Tayotina.... highfive girl.

Pinky dear, sorry it took me this long to reply. I graduated in 2000. And boy oh boy, I was one of those who 'carried' CSC101 till the very final year. It was a share waste of time, that module.

I saw a nigerian commedy recently and I almost cracked my ribs with mirth. Goodness! Those guys are good. It's entitled A Night of a Thousand Laughs with a group of stand-up comedians. My favourites were some really young guy called Basket Mouth and another guy who seems perpetually drunk (that's his trade-mark, I guess).

I really enjoyed it.

My hubby, our 2 kids and my gorgeous self. Any addition and we're at the stadium.

A good one , a very good one!

....... during the endurance trek in our orientation days on camp. I remember telling Rasheeda about her and she had kept saying she trusted me so much and refused to get jealous over 'some calabar girl'. That was only 3 months before. I seriously started considering taking an unanounced trip to Lagos to find out if my girl was alright.

Rape is a gender offence in that only a man can be charged with rape properly so called as an attempt at rape without virginal or anal penetration (forgive my details) is indecent sexual assault with intention to cause bodily harm or grievous bodily harm.

A woman can only be charged with accessory to rape or aiding and abetting. At least this is what obtains in Common Law, although in a recent discussion re this issue with a friend in US, it appears kazey's summation on that is somewhat accurate.

Unreported rape is not rape as the aggrieved lady must not only report the crime but must be inspected by a qualified person before evidences of forceful intercourse vanishes. Rape, in Common Law, carries a maximum punishment of life imprisonment but this is rarely imposed on offenders. I think Nigeria only sentences rapists to 2 years imprisonment. In a funny twist to the Nigerian Legal system, a woman charged with rape (accessory or indecent sexual assault) is sentenced to 3 years in prison. How preposterous.

In any event, yeah, rapists (man or woman) are really sick people, the way I see it, and I don't say that lightly. Some rapists go a step further and smother their victims, snuffing the life out of them. If I were to sit on a rape case, I would use my discretionary powers as a judge; go outside the boundaries of the law and sentence the accused to life in prison, back to back.

To the best of my knowledge, no one who cheats goes scot-free. It's called nemesis and it manages to catch up with them in one form or the other, always. I should add 'sooner or later'... more often than not, sooner.

Capische?

... I had heard so much about the unrivalled sexual prowess of calabar women, how they live to serve their men and all that. Rasheeda and I joked a lot about this. Little did I know that .........

The logic is this: if you don't drop the smelly rat you're holding, how are you going to receive the rose held out to you?

We've all been there and done that... it looks like the sun will never shine again, the dumb guy knows it and as most guys will, capitalises on it. It's called the fear of the unknown.

Maybe if your girl realises that this has been happening since the days of the Apes and that the situation is not peculiar to her or there's no such thing as ‘you guys don't understand'', she'll drop him like hot embers. There's nothing so complex in a situation where some nitwit wants you out of his life for reasons best known to him and he has no morals to go about it the right way.

She's 10 times better off without him. Quote me to her!

If she badly needs someone to give her a verbal shaking, let me know and I'll be too happy to send her my number or e-mail address, whichever suits her better.

..... we both finished our courses from UI, I from Engineering department and her from Social science and went for the service year. That was the beginning of the end.....

Yeh.. nice attempt babadudu, allow me to go against the rules here and say

women are like wine..... the older the better.....

Brilliant question. Admin.......?

A Nigerian woman? I could have sworn a Nigerian man has to be present and consenting for this wrong-doing to take place. Na wah o, you guys just like dissing on women. And one important fact is that the guy is the married one. While the lady's actions are by no means excusable, the guy ought to serve 'double punishment'.

Men are pathetically lazy

In the library... how boring. Just this week to go, just this week.

If it's any consolation, there are loads of eligible guys out here Ash........ just kidding . Welcome on board!

I guess it's time we spoke up re this issue.

Men, I really hate to burst your bubbles for starters, but if you care to really look around you, you'll be amazed to see how many women hold the reigns of financial power in their homes. More often than not, I see women who gladly bail their husbands out on occasion, financially.

Now I know that might not be representing the majority. There is only one way to view this in my opinion, and I dare say most of the foregoing postings have been so far removed from the truth. It is unacceptable for a woman to fall in love with a man or be remotely influenced so to fall based on the strength of his bank account and assets. Understandably, it is an added advantage for a woman to marry a man who is well settled but it is by no means a criterion, or at least should not be.

In a scenario where I am married to a guy who is significantly wealthier than I am, we definitely will STILL pool our resources together to run the household. It is [I]NON SEQUITOR[/I] (most definitely does not follow) that because I take care of our kids, cook, wash, clean and do whatever it is I do for my husband, he must show his appreciation monetarily. How preposterous! How utterly untrue. It does not work that way, mate.

On the other hand, if a guy is wealthy and gets married to a girl from a humble background, the onus lies on him to bring her up to his standard. Since no 2 cases are the same, if in the process of bringing up the said woman, he realises that she is over demanding, he has every right to tighten the strings on his purse. If such a man is deliberately stingy or overtly frugal with economic matters with his wife, then he most certainly is asking for trouble and trust me…. He’ll get it eventually.

I know this is long, but I think it was absolutely necessary to set the record straight. You guys keep talking about us like you live in our skirts, think like we do or have the slightest idea what makes us tick. It would be a very lovely world not to mention peaceful if you men knew what women really want.

I would say 250 for affordability. If we want to retain as many members as we have, then I say we aim for the lower price and see what happens rather than start from 400, lose more than half of the members and then hastily change it to 250 by which time it might be too late.

My persuasive opinion, not binding.

Here is my policy:

My fiancé leaves me for 1 month with no forwarding address, no inkling as to what is going on in his life and he comes back a year later to ask for my hand in marriage....... the answer is NO.

Unless........

.......He confesses that he got a bit scared of the weight of commitment and bailed. He dated someone else for a while and realised it would not work because he was still in love with me. That he'd rather have 'bad' times with me than good times with someone else. (Culled from a song)

I probably dated someone else while he was gone, so I'll be a fool not to forgive him and marry him if I still love him, that is.

But..

He most definitely must tell me what possessed him to leave without warning and what drove him back. Touché.

seun:
Men are great: we do not wear high-heeled shoes, and we are not obsessed with our looks. Sorry [I]o[/I]!

Did I hear you say men are not obsessed with looks? Speak for yourself sir.

Now, my dear sister, in your shoes (well, not the broken one), I'll freeze for a second and most probably turn it into a comedy by removing the offending shoe and staring fixedly at it, shrugging it off or something, just make the audience laugh and go get my award with my shoulders high.

But to tell you the truth, that shoe must have warned you the last time you wore the pair. I would never go anywhere without thoroughly checking out my heels (I love high shoes as well) unless of course I'm driving, but even then.

At least you live to tell the story, so I'm guessing you survived.

Men are largely unfaithful animals

[quote author=Ra link=topic=390.msg3798#msg3798 date=1118000606]Erm....... Solo2, ever heard of the biological clock? Just checking.......

Surely in this day and age of female empowerment, you don't need to get married to satisfy the biological urge to have a child?

Or maybe I blinked and the rules changed all over again.[/quote]Let's just say the large majority of African women still prefer to do things the conventional way when it comes to having kids.

Be that as it may, biological clock is not just about having kids. If a woman spends far too much time trying to work out what her guy's intentions are, by the time she eventually finds out he's not exactly window shopping for diamond rings, she might be too advanced in age to attract the kind of attention she desires and from the appropriate quarters.

A friend of mine just introduced me to Latino music (Spanish), my goodness.......... even though I still don't understand most of the songs; it's really lovely listening to the rhythm.
