope and they won't set Usain Bolt up someday cos I smile envy.

hopefully the guy is smart- theres still controversy over what exactly happened with Ben Johnson, someone may try to sabotage him by slipping him something. athletes in general need to be aware of this.

as a record holder bolt will have been tested several times, carl was wrong to say they don't test in Jamaica. So long as it aint british or american it seems like its always a problem.

i like how people change their tunes depending on the posts, how many of you women here pay rent? or even half of it? do not come and pretend as if a man is not footing 90% of the bills in your homes. and do not come and excuse the patheticness by saying you are married.

damn this site is full of god damned hypocrites!

awon mrs independents, mrs independent housewives. . .I am amused.

[quote author=Sisi_Kill]Lmao @ Tgirl

@ OP
Google Maddonna and Guy Richie and read all about their divorce wahala! She didn't make him sign a prenup, after the divorce he got a huge payout. Same deal with Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillipe. Then there is also Roseanne (From the Roseanne show) she went as far as firing her lawyers for even suggesting her gold digging husband Arnold sigh a prenup (I'm telling you, this guy might as well have had GOLD DIGGERY IS MY SPECIALTY tattoted in GOLD on his forehead, that's how obvious he was. When they divorced a couple or so years later, Dude walked away with a cool $90 million. Did I mention he was a lowly writer for some 3rd rate sitcoms when they got married?

From my observation, women who are considerable wealthier than their spouse don't shove the prenup thingy down the men's throat (they are always like I love him, I trust him, whatever I have is his blah blah blahhttps://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/29.gif). It's the men who make a big brouhaha about the whole thing. . . "oh my money, money, She wonno take my hard earned money ooooh! Egba mi!!" Gimme a break!!! [/quote]thank you for this, i was going to attack the topic simply because I knew it will turn around and become a gender war. Its not by force to be married they need to sit down somewhere.

@topic, the story makes sense. I cannot for the life of me fathom why a rich man/woman will marry someone that is poor to the extent you need to fund the persons whole life for him/her. Obviously specific to those with more money than sense (Lord help us redistribute the millions these phools are wasting).
Any sensible human being will be able to spot a 'gold digger' and a prenup saves you from nothing after some time.

i won't encourage it.

yea he does. . . . i'll soon find out whether thats a good or bad thing. . . . lol he'll either think im a complete loony or an absolute lefty! all the same!

MRbrownJAY: oh lawd, oga Sagamite and his selective reading again........... his wife is NOT contributing to his earning from FB, she is contributing to the WELLBEING OF THEIR UNION (in whatever ways she does).
after 7yrs, then he should give his wife whatever his RIGHT for him to do (and her to accept)....if they dcannot come to an understanding then let the court decide on how much she should be awarded. but IMHO, she should be entitled to at least 30% of whatever money was generated (between the two of them) during their union.
the fact that oga Sagamite does NOT believe that she deserves it, is irrelevant to the point at hand. if anyone does not like these practices, then they certainly shouldnt get married. CASE CLOSED!

and that is all- the logic behind it is no rocket science if one simply refuses to understand, just accept it as a law of the land and avoid getting married. Marriage is not for everyone, far be it for those marriage is obviously unsuitable to use primitive reasoning to tarnish it.

lol benefits in Nigeria? Are the benefits specifically localised? what will one not hear.

Hmmm what are my thoughts on this; i will always want to try out a 'melange a trois' but i think ill prefer it with complete strangers. dont want it coming back to byte me in the ass. Then again with the right sort of communication and in a perfect relationship there isnt a thing one couldnt try.

agog: Olashore was not from Ekiti. He was an Oba in Ijeshaland from Iloko Ijesa. The Oba, to our sorrow died two months ago. Adieu the true son of the soil. I will work hard just like u did and achieve success just like you did, touching hundreds of thousands of lives. God helping me will surpass all these.

He's dead? I thought so! I saw the bilboards and was wondering, but nobody mentioned it! May he rip he really did do a lot to make a difference.....

Thanks for this topic I've been meaning to start a similar one. I've commented on this before. Bottom lie is there is no incentive for anyone to remain or play for nigeria, even africa. Those that do mostly do as a last resort. The country is still quite messed up but its a good place to begin when it comes to investing in those that represent the country, it adds pride to to the nation and gives people faith to see their countries teams propering, something Nigerian politicians will probably never understand.....I don't blame these guys at all and well done to them! I'm proud of them especially the bakares! They are really shining!

They always do and even given the choice they always will. It doesn't just apply to basketball but to all sports, Nigeria offers little to know incentive to join their teams. They show no passion or dedication to their athletes and play politics at every angle possible. I was talking about mario recently, even though his probably the greatest player in the world he is constantly disrespected by the italian media, something he will never have faced if he played only one game for ghana. He will have been a demi God! You wonder why these athletes will pass up such opportunities but the truth is these countries are not ready to invest in their people, until they show passion and commitment for potential competitors the good ones will always leave- naturalise for other countries and win gold medals for foreign lands. I'm not always the most patriotic person but I find it incredibly hypocritical countries that fondly humiliate asylum seekers and immigrants taking pride when they win gold medals. Then again I so support athletes who find ways to compete no matter what country, good for them, who cares about the country when all they want is a chance to shine!

[quote author=Duke_Nija]99%? Nigerian Men are way better than their western counterparts any day.[/quote]O you do fool yourselves don't you?

[quote author=Lord_Reed]Sounds more like the philosophy taught by African Magic than reality. In which society are there no gold diggers, skanks and brutal men plus everything in between? Find me that society then maybe I'll agree that Nigeria is the worst of the lot.[/quote]You sound more defensive than objective, no other society is based on sexual relationships. Its obviously a cultural norm in Nigeria, which is why the whome romance without finance topic is relevant. If you want to comfort yourself by saying this is inevitable in all cultures feel free, but understand your sentiments are irrelevant. The facts are plain for all to see and it does nothing to change the way most people in Nigeria live their lives.

[quote author=Lord_Reed]I am so glad that your despondent analysis is only loosely based on reality.[/quote]O please. The only reality anyone needs to understand about nigerians and relationships is that expectations are high. The woman is expected to understand a man can walk all over her- and she expects to be paid for it!

I don't know why anybody has to pay for anybodies transport. But its cultural courtsey in a way, if someone pays you a visit the least you can do is reimburse them for their troubles. I'm guessin if your girl has better use of her money then sure.

Nigerians, seriously queensmith how are you going to survive in this country... The women fool themselves and the men are morons. No1 no nigerian man wants an independent woman, their brains cannot afford it. They are very much run by chauvanist mentality so any independent woman that takes pride from being so living in the typical nigerian lifestyle is fooling and selling herself short. No matter how educated or even how rich most Nigerian raised nigerian women are yes they want and expect money from men. They expect gifts, they expect monthly allowances, they expect payment from allowing you to clambor over her lower ends. Its the way life down there is. So men who can and can't afforave to pay for this 'love' sickens me but its their ure there's not much one can do. So yes, nigerian style romance cooking cleaning being faithful and dying for a man who will in no way reciprocate but throw you sum cash once in a while does require finance. End of.

Travelling in that country is almost impossible- I swear I've been thinking of travelling from london to abuja back to london then lagos just because I don't want to fly their dodgy domestic planes or risk getting robbed. What kind of life? *sighs*

I think 99% of nigerian marriages are rotten ones. Itd better to just stay away from nigerian men- that will had about 20years to your life! :p

If a guy wanted to take me to a top resturant I will be ready!! Emi ke do I look like I want to pay £25 for a burger? I don't even like to pay for cheap food. I will even turn a trip to mcds into a date so I don't have to shell out 5quid. Allow me abeg!

So long as you are comfortable. Not feeling backpains or anything you'll be fine. A friend of mine owned a nightclub and his heavily pregnant girlfriend was there every blessed saturday without fail! With the second hand smoke, there's barely an area you are fully protected from second hand smoke or polllution (especially in Niia) and 4 hours of second hand smoking will do you nothiing. You are pregnant not crippleyou can do whatever you like! Go and have fun! Get some excercise for the little one!

lmao! this girl is a trouble maker!!! dont forget the photos of the army stripping that girl!

you will be there for a very long time. . . . chivalrous nigerian men indeed
