hot-angel..... professional help beckons

J.Lo, I don't know what she's going through now, but she sure is going through something. She's lost all the curves that represented her trademark. She's now like Shakira void of her gorgeous hips...... not a pretty sight.

I like some of her songs, a few films she's acted such as Maid In Manhattan... but I'm not so sure about her person. She's not the nicest person, I gather.

Hot-angle.... sorry darling.

Erm..... Danasco, there is professional help for people like your friend; I believe those guys are called 'physiatrists'.

He is downright insane is what he is and deserves neither of the sisters. He is engaged to be married to one sister in less than 3 days now (if this story is to be believed) and is allegedly in love with the other.... how utterly preposterous!!!

My final say..... He needs professional help, the kind where he gets to be sedated and calmed down!

For starters, I've only got one best friend and she's happily married with a gorgeous baby girl who happens to be my god-daughter. That's irrelevant anyways.

I am not very comfortable with having a lot of female friends... the hassles attached are, to me, not nearly worth it. One of the hassles involves ‘eyeing your guy’... to put it in the crudest terms. It's best not to ever allow such a situation to occur because believe it or not, these things we see on Nigerian Home Videos happen everyday. Every day some girl/woman is losing her guy/husband to their purportedly best friends.

However, defying all odds, if this was to ever happen to me, been the terribly emotional person that I am, I will undoubtedly be devastated for a while but then I'll move on. They were both not worth associating with in the first place. It takes a really mature person to view it as Calabarman did when something similar happened to him (as he posted below). But as for me....... it is impossicant! I wouldn’t date such a slack pant in the first place nor befriend a viper.

This is your first-cousin you're talking about from the analogy you gave....your father's younger sister's son...

I think it's plain grotesque to, in your words, 'lay it on' your cousin, kiss him and be beside him. To romantically or even sexually desire your cousin is a bit on the whacky side. My humble opinion.

Admittedly every girl or boy at one time or the other had some residual of affection for their cousins at some tender age but to actually act on such misplaced feelings is ....erm..... grotesque at best.. for want of a better word.

.... I get the gist, thanks.

Is it just me or do we seem to have exhausted Nigerian names in this thread? Just checking.

Well put hot-angel....quite graphic

ATM: Cash machine

Spot on diakim, spot on!

hot_angel, right you are! She said as much in an interview after the Hotel Rwanda. Erm... uncle Terry, seems lik we are the ones who 'can't stand this anymore', don't you think?

sholao:
Ra,

How do you determine who really needs help? Afterall there are many in Nigeria who don't have jobs, and would really love the chance of joining the rat race in a place like the UK.

Shola, there's a clear line between the two. Well, as far as I am concerned, there is. What's more, you said it yourself in your earlier post. If I'm sending money to Nigeria or whatever part of the world, it's most certainly to a close friend or relative who I know needs the money. How do I know? Because these are people I know won't bother me unless they indeed need the money. Now some guy whose last name I don't even recall comes online after we might have chatted a couple of times and asks me for money?..... I'm sorry but that will be the last time he ever sees me online. Some guy I knew back home in my Church (get this, we were hardly friends) and barely ever got to know his name called me up about a month ago (must have taken my number off someone in Church) at 3am..... 3:am and asked me for money for his brother to send some stuff to him in Nigeria........ what arrant nonsense!!!

If anyone comes online and wants to chat about politics, the weather or sports, as long as my time and frame of mind permits at such time, I'm game. But nothing switches me off more than people trying to take advantage of others or being outrightly dodgy.

Angela k.. I feel you, my sister. In my opinion, a lot of people simply start chatting with other people with ulterior motives and it's really sad.

I see it as nothing but begging.

Com'on. How do you meet someone online, you don't know the first thing about them save for what they've told you about themselves and you are begging for money? It's ridiculous at best. It happens all the time and it ranges from money to phones to .... someone had the unmitigated temerity to ask me if I could sponsor him over to the UK to progress his basket balling career. What a laugh! This coming from a guy I had no idea where he even got my yahoo id from in the first instance. I told him basket ball is not as big in the UK as it is in the States and that he should record his training sessions, send the tapes to prominent teams in the US and hope for the best. I said I would help in securing the names of such teams for him .... gues what..... he said I should not bother and signed off. The next time he sent me an e-mail (I quite naturally blocked him from my contact list) he was lamenting on how poor his folks are and how badly they all need money to survive.

I wish Nigerians will stop this nonsense act. It simply beclouds ones jugdement in discerning who is genuiely in need of help and who is simply taking the piss.

So to answer the question, it's BEGGING!

I second Latoya..... a sin is a sin is a sin is a sin is..............

Lying is as bad a sin as homosexuality or fornication. So, there you have it!

Erm....

whatever you say osoba........ you've only succeded in utterly confusing me.

Layi, you sound like we could actually trade CDs. Most of the songs on your list are indeed ageless.

Tracy Chapman:

1. Give Me One Reason To Stay Here
2: 2 Years In A Virginia Jail For My Lover
3. Behind The Walls
4. I'm Ready
5: Fast Car
6. Mountain O'Things

I simply love the babe and envy her unique voice.

Erm...pkrix, if you meant what you wrote, that was most unkind of you. If you are just pulling Mosiate's legs, it is even more unkind of you. Either way I doubt very much if Mosiate will recognise any humour in the situation. I wouldn't.

I wish Mosiate would come back to let us know what happened when she met with her lover boy.

While it's very possible to fall in love over the phone, it takes more than three calls and I dare say you would need to meet the guy in question first to find out if there's indeed any residual of chemistry between you. All the best.

As someone rightly said here on this forum, marraige is a beautiful thing when one enters into it with the right partner regardless of age. I continue to second that stand.
