Honestly, on a scale of 1 - 10, you're like a 5. So, I'd recommend you get over yourself.

What ignoramuses fail to understand is that bad sex IS a deal breaker in any romantic relationship. If the sex is terrible, the relationship WILL fall apart.

Many people stay in sexually frustrating marriages because they took the "moral high-ground." Then remain depressed, and channel their frustration in everyday life.

You don't have to go around banging everything that moves. But if your relationship has come to a "possible marriage" stage, then do yourselves a favor and have some sex. Once you do, you'll be in a better position to speak on your compatibility as a couple.

Other than that, you're just playing Russian roulette.

I call him a fool

People who say crap like this are hypocrites, at best.

Look around you. The phone you have, the clothes you have, the food you eat, the house you live in etc etc.

Then ask yourself why you didn't opt for a Nokia 3310, so you could spend the difference on a starving person etc, with all else.

In the words of Jay Z, "everyone can tell you how to do it, but they never did it."

Dear nairalanders, please i need your advice on what to do. My wife had been seducing men in the compound where we live lately. We are just newly married, less than a year now. We live in a story building and the windows are made in glasses. One could easily see through them especially in the night. So, what she does is each time she finishes taking her birth, she exposes her body knowing quit well that men around can see her through the window. She does it in the morning, during the day when she notices that i am not around and in the night.

The day i discovered, i confronted her, she said it was her body that it was not none of my business. Though we were quarreling before then. But i knew that was not the first time, she has been doing it before because each time i open the windows in the morning, i always notice that people(men) will just be looking towards my direction. I kept wondering what they were looking at until the day i discovered.

Dear nairalanders, what can i do to make her stop it. Because its getting out of hand. Now she hides and do it and she knows i am not happy with her now.
Great nairalanders, please i need your advice. Thank you

I know this is a serious marital issue, so I probably shouldn't make light of it. However, I couldn't help laughing at the bold part.

I can imagine them just scurrying around like zombies, waiting for a movie to start.

Delusion? Fantasy? I bet you must know me too well to make such myopic assertion. It is you who needs to invest more time in making sure that over bloated inferiority complex in you doesn't implode. Like I said earlier, I'm way better than the whites.

Think, it is not illegal yet.

To make an individual statement is one thing. To make a blanket statement is another.

When you say "we are way better than them," you're asserting that the collective black race is inherently better than "them."
This in itself is a factual fallacy. Why?
Name one independent black nation that can be described as self-sufficient, industrialized and prosperous. ONE.

We are entitled to our own opinions, but not to our own facts.

The FACT is, as a "collective," the black community has failed woefully, in the context of the world, and can't describe its collective self as "better" overall than ANY other race. Whether white, Asian, Arab, Hispanic or anything.

Does this mean each individual black person is less productive than any given person of another race? Absolutely not.

Context is everything.

That said, even saying "I'm way better than the whites" isn't a statement of self-confidence, but one of raw ignorance.

1. For that individual blanket statement to be valid, you would have to be better off economically, physically, ethically and intellectually than EVERY single white person. Every last one. Now, see how ignorant that sounds?

2. If a white person made the same statement, "I am way better than the blacks," you would label him a racist and the grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan.


Moral of the story: Focus on improving yourself as a person, and being the best version of yourself that you can be. Comparisons for self-validation are for the weak.

We are way better than them

Rather than delude yourselves, why not invest that time in actually trying to make your assertions a reality, rather than fantasy?

It's a lesson for does who don't value there's, so!!! Sorry for that act on u.

What sort of lesson is it? With your brand of English, it's hard to tell.

This is a very big lie. Many African communities wore clothes. For example Yoruba pple were very advanced even before white people came here.

No one said they were naked. Even the "naked tribes" had/have some elements of clothing. However, they typically had/have their breasts in view.

e.g the most recent "naked tribe" found in Nigeria have a tradition which suggests if their women wear full clothes, they will be punished by their fertility gods. However, the men typically wear some clothes.

It's not always a case of "lack," but traditional inclinations.

ebenholer:
Hellloooo, u said New York? Well we are neither in New nor York. We are in Nigeria u know. I think it is the high time we stop referring to white men as standard for our life. Have u ever heard them taking u for granted there or using u as standard for their life? Kindly come off it, what isn't good is not good, no other name can u call it.

Your argument in itself is an irony.

Traditional Nigerians were chilling in their native outfits, tities hanging loose. The white man came and colonized. He told you to cover your tities and such.

Now, do you honestly think in "covering up," you're moving closer to your own tradition/ways or moving closer to your colonial master's?

You be the judge.


Image of traditional Ibo girls around the turn of the 20th century. And I bet the village town crier wasn't running around yelling "5 girls flaunt massive cleavage at the village square."

No one gives a sh!t about these dumbass "cleavage" threads taking over nairaland.

Ladies in New York City can legally walk around without a top, just like men can, and some ladies do. Bare tities dangling and all.
Big fuckin deal about some stiff cleavage pic.

Honestly, I need to slap the sh!t out of whoever keeps posting these nonsensical "major cleavage" titles daily.

I mean, i love cleavage, but this shitty title trend is obnoxious as hell.

Honestly, I've never seen a more appropriate time to use the phrase:

"Keep your day job."

Dude, music isn't your thing. Also, music is not a job UNTIL it starts paying the bills.

On a more positive note, even some of the worst musicians make hit songs, so keep putting out those wack tracks and maybe one of them will blow and launch you into the game.

Until then, keep your damn day job.

every time i see peter i feel pity for him coz he dnt know wat hez doing
he is under a spell..... many pple dnt know d real story behind this.
becareful on the type of woman u marry.

xpecially women from the southwaist

bitter truth!

This kind of mentality from the 1700s shared by this individual is what keeps Nigeria in the dark ages.

udemzyudex:
I use tube mate app to download or watch YouTube videos.... Though it buffers unlike when I use the YouTube app to watch.


The major problem is data, before you see Nigerians downloading YouTube videos with high quality data ranging from 100mb above then, it's either they are using cheat or free WiFi...


Data is the problem we're having.

Alright, thanks for the info.

This is a perfect "literalization" of African religiousity.

Nothing but sheep!

The fact that all pastors - Oyedepo, Oyakhilome etc don't literally do this, does not mean it's not what's going on in their churches.

DerrickM:
On BB it plays fairly well without buffering. Just more advisable to download on pc than mobile or android. Sometimes the downloads don't go through but data has been lost etc.

Alright, sounds good. Thanks.

ABSOLUTELY YES!!

IT JUST HAS TO BE MADE OF WOOD

What's wrong with houses made of wood?
I live in a house made of wood, built in 1920 and still a solid structure.

Im a foreign lady in a black body

What correlation does "foreign" have with "non-white"?

66Kazna99:
Guy that's long ting. Just get a cracked IDM or better still search Ummy video downloader. These only work on desktop though. Users can still download YT vids directly on mobile devices for offline viewing but it doesn't save to the phone storage. PC is best experience.

Thanks. However, over 90% of the visitors to my site access it through mobile devices, so that's my primary focus.

How do you personally download to your mobile device for offline viewing?

DerrickM:
*I understood & the method I explained is what I personally use to trace the actual youtube channel to watch there & use "Internet Download Manager(IDM)" to get them easily. Alternatively i can use "Download Accelerator Plus(DAP)"

*The widget you talk of is from www.savefrom.net when you place "ss" in front of the youtube link & install the browser extension from the site to download faster.

*Sometimes I watch a video directly on my bb native browser to get a sneak peek @the video.

Thanks for your feedback. From what you've said, I take it people generally have some form of download tool installed on their device.
However, they still have to track down the actual link in order to effect a download.

As far as direct playback/streaming, do you know if the internet speeds available to people allows for minimal buffering?
Like when you take a peek on your BB browser, does it generally play at a decent rate? Sorry for the multiple questions.

DerrickM:
@RAMALOT: Just saw your thread. Generally whether it's a site built on blogger,wordpress or dreamweaver you can embed the youtube videos. Now in the case where you see a video & obviously want to trace the youtube channel after watching it to subscribe to it. Rightclick on the video & dialogue menu from youtube appears. You chose to "copy video url" amongst other options. After open new tab on your web browser, rightclick again then "paste & go". It gives you the actual video link youtube for you to bookmark or save as a text. Hope this answers your question best regards...

Thanks for your response. However, I don't think you got my question.

I own two sites which have predominantly embedded Youtube video content. In order to improve the user experience, I'm researching the different ways people in Nigeria watch/download Youtube videos they come across on such sites. Specifically how they download them.

For instance, I found out some people add "ss" to the start of the domain name. e.g "youtubedotcom/XXXX" becomes "ssyoutubedotcom/XXXX."

This redirects to a different site which delivers a direct download widget for that video.

In essence, I'm trying to better understand the methods of choice used by people in Nigeria, so I can make the site more user-friendly.

Do I take it no one downloads videos to their devices online?

Nigerians are the cause of their own problems.

All they want is chaos, disorder and anarchy so they can do whatever they feel like, without checks, balances and repercussion.

There is a mudafuckin city plan. If you choose to bribe someone, buy illegal land and erect illegal structures, then the outcomes are yours to deal with.

Nigerians constantly criticize its government for failing to maintain orderly cities like they see on TV in developed nations.
Well, dumbasses, our cities are organized because if you choose to start an adhoc market by the road, or build houses where you like, you will dance to the music.

I lived in Nigeria back when El-Rufai was the FCT minister and he got the same criticisms from proponents of city chaos.
It is nothing new, and it is irrelevant. All that matters is that land use laws MUST be followed.

These animals almost turned Abuja to the chaotic cesspool that characterizes most of Lagos. El-Rufai battled this and maintained sanity.

I have ZERO interest in the political leanings of anyone, or in the politics of Nigeria. Common sense is all anyone really needs.

flybiz08:
Nigeria is becoming more of an impasse. Why parade a Yahoo boy when there are Fulani herdsmen wrecking havoc everywhere?

Terrible president who wasn't ready for governance in the first place.



#diehardPDP

This is a pretty silly reasoning (or lack thereof). That's like saying, "Why arrest rapists, when there are ritualists out there to arrest?"

One is not linked to the other, and each must be handled in isolation.

I have no interest in the mindless APC vs PDP war y'all like to have in Nigeria, but common sense shouldn't be applied by party affiliation.

austinsmat:
this man is killing what it takes Jonathan time to build foreign investment

Foreign investment is good, but it's honestly not what Nigeria needs.

Nigeria needs a vibrant local industry, especially for such shoes that can easily be filled by a Nigerian company. Remember, at the end of the day, foreign investors send their profit home.

I know people generally download videos on their cell phones because of slow connections.

However, my question is this. When you visit a site where a youtube video is embedded, how do you typically watch it if a download link, or the direct youtube link isn't provided?

I own a site that posts mostly videos without download links, and I'm trying to better understand how people in Nigeria generally experience/use such site content. In order for me to improve user experience.
