RomanceRe: I Love Her But She's Already In A Relationship by randa(m): 7:49pm On Nov 23, 2007
its easy for us to condemn him, but hey listen to this. lov is all about battles both male and female, we have to battle at work to be the best and to make sure we are relevant in the scheme of things so also is love, u have to prove day by day that u the real deal, so if she is bendable it means that she is not satisfied with her current relationship and she wants to move on, there is nothing wrong with that,,, i have a relationship and i keep on working on my woman to make her realise that i am the best and she does the same for me, there is no relationship if the other party is not satisfied for whatever reason, good or bad, lets not castigate, maybe she is an abusive realtionship and she wants out , or she is just plain tired, shit happens no be naija we dey?
the only advice i have for him is to have an open and frank talk with her, understand what kind of babe she really is before making his move
RomanceMe, My Corper Friend And My Fiancee by randa(op): 6:57pm On Nov 23, 2007
this is kind of funny, but i will try to make it sound ok, i have a fiancee whom i hope to get married to next year, she happens to work in jos while i am in niger state, i have beign here for about two years and i can proudly say despite the nature of my job (i lecture in a tertiary instituition here) i havent slept with any one, about three months ago, i met this very interesting corper who has a great personality and is fun to be with, because of the nature of where i work, and the town , we get to spend time together and do a lot,she is so fantastic to be with and the gist never seems to end , before u start shouting there is nothing intimate between us, she is also engaged but says i spice up things for her around here and she has done the same for me.

i tried to tell my woman about it, but she said she didnt want to know the girl, saying that she does not trust port harcourt girls n all that which is understandbly ok, i tried to explain to her but she said that she knows me and what i can do but does not know the corper or what she is capable of doing, right now the corper is in jos and i wanted my girl to hook up with her and do some shopping with her to bring down to me here, she bluntly refused, she doenst even want to have her number, i have never seen her so brash before. this corper is a fresh breath of air for me, i feel safe with her as in we have been hanging out and doing stuff for three months but there has beign no emotions attached to it, it seems its only me and her that understand our relationship. infact my colleagues at the office think we are sleeping with each other, even her fellow corpers make funny comments to that effect.i just wonder why people think that a guy and a

woman cannot just friends without sex coming in between them?

the last scoop is that she says she can't wait to finish her service for two reasons

to get down to her oga, and make plans for their wedding

to get away from me, because i am becoming a necessary evil in her life, whats the catch?

NYSCRe: NYSC: Now Your Suffering Continues by randa(m): 10:10am On Oct 08, 2007
the biggest problem with the nigerian youth is that we want things to be easy for us, i served at sokoto about six years ago, even though it was all strange to me i wanted to make the best use of it, talking about sm there was none but i did not die, met lots of people , i really learnt a lot and programmed my mind that i was gonn abe there for 12 months and it all went well, infact the peeps i met while service are the ones that made me to get my current job which pays well and i am having fun, i think the logic should be that one should have an open mind and pray for the best, if you are a pesimist u will not get far, so pls try and be positive even thouh the NYSC scheme is not what it used to be
RomanceRe: Men: What Do Ya'll Want Us Women To Know! by randa(m): 7:42pm On Sep 28, 2007
my biggest probs with women is that they want to be the guy and the chick in the relationship, it aint possible, u need to define your role in a mans life, men are emotional(forget anything he says) we want you to criticize us constructively and make reasonable suggestions.another aspect is that of beign able to give you own part to the relationship
let me explain, i work about three states away from my fiancee, anytime i travel i have to drop something for her, when leaving i also have to drop fine, she works even though i earn much more than she does, when she is coming down here i have to pay for her transport, and when she is going backto her base i also have to drop, now i ask myself, what is her role to collect incentives and cash, i would love a woman that can remove her earned cash and get something for me, i does not have to be expensive at all, just the though behind it, it really motivates me to do more for her.
you have to learn to lead the relationship and switch roles so he can take a back seat and enjoy the attention, any REASONABLE GUYwill cherish you and do his best for you, believe that.
CareerMarried, But Has The Hots For Me @ D Office by randa(op): 7:26pm On Sep 28, 2007
she acts weird all the time, her husband works in the accounts section of the tertiary institution where we both lecture, really nice guy, but i notice she is tactically flirting with me, i had the guts to exclaim to her that i wish she was five years younger i would have asked her out and her answer left me gaping, now i am kinda afraid to even pass her office, she is my senoir and a bit older than i am, now i have to dodge her all the time.

the question here is , would you risk an attractive married superior who openly tells you , she fancies you?

SportsRe: Why Do Arsenal Fans Have Such An Inferiority Complex Near Chelsea? by randa(m): 7:36pm On Sep 27, 2007
its funny how people mae their thoughts known, i have never thought of chelsea in the direction that you pour out your thoughts about arsenal, are we such a big deal in your life?, i have been a 11 year veteran of arsenal from george g n bruce rioch, i remember glen helder, the great dane jon jensen et all, i hv not met a chelsea fan who trullyknows his club or loves em in sickness and in health like i do, besides that we all know chelsea were brides maids before the russina came with bags of money, bought the club, bought managers, players and fans a like, he spent so much, sacked ranieri, brought mourinho, sacked him ( we are meant to beleive its was by mutual consent) and now avram grant who i predict will not last more than a season, arsene had used half of what mourinho and ranieri spent only heavens , chelsea literarily bought he league, and guess what, the way abramovich is going i think that chelsea is disaster waiting to happen but guess wat i know u love chelsea and will sink or float with em, and to my virgin chelsea fans learn to understand that the beautiful game is all about winning and losing, i know most of u have been with chelsea during the two year streak but htins like that do not last, and i want to say that i forgive all of you that broke my windscreen last sunday when u lost to united, is a crime to wear and arsenal shirt and have a emblem on my car?

SportsRe: The Best Staduim In Nigeria For Now Apart From Abuja Stadium by randa(m): 2:54pm On Aug 30, 2007
i think that structure wise the national stadium in abuja is the best for now, but if you are like me who is more interrested in the useability instead of aesthetics then i think the teslim balogun stadium in lagos is the best for now. if its for football proper the synthetic pitch at the liberation stadium will catch ur fancy
RomanceMy Lagos Pals And Their Gra Gra by randa(op): 7:31pm On Aug 20, 2007
i do not seem to understand why the guys and chicks i meet tend to disrespect people from the north and the middle belt, i do not mean to generalize, but its something that baffles me, they cannot differentiate between a kanuri, kamba, irigwe, birom and the likes the tend to classify all as hausa. funny, i do know who a yoruba from badagry and one from ilesha is, an ijaw from and ishekiri, kaba from igbeti e.t.c, so how comes they are on the black?, another issue is they tend to think they know all or have the answers to everything, met some corpers when i was serving about seven years ago who were bragging about lagos as if it was not the lagos that i do visit, dont get me wrong i love lagos but it is nowhere near a place like kontagora where u have power for half of the day or more , the roads are ok and no agbero asking u for a handout, now the main issue, the biggest problem is they make so much noise for ppl who know little, once again dont get me wrong i have wonderful friends in and from lag, yinka aina, jimi tijjani et all, but majority of em (the graduates) dont know where bogota is or the currency used in russia, that is to say i caled ten of them and asked them ten questions about varoius stuff outside their disciplines and the were all stammering, imagine, last week some bunch of corpers( all from eko) came to ma office and were hurling insults here and there,
i asked them certain questions about nigeria, and to my chagrin they could not answer,
what i want to say here is that we need to have respect for each other no matter where u are from, u should be judged by ur attitude to life and ur work and not by where u come from , i really get bothered when people tell me they thought i was youruba or from south south when i tell em i am friom plateau state, j-town to be precise they tend not to believe me,

FamilyRe: Disciplining Children by randa(m): 1:26pm On Aug 15, 2007
there is a saying that when u beat a child with one hadn u draw him closer with the other, i will spank my children, when i watch american sitcoms i get repulsed by the lack of respect for elderly people. i was whopped when i was younger and i am grateful for it because its a constant reminder of who i am and what i represent, my dad was a good man who gave us tough love, i knew he loved us and he gave us reasons why he had to whoop us, i am thirty and uptill today those years giude me in all that i do, mid you i have beign around the world, and what i see outside is incredible, no rspect what so ever y most european teenagers and their american counterparts. the only problem is when u whoop and injure or when the kid is not up to 2 years old. for me my kids will get soem tough loving definetely

SportsNelson Mandela And Football Lessons by randa(op): 12:24pm On Jul 24, 2007
i had a good laugh at all my loud mouthed friends who think they know much about the game of football. it was during nelson mandelas charity game at soweto for his birthday, most of em who rant and rave without giving reall affiocionados like us breathing space, the couldnt even recognise gullit without the braids, had a field day telling them about the players that participated like stephen tataw ernest eboungue, et all, leornado, andoni zubizereta . i even gave them a hint of the camerounian squad to spain 82, told them about the nkana brothers , and the italia 90 squad, did anyone see webby chikabala on the bench. they watched the game at my house on metro tv and i did serve them juice. now when they see me they greet me well. i thought them a good football lesson, its not about the premeirship or la liga or even the austrian die liga, big up to guys like akin alabi, mike mayaki.
